They will be evaluated by us as soon as possible. Now Micky is listening to Banco, and don't want to tell him to take the CD off. Anyway, I posted the link in the HP team thread, so when Jared gets back online he can have a listen if he wants to.

They have a page on a website dedicated to Uruguayan music:

However, I don't think there is any music to be heard there, and without any samples we cannot really evaluate them.

Support the sugesstion i also have samples that i can send.

Found Psiglo-Ideacion & II through some music blogs. Ideacion would be (IMO) borderline proto-prog if it had come out in 1968. Really nothing to draw a progger except for the B3, and two songs that will have you thinking that Uriah Heep's Easy Livin is about to play.
Psiglo II ... the last three songs are proggish - No Tiene Razon de ser is a somewhat poppish song that sounds like Meddle era Floyd. El Juglar Y Yo, and Gil 1038 are more proggy, but Gil 1038's attraction is its' Santana like influence.
The one part that will draw kneejerk support will be the occasional flute passages.
HP is not my team, but if Psiglo had enjoyed the same success as Klaatu or Angel, we'd face major opposition to their inclusion based on Ideacion & Psiglo II. As a matter of fact, if you take these 2 Psiglo LPs, and then the aforementioned groups first two releases, Psiglo comes out sounding dated, and with less prog credentials.
As for the link to the Uruguyan music scene, I don't read spanish, but I didn't see any word that seemed to indicate their music being called progressive, although there seems to have been a political bent to their career.
If needed, I can find the links for sharing, and would appreciate in return a summary of their bio in English.
