El Reloj (Second) |
1976 |
Record Runner |
|
Frenetic and intense guitar prog. This is their second and last album.
For fans of Crucis. I am also reminded of some 70's Italian bands
like Balletto di Bronzo and Semiramis because of the punch that the
guitar sends. Turn the volume up to 11!

Unusual progressive with an orchestral musical backdrop and
expressive female vocals. Very good and unique. Mixes of classical,
jazz, and soundtrack like elements, and of course, progressive
rock.

1977 |
Microfon |
|
This is the band that Charly Garcia formed after Sui Generis split.
This is their second of 2 albums. It is a very good laid back
symphonic progressive album with layers of guitars, keyboards, and
pleasant vocals. The music is kind of funky, and as with all Garcia
bands, there is a pop sensibility.

1973 |
Microfon |
|
Basically a folk rock duo of Charly Garcia and Carlos Alberto Mestre.
The band is filled out by other musicians of the Argentinian rock
scene like Billy Bond. This is their second of 3 albums. The music
is basically centered around the vocal harmonies of Garcia and
Mestre. I am reminded of Barclay James Harvest at times.

A very good symphonic prog album that too my ears sounds highly
influenced by U.K at times. The music is mostly instrumental with
very good musical development. Keyboards are the main instrument,
but, the excellent guitar shines through as well. A highly
recommended accessible progressive album.

Pleasant folky progressive with cello, flute and harmonica in addition to
the usual rock instruments. Most of the album is very mellow, but,
it picks up often with some excellent soaring guitar leads. A
nice thoughtful album. Mostly acoustic.
