Hi, anyone listening to Ground Zero, maybe? I came across this album a few weeks ago
and it's truly insane and amazing!!! Big smileLOL What would you recommend from their discography?

I listened to the album, it's really good, dark and twisted, but nothing to do with RIO / avant-prog I think. Thanks for the discovery!

I have 'Plays Standards' - which is excellent.  ReR Megacorp have most of their titles.

I just got the latest CD from October Equus, live at R.I.O. festival 2014. I'm a bit of a fanboy, but it's really excellent. The lineup this time includes Luiz Rocha on bass clarinet and El Pricto (from Filthy Habits Ensemble) on alto sax and they really rip it up in places.
Wish I had been there!

Nice. I didn't even know they released that!
 
It'll be on my radar.

I think the first copies are just going out now. It's not on the October Xart Bandcamp yet, but Angel sent an email out asking for pre-orders a couple of months ago to fund a Siberian tour.

Nice. 

I'll def keep an eye out for it. I did notice it wasn't on the bandcamp though. But I suppose that could take time.

And nice! Can't imagine Siberia gets too many prog bands coming its way.

Yeah, I hope they cut another record. Moonberry is tops, there's a great flow to the album.

That's a real shame. Do you know if any other projects have emerged from the ashes?

Anyone got Guapo's latest, History of the Visitation? I'm quite disappointed by it. Not sure the new personnel has matched up to the previous incarnation.

That is indeed unfortunate.
Esp now that the avant-prog scene in Siberia is blossoming!

 

Moonberry is now slated to become (yet another) one off avant-prog classic.

Yeah, I too rank HOTV lower than any of the previous three. I much prefer the explosive power of Five Suns and that ilk, rather than this slow burn they presented on History....
 
There are things I like about it though...and it's by no means bad, but not more than a 3/5 to me right now.

It's never quite up to the standard of 5 Suns but then very little is, to me it's merely outstanding. The DVD makes it worth the buy regardless.

Yes - and it's an album that repays repeated and close listening. I have seen the current line up perform material from it twice and I think it's the strongest incarnation of Guapo yet; Five Suns may be their most immediate album, but subsequent albums are stronger in terms of composition and subtler in terms of performance.
