ALBUM

I start the New Year with the addition of a classic Italian Prog
album, something always welcome on my site:

Le Orme - "Elementi"

Italian Prog band Le Orme were one of the most important
representatives of the genre in the early 1970s and recorded several
classic albums, which are considered some of the best to come out of
this country...

Today's addition is another Italian Prog album, by another legendary
band:

Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso - "Nudo (Acustico)"

Italian Prog band Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso were one of the pillars of
the genre in the early 1970s and recorded several classic albums,
which are considered some of the best to come out of this country...

Today's addition is another album by the legendary Italian Prog band
Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso:

Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso - "Nudo (Live In Tokyo 97)"

By mid-1990s the Italian Prog giants Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso were
firmly back into Prog with new albums and extensive touring activity,
to the delight of the fans. This album documents some of the band's...

Today's addition is one more album by the legendary Italian Prog band
Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso:

Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso - "En Concierto: May 28, 1999 Mexico City"

By the end of 1990s the Italian Prog giants Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso
were back into Prog with full swing. This live album demonstrates just
how great the band still is after all these years. The material
includes their entire career, going back as far as their debut album
and up to their latest (at that time) releases. The 1980s material
gets here an up-to-date Prog treatment, so basically this is a win /
win situation any way one looks at this. The instrumental work is as
brilliant as always, with the keyboards setting the tone and the
dramatic vocals sending a chill down your spine. For the many fans of
the band this is a must and for people who are not familiar with the
band (not that this is possible?) this is a great introduction. The
sound quality is also superb. Grab it!

Today's addition is an album by the excellent Mexican Prog band
Iconoclasta:

Iconoclasta - "Soliloquio (Expanded Edition)"

3rd album by Mexican Prog band Iconoclasta led by composer, guitarist
and keyboards player Ricardo Moreno. In addition to the leader the
band also includes a second guitar player and a second keyboards...

ALBUM

Today's addition is another album by the excellent Mexican Prog band
Iconoclasta:

Iconoclasta - "En Concierto: Teatro De La Ciudad"

6th album by Mexican Prog band Iconoclasta and their first release
recorded live. Led by composer and keyboards player Ricardo Moreno the
group went through some personnel changes in the late 1980s, as well
as moving away from the Symphonic Prog, that dominated their early
output, towards instrumental Prog / Fusion. The double lead guitar
front and powerful keyboards by the leader, supported by an excellent
rhythm section, create some really hot Fusion moments, which would
delight any fan of the genre. The instrumental skills of all the
players are quite amazing and the power, energy and interplay on this
live recording are truly inspired. Most warmly recommended to Prog /
Fusion fans.

Today's addition is yet another Prog album from Mexico:

Cronico - "Delirium Room"

1st album by a new Mexican Prog band Cronico, which consists of four
male instrumentalists and a female vocalist, something that is always
welcome in Prog. The album includes four instrumental and six...

Today's addition is a great album from Cuba, a country with such a
wonderful music tradition:

Sintesis - "En Busca De Una Nueva Flor"

1st album by the Cuban group Sintesis. Although the country is well
known for its wonderful contributions in music (Jazz, Jazz-Rock, Afro-
Cuban Music), there is little evidence about Prog activity in...

ALBUM

Today's addition is another very interesting album from Mexico:

0.720 Aleacion - "0.720 Aleacion"

Only album by Mexican band 0.720 Aleacion, an acoustic quintet playing
a very unique Fusion of Mexican folklore and Jazz. Using violin,
flute, guitar, bass and drums, as well as a plethora of ethnic
instruments, they create a magic amalgam, which works wonderfully. The
album includes 17 short tracks, all quite different from one another,
with quirky rhythms and strange melodies, intertwined with jazzy
improvisations. The overall effect is strange and surprising, often
sounding avant-gardish one moment and folksy the next. Definitely
worth investigating for fans of unusual music. This CD reissue of the
original album includes music recorded as soundtrack to a video
production.

ALBUM

Today's addition is a great Fusion album from Mexico:

El Templo Del Dinero - "El Templo Del Dinero"

1st album by Mexican power Fusion trio El Templo Del Dinero, which is
definitely one of the most original and striking Fusion albums
recorded in this country. Using the usual guitar-bass-drums
instrumentation the group manages to create some intense and very
imaginative music here. The guitarist (Victor Mendez R.) is a true
virtuoso on his instrument and the rhythm section provides him with a
superbly crafted support with pulsating and powerful bass and
intelligent drums pyrotechnics. The music is absolutely great, with no
dull moments whatsoever. Fusion fans will drool over this beauty!
