OFFICIAL VINYL REISSUE OF CONTRALUZ – AMERICANOS

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’.

1st VINYL REISSUE OF SKRYVANIA - SKRYVANIA

B and name : Skryvania A l bum t i tl e :  Skryvania Forma t : Vi n y l LP + Bonus CD (180 g r ., 350 gsm covers, Bonus CD, 2-page color insert ) Other specifications: Strictly limited pressing of 300 hand-numbered copies C a t. no : P Q R 024/PQR025 Bandcamp https://pqr-disquesplusquerel.bandcamp.com/album/skryvania File nearby: Shylock, Ripaille, Mona Lisa, Metabolisme, Pulsar, Arachnoid A true diamond in the pantheon of French progressive rock, Skryvania’s sole album that was released in 1978 is currently the scene’s most expensive artefact, with copies selling for over 3000 euros (if found). The album’s musical merit is hardly contestable. Although largely composed in the typically French symphonic prog vein, it is no stranger to hard prog and psychedelia, with fuzzed out guitar solos in constant dialogue with escalating moog assaults. This largely instrumental album was originally released on the DIY label DMR (Philippe de Magnée Recordings, the group’s producer and me

1st VINYL REISSUE ROY RUTANEN – ROY RUTANEN

  1st VINYL REISSUE ROY RUTANEN – ROY RUTANEN Forma t : Vi n y l LP (180 g r ., with 2-page color insert ) Other specifications: Strictly limited pressing of 500 hand-numbered copies in 2 colors (300 black, 200 gold vinyl) C a t. no : PQR027 https://pqr-disquesplusquerel.bandcamp.com/album/roy-rutanen File nearby: Perry Leopold, Byrds, Abstract Truth, Kenny Rogers & The First Edition, Meic Stevens Roy Rutanen’s self-titled album has remained a best-kept secret among psychedelia and acid-folk collectors ever since its original release in 1971. What could have been the solid foundation for a promising career in the music industry was abandoned due to the lack of label support, subsequently surviving as a one-off museum piece, accessible to a select few who can afford the price commanded for original copies.  This is the time for Roy’s music to shine through with his unique combination of moody acoustic bliss and acid-drenched solos, all of which are epitomized in the Trip

1st VINYL EDITION OF CHEVAL FOU

1st VINYL EDITION OF CHEVAL FOU B and name : Cheval Fou A l bum t i tl e : Cheval Fou   Forma t : Vi n y l LP (180 g r ., splatter, poster cover 60x60 ) Other specifications: Strictly limited pressing of 300 numbered copies, remastered, with bonus tracks (download card), including 50 copies with 6 printed Fouart cards C a t. no : PQR028   File nearby: Group 1850, Amon Duul, NYL, Dashiel Hedayatt, Gong, Pyramid (Ger), Beat of the Earth, Rotomagus, Chêne Noire 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,
