Argentinian band Ícaro

Got this band on AwesomeProg charts.

Thank you Greg!

I've suggested Ícaro for fusion, to no response yet, here:

Hi,

This is a really nice and soft listen ... and not quite trying hard to use lyrics to make itself meaningful.

The music, by "progressive rock" terms is softer and might even be considered "Easy Listening" but that would be too simple by comparison, but an attempt to say something that fits somewhere in the middle ... and finally ... FOR ME ... no thrashing of a guitar or a bad drummer counting numbers when a metronome would be better and calling it "progrock" !!!

Very nice stuff ... listening to the whole album! Already got through everything through Mono. And will continue on ... and on ... and likely have to do so a 2nd time! Listening to it as a whole album, seems to make it even better, and by the time you get into Mono, the timing and decisions for the guitar and the rest of the music is excellent, and well defined. The album is full of those moments, though I have my doubts that the "prog" folks will stick to it ... regardless, it is excellent music!

I was wondering if this would be better served in JMA instead of here, though not as many chances to be heard and seen as here!

I think I listened to this way too many times ... bandcamp now gives me the signup thing and won't let me pass ... oh well, so much for the nice example, and ability to listen to it ... I imagine that one day, the chance to hear anything will be gone because of commercial interests ... to the sad refrains from the bands that will not have a chance ... and we will never hear them. 1984 is alive and well and continues to dominate!
