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’.

By
  B and name : Easter Island A l bum t i tl e : Easter Island C a t. no : PQR038/39 Specs: Vi n y l 180 g r ., s trictly limited pressing of 400 numbered copies, with bonus CD + 12-page booklet, 2 50 copies in black, 150 in splatter vinyl. File nearby : Mirthrandir, Cathedral, Lift, Genesis, ELP Easter Island's self-titled 1979 masterpiece rightfully stands in the midst of the top 10 US Prog Classics. It offers an emotionally captivating experience, marked by the melodic ebb and flow that is definitive of dexterously multilayered symphonic prog, interwoven with outbursts of heavy riffs. From the lush Mellotron textures and melodic bass lines of Genius of the Dance to the heavy progression of Face-to-Face, this is an album that grows within its listeners like a benevolent virus. The highlight of the album is the 17-minutes long Alchemist’s Suite, including the oneiric sequence of Telesterion, an evocative tribal piece of percussion and electronics that radiates with s...

File nearby : Bacamarte, Rennaissance, MIA, Armando Tirelli, Apoteosi, Catharsis Agnus formed in 1973 in Santa Fe, Argentina, but it wasn’t until 1980 that they managed to release their sole magnus opus Pinturas Y Expresiones, the most expensive (3k) prog album that was ever released in Argentina.  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 fir...
