Almendra left its heavy footprint legacy, so that Rock music in Argentina could have its Experimental and Avant-Garde quota through the poetry of Luis Alberto Spinetta and the audacity of that legendary and mythical band, in order to lay the foundations for a new musical aesthetic and fusion that could only be carried forward by true pioneers and references who were in it for the long run. Short-lived, though intense (1968-1970), in 1979 Almendra came back and gifted us with a double live album, as well as a studio LP effort, culminating their story in the year 2009 with five songs played live-in-concert during the "Spinetta y sus bandas eternas" mega-show event, which remained as an everlasting worthy memory of those who boarded that train to the south.

This album was released as a limited edition in 1998 and it was shortly sold-out. This opus is inspired by the well-known character of Virginia Woolf’s novel. The dualism of the character is well exemplified when strong Neoclassical influences coexist with with arias built on complex guitar arpeggios with a very impressive emotional impact.

A welcome to the Cabaret From Hell, so to speak, and a highly unusual attraction which brings artists both dead and alive together for a really grotesque and macabre show, and through astonishment and admiration transports us back to the lovely Paris of the Belle Epoque, more precisely to the Montmartre Cabaret of Terror. Without a shadow of a doubt, this is the band's darkest, perturbing, strange, and terrifying album...

Digital album
Debut album by this Neo Symphonic band fronted by the former lead singer of Nexus, Mariela González. This outfit treads the same familiar, melodious path that the current Arena treks on; specially eloquent during the most agressive passages of their terrific suite, which boasts a total duration of over forty minutes worth of pure and outstanding talent.

Second studio recording by this outfit, in which they introduce us to their new female lead vocalist. She definitely brings a new edge to the band, and the overall sound is a little Harder, while still searching for new directions within their own genre.

With a title that suggests the beginning of a new phase in the band's career, as well as shake-ups in the group's line-up, ATempo shows another side of their composition range with obvious inclinations towards the Melodic Hard Progressive genre. This about face is especially apparent with their new vocalist, whose style perfectly fits the change of direction.

Debut album by this band so heavily influenced by Psychedelia and Kraut Rock. A Dark atmosphere prevails throughout this entire set, amidst an abundance of intensely distorted yet current sounds. Amazing recordings sung in English, which will surprise many ears.

This record presents us with song-formatted type of compositions, featuring Progressive arrangements, and a very healthy dose of Argentine seventies Rock influences, albeit within a modern-sounding framework, potentiated by stick and wind instruments. The group's components have all enjoyed vast trajectories and originate from different musical branches, each one contributing his own colours, flavours and influences.

New Chilean Instrumental project led by guitarist Richard Pilnik (Entrance). The combo's concoction is orientated towards combining Symphonic elements, Fusion and Prog Metal, thus making the group's sound not too far off from that of bands such as Planet X. There is a very strong presence of guitars (a la Allan Holdsworth and Steve Vai) and absorbing keyboards.

Debut album by this Argentine duet comprised of Mariano Spadafora and Tomas Barrionuevo. We could categorize their beautiful and delicate melodies within the Post Rock movement, combined with the sounds of Symphonic Rock. Autumn Moonlight have been endowed with a very high level of compositional quality, and are sonically close to the main representatives of this particular style (Sigur Ros).

The musical growth experienced by Autumn Moonlight on this, their second album, is really impressive. The very detailed and elaborate work on the arrangements, and the combination of different sonorities, enrich the duet's compositions by mixing Post Rock together with Progressive and Symphonic Rock, while going through melancholic climaxes, furious guitar explosions, and orchestral keyboard arrangements during the whole process.

With a slight turn towards Atmospheric Progressive Rock, the duet tries to innovate their music by seeking different intensities: much more energetic and constantly changing sonic climates: from the most aggressive to the calmest ones, as they are already well known within their Post-Rock genre. Their third album boasts an outstanding renewed musical growth.

Ave Rock was one of the very first so-called Progressive Rock bands to emerge in Argentina during the early seventies. Their sound was full of rhythm changes, and boasted compositions abundant in vast melodic richness. The virtuosity displayed by the group's members was also of extremely high caliber.

Three years after they released their first album in 1974, Ave Rock returned in 1977 with a new line-up and launched "Espacios", the group's second L.P. Consisting of barely three tracks (two of them being of extra long duration), this record is much more Symphonic than its predecessor, and features many references towards the music of outfits such as Yes and Flash.

After the dissolution of Astrocity (from the City of Olavarría, province of Buenos Aires), some of its members settled in the City of La Plata and formed a Progressive Rock quartet, which bore a striking resemblance to and strong influence from the Argentine Rock sounds of the 70's, such as Invisible, Pescado Rabioso, Vox Dei, among others.

This was the third long-player by this Argentine Power Trio. On this occasion, they boasted a Black Sabbath-styled darker sound and influences. This record is most definitely harder than their previous album efforts, with a rather more densely-driven rhythm base and disturbing melodies within the Psychedelic Rock genre, and with emphatic Hard Blues accents.

Everybody knows César "Banana" Pueyrredón as one of the maximum exponents of the Argentine Pop song and romantic ballad. What the majority do not know, is the fact that between the years 1979 and 1980, César released two albums worth of net Symphonic Progressive style, which featured obvious influences from Yes, Genesis, Focus, and local outfit Crucis. This compilation presents the most representative compositions from that period in time.
