We are repentlessly thrilled to bring you the first reissue of Tercer Milenio, probably the best hard rock/heavy prog album released in the prolific Argentine 70’s scene. This is a more mature and tighter effort compared to Orion’s Beethoven’s debut Superangel that places them in the spotlight of heavy prog/proto metal. The album’s opening blaster Amistades Desparejas establishes very clear expectations about what is to follow: a tapestry of scorching riffs and acid-drenched solos, melodic intermezzos that succumb to fiendish vocals and stodgy b-lines of pure hard prog pedigree, verging on epically sinister proto metal. Just picture a jam session between High Tide and Black Widow or Uriah Heep with Pentagram. Each track has its own identity and adds something different to the entire work. The 8-minute long self-titled track is a doomy procession that puts the utopian metaphorical transposition of highness to eternal slumber, underscored by an authentically uncompromising, raw and unpolished production that catapults enflamed rocks to your cochlea.  Of equal duration, Viaje combines symphonic and psychedelic elements against a hard substrate, while the hard rocker Hermano Silencio concludes the album full-circle mode with an overriding sticky riff that just screams for more. This is a collectors’ edition of 300 numbered copies in 3 different colors (of 100x each) with a 2-page insert and full band bio.

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...
