Art Rock magazine is also the host of Si-Wan records, which
recently has reissued many Italian and Spanish prog rarities on
CD and LP. These include Tarantula, Los Canarios, Crack, Bloque,
Picchio Dal Pozzo, Alphataurus, Celeste, and many many more.
Art Rock magazine has covered italian progressive rock scene in
detail through 4 issues. All articles are written in Korean.
I have just received a copy of issue 7 of Art Rock and am very
impressed. Unfortunately, I don't read Korean but this is a really
amazing magazine. The issue I have is huge (200+ pages), with
hundreds of photos of album sleeves (most in full colour). This
issue is a `British Rock Special' with histories and discographies
of Yes, ELP, Gentle Giant, Van der Graaf Generator etc. There's also
hundreds of reviews, rare concert photos, an article on Roger Dean's
art with loads of full colour pictures, articles on famous British
labels (Harvest etc.). It even has sections on progressive Jazz
anf Classical. All in all, quite the best prog magazine I've seen
... such a shame you don't get this sort of thing over here. Highly
recommended, especially if you speak Korean ... actually, it's
almost learning it just to read this!
