Give me your top list of endgame prog artists

   I suppose my current "endgame" is simply exploring a lot of prog bands from places other than Europe and North America.  (I posted some lists over the summer of Middle Eastern, Asian, and African bands listed on PA). 
As a result: I recently purchased albums of FromUZ (Uzbekistan) and Oaksenham (Armenia): both great bands. And got a few samples from Indonesian and Chinese bands.

And just a couple nights ago, was re-listening to a sample track from Vazimba, one of only two bands listed on PA that are from sub-saharan Africa (besides South Africa, which has a few bands).  And I'm blown away!  Who knew that such amazing sound could come from, of all places, Madagascar??  So now I'm wondering where I can get this album (not on bandcamp where I usually go for most prog purchases these days).

	The title can relate to not just one litteral source, Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol, whos impact in surrealisme is impactfull. But also to another auther /dramatist in the surrealist genre, Samuell Beckett, with hes work Endgame, which also is a chess referance. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ok7Vc3jczNg Edited by Icarium - November 12 2022 at 13:16
