Estructura
*Limited edition of 300* Estructura is one of the first prog outfits that formed in Venezuela, with a pure symphonic pedigree. 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…
Kazmor El Prisionero
*Limited edition of 300* Equilibrio Vital spawned 2 remarkable albums of equal gravitas that are on top of prog collectors’ lists. Kazmor El Prisionero is a concept album that not only appeals to prog and psychedelia aficionados, but will also surprise fans of prog and folk metal. Although this is a concept album, each track is marked by its own character, with at least three dominant sub-genres harmoniously co-inhabiting its grooves, namely, hard-rock, progressive, and psychedelia. In fact, as …
A Traves De La Ventana
*Limited edition of 300* Previously self-released in 1977, the debut album by Aditus is a case of non-stop high-energy crossover, the progeny of 4 outstanding musicians who were versed in equal measure in prog-rock and jazz fusion. In the same manner that Vytas Brenner popularized local folk music by transmuting it through electronics, prog and jazz, Aditus bring high-energy jazz-fusion overladen with prog keyboards, with a fair share of latin percussion and juicy rhythm sections. Most notably, …
Los Elementales - Fuerzas Magicas De La Naturaleza
*Limited edition of 400 copies in 4 colours numbered to 100 copies each.* Los Elementales- Fuerzas Magicas De La Naturaleza was composed and originally released in 1977, at the apex of Arco Iris’ prolific musical career. A well-deserved successor to Agitor Lucens, it is their most prog-oriented masterpiece, a veritable distillation of years of uniquely carved and meticulously executed psych/folk/jazz tunes that earned them their reputation among Argentina’s cultural pantheon’s finest. If nature …
Pinta Tu Aldea
*Limited edition of 300* First official re-release of this one-of-a-kind gem, with newly designed (and band-approved) back cover. Pinta Tu Aldea, recorded in 1977, yet unreleased up until 1983, belongs to the cohort of outstanding artworks that sound as fresh and relevant today, as when they were originally recorded. Digressing from their ELP-esque affinities which overshadowed their debut album, the mighty Alas, in quest for a unique sound that would blend for the first time the avant tango idi…
Rialzu (LP)
*Limited edition of 300* U Rigiru, as suggested by the very title (in Corsican), is a circular endeavor, a self-referential leap from and into an existential angst-ridden enclave, enshrouded in a celestial abyss. Rialzu’s first and only album is rightfully considered by savvy collectors as a hidden gem in the prolifically versatile French prog scene. Firmly rooted in Magma-esque (Köhntarkösz period) dark matter, it deviates idiosyncratically from the Zeuhl meisters towards a stultifying eeriness…

** "Moon Fools" LP Edition of 200 + "Ethernal Rhythm" Bonus CD ** Long awaiting to find its due place in the pantheon of 60s and 70s European progfolk, acid folk and psych folk gems that have been mushrooming over the recent years, Full Moon’s first release, Moon Fools, is finally brought back to life. Originally released in 1976, as a limited private pressing of 500 copies that were mostly sold in gigs, Moon Fools is a never-ending journey to the East, a constant interplay between darkness and …
