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 first, long-awaited official reissue in a limited edition of 400 numbered copies (250 in black and 150 in marble vinyl), featuring the original booklet + bespoke biography straight from the band.

RIALZU biography

By
  RIALZU biography by Gilles Renne (Rialzu) and Alain Lebon (Soleil Zeuhl)   It was during the rebirth of the Corsican Independence movement that the only record of RIALZU appeared. RIALZU, a band whose musical adventure plunges me back into the far-away and almost ghostly universe of my youth.   RIALZU was created in the early 1970’s at the peak of an incredible musical effervescence : many bands, soon to become legends, were breaking musical taboos and adventuring onto virgin territories by mixing musical styles with incredible creativity and thus laying the new foundations of music yet to be. It was in this atmosphere that, as a teenager, I began teaching myself to play the guitar by trying to decipher the magical notes of my ‘guitar heroes’ from their albums. I met Christophe Mac Daniel, a young organist from Corsica, at a Jesuit boarding school in Avignon. Together we took our first musical steps by starting up a band (of ever-changing names) with two other...

1st VINYL REISSUE OF MIRTHRANDIR – FOR YOU THE OLD WOMEN

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...
