OFFICIAL VINYL REISSUE OF
CONTRALUZ – AMERICANOS

 

 






File under (or nearby): Pax, Los Jaivas, Wara, Congreso, Osanna, J.E.T, Coven, Lucifer, High Tide, Mount Rushmore

First official vinyl reissue, including two bonus tracks, redesigned back-cover and hand-numbered to 200 copies (100 in black, 50 in gold and 50 in red vinyl). 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’, the acid-drenched ‘Clave De Sol’ and ‘La Sarna Del Viento’, to the ethereally proggy  ‘El Charco’.

A much sought after artefact among savvy prog collectors, and not at all coincidentally, For You The Old Women sits comfortably among the top 10 most inventive and omni-dexterous US prog...
