I went with Banana, but this one is definitely not a strong pair.
 
Banana has some RPI reminescences. But unlike other bands who would fit that description, such as Galie, they don't appeal to me as much as the latter. I really can't explain why.
 
On the other hand, Equilibrio Vital seem to be a more exciting and technical band, but the vocals just ruin it for me.

I'm undecided this time.  Both have qualities I like, and both have qualities I don't like.

While Banana are good, they seem to stay on the same level without going out of their formula too much. Equilibrio Vital are simply awsome, they have some fiery guitar playing and a wild touch, which always does it for me. The sound is not good and the videos here sounds even worse, so there is a lot of good music lying underneath.

Equilibrio...

Equilibrio has some clear trippy psychedelic influences, with echoing vocals and fiery guitar that will remind you of Gong so Just to show you where they can go.

I liked Equilibrio Vital much more. Perhaps the one I have liked the best so far (except for Bacamarte, which I already knew and loved). They have much more energy than Banana, which sounded a bit interesting, but also rather sterile and didn't leave me wanting to hear more from them. I may just as well want to know some more of EV, and perhaps even get something from them. By the way, thaks Sagichim for the link you posted for us, some more interesting stuff from them... though completley strange on the vocal side (and some very early-Floyd-like keyboards).

One of the least active rounds on this tournament so far. I hope it doesn't become a tendency.
