HI PROG FRIENDS, THIS IS CÉSAR INCA.
There is this very good Chilean called FLOTANTE. Its Myspace blog is at http://www.myspace.com/flotante - www.myspace.com/flotante
It's an instrumental guitar-based quartet whose sound fluidly mixes influences from King Crimson, jazz-rock and Don Caballero. They've already released two albums, tha second one at the end of 2006
Their style is somewhat close to Exsimio. I think we should pay them real attention and include them in the Archives as soon as possible.
Kind regards.

While the art rock experts begin to take care of this excellent Chilean band, check this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyzDfI3nR-A - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyzDfI3nR-A It's of 'El Desayuno del Oso', a track from their second album "En la Agitación".
Kind regards.

I've PM'd some specialists about this Chilean band, FLOTANTE. This one and DEFÓRMICA are the two South American bands that I'm listening the most these last weeks (together with Supay and Flor de Loto due to their recent sophomore albums). FLOTANTE IS A REAL PA WORTHY ITEM!!
Anyone agreeing? Kind regards.

We ask for patience, Cesar. The Art Rock Team has checked Flotant, they just wanna check up with another Team about some flavors and moments the album has or tends; if no, it will go into Art Rock. -------------

Cesar, it is surely a great effort and talent in them (now I've heard better, but I think they're OK, don't know how high is your enthusiasm  ), they have music for PA, it just that they've mixed themselves into two possible styles.The appreciation is on-going. -------------

Hey, Cesar. I think the old Art Rock Team once suggested Flotante for Post-Rock, but that team never finished to appreciate and vote on it.  But we have now a new Team for Heavy Prog (we'll it's not that new, only good ol' David and good ol' Raffaella ), so they can check again Flotante, maybe even add it.Sorry for the inconvenience, Flotante are to be very soon checked. And even added, cause I remember they are progressive.  --- P.S.: By the way, Cesar, do you know anything new about PILFAKA? I know we agreed for them to be added in Art Rock, but they haven't released any album so far. You told me that they will have their debut in late 2007, so that's why I'm wondering.... -------------

HEAVY PROG THAT IS!!

Kind regards.

Oh, my Mexican friends from PILFAKA. Recently they've had some trouble with their lead guitarist, so they hired a new one, added a couple of tracks brought in by this new guy, and the album's completion will happen anytime soon. Their Myspace blog is still active, and according to the bassist Pável, their sound is pretty much the same as in their demo but with a more polished sound production.
When the time comes, they will make an excellent addition into the Haevy Prog area from Latin America.
Kind regards.

Hello Cesar, Deformica were added to Heavy Prog a few weeks ago, and I did the addition myself. We'd be very happy to add Flotante as well.. I'll put a link to this thread in our own team thread, and hopefully we'll be able to add them soon. |

Yes, I know - I wrote a review on Defórmica's album a few days ago.
