PRISMA X ~ INSTANTES NOT ON LABEL ~ CHILE ~ Jazz-Rock Fusion Recorded: 2005 - 2006 Released: 2006 1st album by young Chilean Fusion band Prisma XFind albums by this artist, an instrumental quintet fronted by two lead guitarists Felipe MoroniFind albums by this artist and José Tomás MujicaFind albums by this artist, with Mauricio NaderFind albums by this artist on keyboards, Carlos MartínezFind albums by this artist on bass and Eduardo MoroniFind albums by this artist on drums. The band plays a stunning set of beautifully melodic guitar oriented Fusion, with both guitarists displaying their talent and sensitivity to the outmost. Although the music is original and well constructed, stylistically the music brings fond memories of the best work by Allan HoldsworthFind albums by this artist and Joe SatrianiFind albums by this artist. The overall effect is pretty astounding, as one does not expect to hear such up-to-date sound and musical approach coming from outside the music centers of the world, but apparently geography has nothing to do with it. Those young Chileans prove beyond any reasonable doubt that music knows no boundaries and talent is omnipresent on this planet. This album is a heaven on earth for all guitar freaks and Fusion heads. Considering how hard it is to find anything decent in these areas lately, this is a breath of fresh air an absolute must. Highly recommended!
