  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...

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 an...

Heronimus Fin are nothing less than a sustainably authentic, and, given their longevity, genuinely sustainable neo-psychedelic combo. Formed in 1994, and hailing from Birmingham (UK), with 6 albums under their belt and a new one coming up later this year, they are among the very few acts in the genre who have been acclaimed by both the mainstream and the underground press, made appearances in key venues and ...

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’, th...

Series PROG VENEZUELA Bandcamp https://pqr-disquesplusquerel.bandcamp.com/album/a-traves-de-la-ventana B and name : Aditus A l bum t i tl e :  A Traves de la Ventana Forma t : Vi n y l LP (180 g r . , with Bonus CD + 12-pa ge booklet) Other specifications: Strictly limited pressing of 300 numbered copies C a t. no : P Q R - 015 Previously self-released in 1977, the debut album by Aditus is a case of non-stop high-energy crossover, the progeny of 4 outstanding musicians who were versed in equal measure in prog-rock and jazz fusion. In the same manner that Vytas Brenner popularized local folk music by transmuting it through electronics, prog and jazz, Aditus bring high-energy jazz-fusion overladen with prog keyboards, with a fair share of latin percussion and juicy rhythm sections. Most notably, it features a space-age anthem (El Conde De Casanare) that simply adds a mouthwatering grain to a versatile wall of sound. The album has been remastered from the original tape...

Kazmor El Prisionero is a concept album that not only appeals to prog and psychedelia aficionados, but will also surprise fans of prog and folk metal. Although this is a concept album, each track is marked by its own character, with at least three dominant sub-genres harmoniously co-inhabiting its grooves, namely, hard-rock, progressive, and psychedelia.    In fact, as soon as one enters Kazmor’s enclave, it becomes readily apparent that Equilibrio Vital may be effortlessly cited as folk metal’s grandparents, presaging the genre’s emerge...
