    Cool thread. Much to explore!
    Hired on to work for Mr. Bill Cox, a-fixin' lawn mowers and what-not, since 1964.

    Any of you know The Devil's Breakfast ?
    A line up of Carlo Nicolau of Nazca
    After leaving Nazca Carlo moved to New York in 1988 and formed The Devil's Breakfast, Carlo Nicolau (Nazca - Mexico)Keith Macksoud (Present ), Fred Klatz (Drummer's Collective and numerous other groups), Carlos Vivanco, Elliott
    Levin, and Joel Trieger, as well as Gloria Tropp. another prog-rock band performing in many NY venues including monthly sold out shows at the Knitting Factory.
    They recorded a yet unreleased studio album that has some strong flavors of Nazca Univers Zero mixed with downtown type of jazz influence
    Good stuff too bad it never got released

    love the 2 Nazcas... has Arturo Meza been mentioned?
    Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?

    I bought a bunch of Mexican prog LPs back in the 90s, but it's not really my thing. I recently sold Decibel, NAZCA, Chac Mool, and Grupo Nuevo Mexico on eBay. Still available:
    Via Lactea, La Caja, High Fidelity Orchestra, Mandragora(2), Nirgal Vallis, Nobilis Factum, Musicante(2), Jorge Reyes, Iconoclasta, Alux Nahual

    Jim, your link takes me to the items I'm watching in my eBay.

    Jim, your link goes to "My eBay" page (and logically takes me to my eBay rather than your listings).

    As for Mexican prog, I second the Ledesma recommendation - haven't heard much but all I had was very good to excellent. For a slightly more traditional sound check out Flught's first LP from the early 1980s - they have some very curious symphonic thing going on there, with a strangely minimalist attitude (totally unlike the big-5 symph), very few comparisons I can think of would be Wapassou or the first Pierrot Lunaire album. Also, High Fidelity Orchestra have been mentioned, so I just have to push their criminally underrated, obscure second album, "My Girl", which is basically a 12" EP, with a running time of 20 minutes or so. It hasn't been reissued, but still can be bought for cheap. Four killer tunes with crazy wailing voices atop a weird avant / new wave mix, there's nothing else quite like that.

    It´s really good a la Univers Zero, Zoyd, Crimson, Zappa ... dark, heavy, hyper with its own personality.
    I's rather liken it to Ruins in that Erehia essentially was a duo working with bass/electrified cello and drums/perc in a stop/start dynamic that recalls "brutal prog" and bands such as The Flying Luttenbachers and Grand Ulena. But Erehia definitely had their very own sound. I believe their CD is way gone though.

    When I was in Mexico last yeat Sean M. (see thread on Electronic Meditation) did the DJ fill-in thing and played a whole show on Mexican Prog. He played

    Cast, Iconoclasta, High Fidelity Orchestra, Caja de Pandora, Nobilis Factum, Galie, Sol & Deneb, Ledesma / Botello, Nirgal Vallis, Flüght

    All very worthy bands

    The show is actually still available for streaming at :

    http://cod.ckcufm.com/programs/112/11190.html

    I'll add that if you liked the José Luis Fernández Ledesma Q then the already mentioned Nirgal Vallis may also fall in your wheelhouse, as it were, being a previous band. Excellent release

    Here's the whole Y murió la tarde LP

    It did, back in the 90s.
