Sounds Like	Next concerts /Próximos conciertos: Portugal-Gouveia 10 Oct.:: go Progfest 2009 Radiografía del Rock Experimental II Recomendamos este excelente trabajo de Sergio Guillen y Andrés Puente. ¡¡Una visión completa y muy exhaustiva!! Con "Radiografía del Rock Experimental" se iniciaba un ilustrativo paseo por las carreras de las principales formaciones del Rock de vanguardia a lo largo de cinco décadas diferentes. De la necesidad de cubrir un mayor espectro de artistas y del deseo de ampliar, si cabe, los horizontes musicales del lector y aficionado, surge esta segunda parte subtitulada con la proposición "Del Underground Artístico al Progresivo Innovador". Así, la obra toma el testigo justo donde lo dejó la primera parte, deteniéndose en todo un nuevo universo de grupos y artistas del más diverso pelaje. Pioneros de la psicodelia como The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Doors o The Pretty Things van transmutando la música Rock a medida que pasan las páginas dejando como herencia conjuntos fundamentales en el devenir del género progresivo como Argent, Magma o Blood, Sweat & Tears, hasta llegar a luminarias contemporáneas como Kotebel, A.C.T, Therion, Riverside, Senogul o Glass Hammer, por citar unos pocos. Más de 900 reseñas de 262 artistas diferentes a lo largo de 41 años. Análisis detallados de más de 90 obras destacadas del género. Ilustrado con 492 portadas de discos. Índice alfabético de 3.200 entradas y 6.400 referencias. Complementado con una selección de entrevistas y catálogo de ediciones en DVD.

About Kotebel

Kotebel, founded in 1999, was conceived as a long-term project with the aim to serve as a vehicle for the development of a musical proposal that could be described as Art Music:

* An artistic expression not subject to commercial considerations
* A structured approach to the development of thematic material
* An eclectic language with a strive to integrate different musical genres, resources, instruments

In short, elaborate music that appeals to the mind and the spirit.

Kotebel’s music also shares a number of characteristics with other contemporary artistical expressions currently labelled as Neo-Barroque:

* A highly creative, hybrid cultural expression
* An aesthetics and ideology of inclusion
* A tendency towards expansion, creating ambiguity in the frontier between pieces
* A desire to evoke states of transcendence

Kotebel has published five albums:

- Structures ( January 2000) – Distributed world-wide by the French label Musea
- Mysticae Visiones (December 2001) – Manufactured and distributed world-wide by the French label Musea
- Fragments of Light (September 2003) – Manufactured and distributed world-wide by the French label Musea
- Omphalos (June 2006) – Distributed world-wide by Musea and The Orchard.
- And our latest album:

Omphalos

Nº 1 in 2006 Top 20 albums in Progressor.net (Vitaly Menshikov)

"Editors Choice 2006" at Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock

Nominated for "Best Album 2006" at ProgAwards

Fragments of Light

"...All in all, this is a highly intelligent, well thought out album and should interest many fans of complex symphonic rock. Kotebel appear to be intent on exploring and extending the boundaries of their chosen genre, and are definitely a band to watch out for." Dave Sissons - DPRP.net

Mysticae Visiones

"..I found this to be one of the best CD's I've heard so far this year (it was released so late in 2001 that it's almost a 2002 album), and I think this is an essential CD for anyone enjoying symphonic prog or romantic classical music.". Fred Trafton – Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock

Structures

"this is a hell of a debut album, arguably lacking a bit of the sonic power that Kotebel has nowadays, yet incarnating the multiple sources that take place in Plaza's musical vision. "Structures" is a must of current progressive rock". César Inca. ProgArchives
