Review: Abrete Gandul - Enjambre Sismico (2011, Fading/AltrOck)

A seismic cluster of musical notes...

Recommendation: Naikaku - Shell (2006, Musea)

Shell is the second album by Naikaku, a Japanese band, whose origins are in the duo of Satoshi Kobayashi and Kazumi Suzuki, who formed the band in 1998. Expanding into a 6-piece band, they released their first album Wheel Of Fortune in 2003 and Shell in 2006. You can read more biographical details here.

Recommendation: Oberon's Parabola (Aaron Parks)

I came across this drummer called Aaron Parks through a project called Oberon's Parabola, but apparently that's not the only group he's in, as you can see here.
