He’s the bass player of OCTOPUS, but he also was part of AUSTRALIS, a Chilean project that included Braulio, ENTRACE’s guitarist and other musicians from different bands. Tracks 2 and 4 (‘Ganimedes’ & ‘Tribal’, respectively), belong to AUSTRALIS’ only album “TerrAustralis”. They called their style cyber-prog, which consisted of a mixture of hard-jazz rock, prog metal and spacey synth-based adornments, something like PLANET X-meets-OZRIC TENTACLES. 

There’s no other place in the Internet where you can find AUSTRALIS audio samples, but here’s a description from Musea (http://musea.musearecords.com/re_new_catselect.php?np=33366) and it’s already listed at ProgGnosis (http://www.silverdb.com/MUSIC_DBArtist.asp?txtArtistID=7200).   

I think AUSTRALIS would make an interesting entry for the Archives. Dom't you agree?

	Thanks, Cesar! I'll definitely listen to them, since they could be good HP material.

	Actually, even better...I'VE JUST FOUND OUT AN AUSTRALIS MYSPACE BLOG!!! Check http://www.myspace.com/australisciber - the first track 'Andromeda' is tight, solid and catchy, very accurate to capture the listener's full attention after the 2-minute intro. 'Andromeda' is something that Petrucci or macAlpine would have been proud of!! AUSTRALIS FOR THE ARCHIVES!!! Edited by Cesar Inca - December 12 2007 at 21:45

	Cesar.. great band and would love to add them but I can't find a band photo (and there's an Australian band called Terra Australis, the title of Australis' album, which probably doesn't help them)... let me know if you have a pic, otherwise I'll add them anyway thanks
