Este mes no se nos escapa.
Ultima semana y el jueves tenemos cita con el buen rock progreisvo
Ahora con un par de platillos stenteros de primer nivel
Del Cono Sur, tocaremos a los argentinos de ALAS y su album homonimo
De la frontera norte, sin duda el mas grande aporte que dieron los gabachos al progresivo, aprovechando que este mes nos visitan; KANSAS y su masterpiece LEFTOVERTURE.
Ya saben la mecanica, cada quien lleva su bebida y si quieren tocar algo mas, bienvenido.

DICE / THE FOUR RIDES OF THE APOCALYPSE
This symphonic album from Sweden, characterized by a complex suite, is one of the most underrated albums of late seventies, a great and important reference too, regarding some Swedish bands such as ANGLAGARD, SINKADUS and FLOWER KINGS. Naturally the focus is more on the instrumental passages than on the vocals, but the output is anyway excellent. The problem regarding the weak vocalist was quite important within their second album, dated 1978 and simply entitled "DICE"; instead the present first jewel, released on 1977 and issued on CD on 1992, except on a few prolix parts, is highly recommended.
BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME / COLORS
At first glance of listening to Between the Buried and Me all I thought was of another Death Metal band. I had to listen to this album for about a couple of weeks to understand the complexity, the incredible musicianship that these fellows offer. I honestly fell in love with their music. It’s incredible what these guys do. A mix between extreme metal and progressive rock, done in a very good way. At the beginning the songs don’t have that much of a very catchy rhythm but deep inside their songs there are some pretty good parts fit right into it. The first song (sort of an intro) its shows like a resume of how the album is. The rhythm changes a couple of times and it’s really good how it turns from a good side to a darker fast paced metal. The song that really caught my ear it has to be Ants in the Sky especially after the first 8 minutes when it say “Sleep on, fly away, in your mind you can fly”. After this particular part you can listen to Opeth like guitar part solo like. Also this song has a part that reminds me of Dream Theater Beyond this Life. As a matter as a fact many of the songs of Colors have “Dream Theaterish” parts and many sorts and different kinds of metal and rock. In overall the album is great but could have used less death grunts and more normal vocals, besides that I don’t have an issue with this album. I seriously have no words to describe this album, its fast, it’s mean and best of all it’s really good music. It really came to me as a surprise, since I’m not a big fan of death metal. Love what these guys can really do with the term good music. A 2007 master piece! burritounit

Sesion Progresiva Agosto'08
Ultimo jueves del mes y la acostumbrada sesion progresiva, esta vez dedicada a bandas hispanoparlantes. De la madre patria, CONTINUO RENACER, una fusion de jazz, metal, avant-garde, RIO muy buena. Y desde Chile, TRYO, de lo mejor del prog chileno.
Nos vemos el jueve, ya saben, cada quien lleva su bebida y si quieren llevar mas material para compartir... bienvenidos!!!
Coninuo Renacer - Continuo Renacer
Esto es Fusiòn y no pedazos!!
Esto es un Power Trio del Siglo XXI!!
Asì se toca chingada madre!!
Estos españolitos ya son bastante conocidos en la esfera progresiva mundial en base a su disco debut homònimo, pues vaya pedazo de Masterpiece que se mandaron a hacer!! Jamàs pensè hallar en España algo decente en cuanto a Progresivo se refiere, pero despuès de escuchar a October Equus (de quienes prontito viene su Post en el blog) me quedè con la espina de buscar màs de las tierras hispanas.
Jazz, Metal, RIO, Progresivo, Rock, todo elevado a la potencia de la mejor fusiòn que puedan hallar por estos dias. Es de verdad pasmosa la velocidad, sincronizaciòn y capacidad retentiva de estos jòvenes para tejer semejante laberinto de ritmos frenèticos y deliciosos.
No dejen de descargarse esta gema!! En este año sale el nuevo material de Continuo Renacer y desde ya lo espero ansioso.
CONTINUO RENACER - CONTINUO RENACER 2005.
Line-Up:
Arkaitz "Kako" Carrasco : Bass
Javier Guttiérez : Guitar
Imanol Aizpuru : Drums

Tryo - Patrimonio
Tryo’s third album is certainly a most valuable patrimony from Chile to the world of prog rock: “Patrimonio” shows a band that has already dealt with their influences in a constructive way, and finally conquered their own ultimate voice. The dose of sonic power in this album’s repertoire is not as directly overwhelming as in their impressive debut recording, yet it would be inaccurate to state that their sound is less strong or less energetic. On the contrary, their musical power is as astounding as always: only the threesome have grown wiser through the years, and this fact led them to incorporate a wider array of musical sources in a most coherent and skillful manner. As a living proof for this, the listener is first offered the four part suite ‘Valparaiso Patrimonio’ that kicks off the album: starting with a predominant jazz-pop mood in track 1, the next three combine the academic exquisiteness of chamber music and the special magic of Latin American folklore. Basically, the trio’s main intention here is explore more meticulously into their acoustic sensibility in order to polish their skill and finesse… and the result is unequivocal – they succeeded at that! More of this comes later in ‘Danza del Furor’, an incredibly delicate tour- de-force of cello, guitar and vibes. This somewhat softened attitude is soon abandoned in favor of the elaboration of density, tension and electric fire: ‘Camino’ is a brief ad-lib soundscape of guitar, bass and cymbals that serves as a prelude to the up tempo ambience of ‘Contrastes’, a compromise of hard rock and funky-driven jazz with a slight Crimsonian twist. It’s such a pity that this good piece is so short (it only lasts 2 minutes and a half, actually shorter than the previous number). But that’s not the problem with the following track, the much stronger ‘Recuadros’, which in my opinion stands out as the most brilliant gem in the album: this piece shows how well has the band’s renewed exquisiteness has served in order to allow the band develop their own prog voice regarding their electric facet. The same goes for ‘Estudio’ (again, so good and too short), ‘Justicia’, ‘Grietas’, and the Led Zep-esque concise closure aptly entitled ‘Epílogo’. Overall balance: an excellent prog rock repertoire split between the heat of rock, oiled by the clever dexterity of jazz, and the candid beauty of acoustic sensibility, seasoned by chamber stuff. “Patrimonio” must be enjoyed as what it is, a manifesto of artistic maturity, a maturity soon to be confirmed and enhanced in their following album “Dos Mundos” – but that’s another story…
