This is a unique blend of symphonic prog with 2 faces, equally split between the 2 sides, one with a folky edge, punctuated by aethereal pastoral vocals in an intimate dialogue with flute and violin, and another packed with wandering psychedelic guitars and side-effects. Picture Rennaissance in an interminable jam with MIA and Catharsis with Bacamarte and you might start to get a feel for this one-of-a-kind artefact. This is the first, long-awaited official reissue in a limited edition of 300 copies (2 pressings of 150 numbered copies each, in black and marble vinyl), featuring the original booklet + bespoke biography straight from the band.

We brought you Rialzu, Skryvania, Cheval Fou, and now it's time for the first vinyl reissue of Alpha Centauri's diamond: Alpha Centaury. Originally privately released in a limited pressing of 300 copies in 1976, and equally hard-to-find as the aforementioned titles, this gem is shrouded in mystery, for the simple reason that Alpha Centauri didn't even pursue publicity during their short-lived existence. This is an album that marries both psychedelia and prog, in a delicately eerie and melancholically tempestuous way. A sheer ear-pampering experience that sits as comfortably on your cochlea as suffusing the darkest moments of Mémoriance with the haunted passages of Dickens' Royal Incarnation on the empty Downer street of Common People and Zerfas, interspersed with the guitar virtuosity of Bruno Névez. This long-in-the-making edition is available in only 300 hand-numbered copies (150 on black and 150 on marble vinyl), extenuatingly remastered for your maximum audio pleasure by the sound-meister Gustavo Bolasini, with a 2-page insert including, at last, a proper biography of this shooting-star.

César Pueyrredón's, the mastermind and Banana's main composer, passion for melody and his unique romantic style were the main drivers behind the most distinctively European sounding symphonic prog album that came from Argentina in 1979. Composed to perfection, this is an album that will appeal in equal measure to fans of Kaipa and Camel, as well as to those seduced by the mellow side of Italoprog. The first ever official reissue of this essential album comes in an ultra-limited edition of 200 hand-numbered copies (100 black and 100 yellow), with a 2-page insert showcasing how Banana's magnum opus came to be.

Cheval Fou was one of the most important, prolific and authentic psychedelic outfits that thrived on the margins of the French underground during the first half of the 70s. A precursor to the by now more well-known and equally outstanding space-rock formation NYL, Cheval Fou's salvaged recordings are a testament to the purest made-in-Europe free-form, freak-out psychedelia. Just picture an amalgamation between Group 1850's Agemo and Amon Duul's Phallus Dei, with Dashiel Hedayatt dropping in for a quick jam, and you will catch a glimpse of that horse-headed ballerina in far-out space delivering drones with playfully sinister ferocity on a flying chess-board. Not at all surprisingly, as this is what Cheval Fou did from dusk to dawn over their 5-year long life that was so intensely creative, and so good to be true that it just had to remain the distant echo of an entire scene's unconscious. As a flamboyantly proud homage to those momentary (int)er(r)uptions of lavaic flux bequeathed to us by Cheval Fou, we enshrined them in this limited edition of 300 numbered copies, in splatter vinyl, an open stargate to bonus tracks, and all of the above sheltered in a fold-out poster cover. And for the inner circle of our collector friends, only 50 copies include the Fouart Gallery, featuring 6 printed 'Postcards from the Edge'.

The highly collectable debut album by Contraluz, originally released in 1973 on EMI, is the most exemplary hard-psych masterpiece to ever emerge from the prolific Argentinean scene, interspersed with proggy corridors that are scented with folky elements. This is a pure ear-pampering experience for those who crave in-your-face hard sonic assaults and ferocious rhythm-sections, topped up with majestic flutework and glimpses of prog serenity around the edges. The legendary Americanos is packed with sticky tunes, from the homonymous opening track, a straight psych-folk anthem of comparable gravitas to Jaivas' 'Todos Juntos', to the acid-drenched 'Clave De Sol' and 'La Sarna Del Viento', and the ethereally proggy 'El Charco'.

Both of their albums feature stellar musicianship, an explosive co-existence of neo-classical with hard-prog, punctuated by celestial keyboards and interspersed with ethereal vocals, a hyperreal space where moog twists anchor mood swings and provide syntactic orientation to a passionate trajectory in constant flux. At the same time contemplative and dynamic, slippery and firm, lyrical and crude. A collectors' gem, hard to find in pristine condition, fully remastered in a limited pressing of 300 copies.

GATEFOLD SLEEVE
STRICTLY LIMITED PRESSING OF 300 COPIES

 

File under (or nearby): Celeste, Locanda delle Fate, Quella Vecchica Locanda, Arco Iris, Pacífico, Horizonte, Aucan

 

First ever official vinyl reissue, fully remastered, of this highly collectable one-off gem by the Argentinean progsters Eternidad. Originally recorded and released in 1977, around the same period as Bubu's and Alas's masterpieces, Apertura thrives with harmonious nostalgia against a blissful sonic canvas. Here, you're in for a treat in the artfully carved mellow side of prog where the sun always shines and good vibes lurk in every corner. In between dreamy folk openings and secret passages and the typical multilayered instrumental dialogues that evolve gradually into roaring and soaring heights, Apertura endorses stylistic diversity and transmutes it into a unique imprint, akin to a hybrid formation between Arco Iris (Sudamerica o el regreso a la Aurora period), Pacifico and Sui Generis, on the one hand, and Horizonte, Locanda delle Fate, Celeste, Quella Vechia Locanda, on the other. All of the above, enclosed in a picturesque gatefold cover that merges the urban semiosphere with nature in a chiasmic folding.
