Aún es tiempo de sonar marks the beginning of the end for the Argentinean Banana: the end of their mass popularity, having been recognized until 1978 (and still going) as one of the most trending outfits in Argentina thanks to their ballad-driven compositions, and the beginning of a wholly new orientation in a symphonic prog vein. César Pueyrredón’s, the mastermind and Banana’s main composer, passion for melody and his unique romantic style were the main drivers behind the most distinctively European sounding symphonic prog album that came from Argentina in 1979. Composed to perfection, this is an album that will appeal in equal measure to fans of Kaipa and Camel, as well as to those seduced by the mellow side of Italoprog. The first ever official reissue of this essential album comes in an ultra-limited edition of 200 hand-numbered copies (100 black and 100 yellow), with a 2-page insert showcasing how Banana’s magnum opus came to be.

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

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,
