GUAPO - Black Oni (2005)

2008-03-08 00:28:33 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Guapo released yet another top-notch, red hot catalogue of modern zheul music: Black Oni. The family resembñance is clearly there, but this is no facsimile of the previous album. On the contrary, Guapo manages to keep its core essence intact while redefining it in a different performative strategy, one that relies more on subtlety and...

GUAPO - Elixirs (2008)

2008-09-14 12:26:50 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Guapo, and in that time a lot of interesting developments took place. First and foremost the band is once again a duo, now consisting of founder member David Smith on drums and percussion and Daniel OSullivan on keyboards, guitar and bass, although for live performances they expand to a quartet. There have been a number of related projects;...

...Guapos third full album since their dramatic musical change (you can read that as since OSullivan came into the group), and yet another important progression.. After the Crimson/Anekdotian feel of Five Suns, than the slightly Magma-esque post rock of Black Oni, youre in for another surprise here. Now reduced only to a duo, Smith (drums and...

GUAPO - Guapo vs. Magma (1998) [rated 4/5 by Cesar Inca]

2008-01-23 11:51:39 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...Guapo is, it is really hard to recommend a starting point for the curious uninitiated. The bands CDs pretty much reflect what the band is all about, although it is fair to say that they have managed to be varied all the way through their musical evolution. On the other hand, some EPs by them tend to show their most aggressive side, with...

GUAPO - Five Suns (2004)

2008-09-13 16:17:45 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Guapos maximum musical achievement, in my opinion. Five Suns is the album in which the guys of Guapo could decidedly assert that they had accomplished their own voice in contemporary avant-prog. The overall sound developed and crystallized in this album is an energetic confluence of Present-inspired RIO, zheul, modern Crimson, experimental...

EXPERIMENTAL INDIE ROCK : EL GUAPO

2008-02-28 05:43:29 by Stefan in MOODSWINGS music :
...GUAPO SUPER/SYSTEM (2002) 320 KBPS This is a band that does what they want, that doesn't care about song formats or predefined instrumentations and, yes, that is a good thing. I can't say that El Guapo is an easy listen with their wacky art-rock style but they will definitely appeal to some. They come from the home of Dischord Records,...

2008-03-25 14:21:20 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Guapo kept evolving and creating great avant-prog music, which ultimately was delivered in their 2008s album Elixirs. With a permanent guitar player and a new bassist on board, Guapo now reveals itself as an ensemble decided to explore predominantly subtle atmospheres and deceitfully relaxed. The post-rock element had been a nuance in Black...

...GUAPO music, I didn't like it that much, to be fairly honest, but when I' ve chanced to get Neurot Records' 'Elixirs', I hesitated for just few seconds, maybe, even less OK, now I may claim that 'Elixirs' is amazing, it's my Top-10 2008 release for sure, fresh and quirky, dark but not sinister, complex but sincere, mellow and melancholic,...

GUAPO - Twisted Stems (2006)

The Article has images
2008-03-10 12:58:27 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
Guapo is a bit of a Zeuhl/post-rock hybrid, with occasional delves into more avant-garde territory. This tiny EP is primarily comprised of slow, post-rock music. It's very delicate, very beautiful, and extremely haunting. It's experimental in nature; in the scope; in the timbre. Frail piano balances this, with its touching chords and melodies....
