It comprises original compositions and electrifying renditions of songs brought to fame by the likes of Tommy James & The Shondells, The Beatles and, of course, Jefferson Airplane elevating these classics to new heights of intensit…

Banda Da Capital
Som Imaginário are the stuff of MPB mythos. Integral to Brazil’s Clube Da Esquina movement in the early 1970s, a heady blend of progressive rock, folk, psychedelia, jazz and traditional Brazilian rhythm flows through the three studio albums the band recorded between ‘70 and ‘73. Flying the countercultural freak-flag amid the context of military dictatorship, the Brazilian prog lords shared much of the sense of experimentation and bountiful fuzz bequeathed by their tropicalismo forbearers. But ar…

Atabal Yemal
*Limited edition of 300* An all-time classic from the vast fields of eclectic prog that most probably will never grow old for as long as there are demanding listeners. Atabal Yemal, recorded in 1979, is a gigantic clockwork formation of perfectly synchronized small parts that melt into surreal supple space. At times, symphonically weeping woodwinds in dialogue with zeuhl at its darkest, as the surface antithesis is resolved by a strange attractor that swallows them and then leaves a trombone pon…
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

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, …

Não Fale Com Paredes
Módulo 1000 were not messing around when they made 'Não Fale Com Paredes’. It holds its own, not just as a raw, heavy, experimental “Brazilian” psychedelic rock album, but as a raw, heavy, experimental psychedelic rock album, full-stop!
La Mosca
*In process of stocking* Released towards the end of 1989, La Mosca was the last job by the mythical Eduardo Mateo (1940-1990), one of the most influential artists in Uruguayan music. Although Mateo was a remarkable percussionist and was very well known for his short songs, with simple lyrics, where Uruguayan roots are mixed with Brazilian, African, Indian and Arabic influences, on his last album, his work took a turn on a brand new direction. Alongside the multiinstrumentalist and sound enginee…
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.

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…
