Salle Gaveau piqued my interest in modern tango, and I found a set of bands re-imagining tango, mostly in New York area and in South America, and a new huge set of Piazzola releases .. Not prog, but truly progressive.
Thanks for the note about The Hand Writing. I only have some of the more recent works by Rachel's like The Sea and the Bells which is great and Systems/Layers, which was disappointingly electronic.

Didn't see B'Snorkestra mentioned yet. They have an album out, but these are some live recordings:
Also, a band that I am very fond of, from Argentina, La Maquina Cinematica:
Very nice review of The Cellar And Point

Any time any one speaks to me about any musical project, the one absolute given is "it will not make big money". [tip of the hat to HK]
"Death to false 'support the scene' prog!"
please add 'imo' wherever you like, to avoid offending those easily offended.
There's another Argentinian band Karenautas, very good stuff

Thank you both! Very good stuff and I shall be downloading these very shortly. The Argentinians seem to have a very good grasp of melody. I was reminded in parts of the excellent Katzen Kapell , who although from Sweden are surely influenced by Argentinian music.

chamber rock??? Never heard of it. What is that then?
Well there plenty of examples above -I'd say it was the point where a modern classical chamber group and an instrumental rock group meet. This can vary from an acoustic group with drums to an electric group with guitars and keyboards but also violins and saxes. It encompasses many differing groups who are not following a genre but who have simply arrived in a similar place by combining different styles and instruments.

Try his first two albums "X-Tango" and "Plan".

Though these have been oop for a while, so might be little difficult to track down. If that is the case,
"Pagina De Buenos Aires" his first release on Nonsuch, would be a good alternative as it is a compilation from his early albums
(this may have few tracks that are otherwise unavailable. Haven't checked...) and have good chunk from these X-Tango albums.
Strangely Otero does not list the first X-Tango album on the discography at his site, so may be he is not happy with that one ?
A superb song-oriented (but not rock) chamber ensemble, with a dash of free improv' :
The New Songs - A nest at the junction of paths (Umlaut records, 2012)
https://soundcloud.com/eve-risser/je...un-pin-quartet
https://soundcloud.com/the-new-songs...-little-weight
This features outstanding pianist Eve Risser, and guitarist Kim Myhr (here with Jenny Hval and the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra : https://soundcloud.com/kimmyhr/ultim...myhr-trondheim).
This is so subtle you might not immediately notice that you like it.

I'm glad Third Ear Band are getting some appreciation here. Eery, pagan, very atmospheric music. Very underrated.Originally Posted by Scrotum Scissor
