No problem, I saw it when it popped into place.

Hey Tim - don't be alarmed by me hiding your post. I deliberately used a link seeing as it's a full album upload, and we have a thing against full albums embedded on PA (copyrights issues). They're ok for evaluation purposes, but we rather prefer if one links to the album over the general board Smile

It is however a great album!

No, but they're the bee's knees as well. I love love love UFO Planante Thumbs Up

(so does John the Mellotron Approve

)

No the Invisible I'm referring to is the Argentinean band spearheaded by vocalist and guitarist extraordinaire Luis Alberto Spinetta.

Ain't that the truth Clap

I know a lot of South American bands, including some very obscure ones, but they all seem to have at least a few scattered reviews under their belt.

A band like Invisible fx deserves far more attention than what they get imo.......but yeah, I'm diverting the topic which isn't my intention.

I was hoping for a little more productive discussion about SA bands. This is not a blog. Surely somebody knows a SA band w/o a review??

Now that we've gotten that out of the way let's get back on track and onto the unreviewed music of South America.

Hi,

Dean ... grow up!

You didn't create the world! For you it doesn't exist, and by mentioning these things is how you think it makes you more worldly than anyone else!

You have no respect whatsoever for foreigners and what they have seen and not seen, or experienced.

When you wake up from your slumber, you can stop being a cangaceiro of the minds and ideas of the world!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Hopefully we can move forward in this thread. Anyone can post a band to the thread if they are South American with no reviews. We can discuss the bands. We can disagree about the bands merits. We can be adults when we post, a little respect goes a long way.

Thanks for listening to something you feel might be bad.

i cleaned up my quote ... you didn't. And yours is actually not nice at all and because of it I will NOT bother reviewing the 2 bands I was looking forward to doing ... simply because your act is so full of sh*t.

I have, forever, talked about the Brazilian scene, way back to the 60's as being very progressive, even though the mix of "cancao, bossa nova and jazz" is not something that folks here in PA (specially) are capable of understanding, or even bother listening to. I've considered talking about Airto and Flora Purim, Milton Nascimiento, and others more in this place, but it is difficult, because folks here are so damn stuck on crap and a "style", that they have lost the ability to even bother listening to anything else.

I have never, found a band from South America (specially!!!) that I have not enjoyed ... but of course, you wouldn't know that and would not even read this far to be man enough to apologize! I will only review these things on my own time in my own place. PA doesn't deserve it when folks like you say things like that ... and perhaps you should look up the definition of the word cangaceiro ... before you say something to understand what I said!

It's not often I read a post that makes me incandescently angry, but this is one of those times.

Your crassly arrogant generalisations and your uniquely piss-poor ignorance of the people here would be pitiful if it didn't display such a narrow-minded self-aggrandisement of your own value and worth. Climb off that soap-box, sit down, shut up and give your arse a chance.

"folks around here" ... would like you to stfu.

You are not the only member of this forum with South American roots, there are people here who not only hail from that continent, they still live and work there, we have collaborators from practically every country in South America. We even have ex-Admin from Brazil who has more knowledge in his little finger than you have managed to display in all the years you've been posting here. He worked tirelessly and studiously evaluating artists and adding bands, biographies and discographies to this site in several different subgenres while you sat on your backside spouting gibberish, berating the site and belittling its contributors, reviewers and forum posters. But all that is irrelevant to you isn't it? You'd much rather pontificate and rant because it makes you feel important and clever.

For your information we have 144 Brazilian bands listed here, and a further 150 from Argentina, 77 from Chile, 8 from Colombia, 23 from Peru... in fact as far as I recall the only one of the 12 countries that are considered to be part of South America that is not represented here by a Prog or Related artist is Suriname (which is the smallest country with smallest population, so that's not a complete surprise). Strange as it may seem, we managed to find all those bands without your help and without your encyclopaedic knowledge. Perhaps you can bugger-off and find a Surinamese band to suggest. So how many appreciation threads have you started for all these South American bands? And how many of the albums by those bands have your reviewed?

You made a stupid comment and committed an unforgivable sin: you pre-judged a book by its cover by commenting on the band's name before you'd even heard a single note of their music. Poor show, bad Pedro.

To paraphrase a well known idiom: Those than can, do; those that can't, preach.

I think you have out-stayed your welcome here, perhaps it's time you found another play-ground to go play in.

Pedro: would you please tone it down? Mr Leary's comment did not deserve such a response. He thanked you for listening to something you feel might be bad. If that ruffles your feathers, then I suggest you write him a mail instead of hijacking his thread.

I actually referred the band Cangaceiro for inclusion here at PA. I am well acquainted with the definition. Your post is not what I am looking for in this thread. If you have something constructive and meaningful to add then by all means post away. Otherwise, dummy up.
