I'm familiar with most of the Finnish bands in the archives, plus some that aren't here. I'm not a patriot/nationalist in the least, but I've always been interested in checking out stuff from my own country. Our library system pretty much carries all of them, so it's not all that troublesome. At least if I find something good, I'll get a chance to see them live (probably).

BTW, My favorite Japanese bands are Natsumen, Machine & the Synergetic Nuts, Salle Gaveau and Envy. Fantastic stuff! Clap

The only Antarctican band to date is The Flying Penguins

This is their NYC "station:
www.myspace.com/flyingpenguinentertainment 

Since they have very few shows it is pretty rare to spot them and here's a gig from their latest your here in the country:
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1257244/flying_penguins_on_bbc_documentary/
Wait until the end of the clip for their major performance.

They're awesome, no?

Let's have a look at Poland...
The most famous prog & innovative 60-70's: Czesław Niemen, Skaldowie, SBB.
80's - hmmm, Collage and... and...
90's and 00's: quite a lot of good or even superb new bands - Quidam, Riverside, Satellite, Indukti, Abraxas, Albion, Osada Vida, After.
But something I can't explain: they are COMPLETELYShocked absent in Polish media...

Hmm, Finland... Well, I certainly do not know many prog-bands coming from Finland. CMX is some kinda prog, I think and it's also my fave band from Finland, then there's Kingston Wall which is apparently prog too, haven't heard much from them, really... Kuolleet Intiaanit is just some manic prog-stuff, maybe a little bit too manic to me. A little bit like CMX's B-sides taken beyond the level of all comprehension, seriously. And then theres Kuha., which is maybe not so much for me but some may dig it, much.

From the early 80's among the more known prog bands from Mexico were Chac Mool(before their pop side)and Iconoclasta, there were also some more RIO influenced bands like Decibel, Nazca and then Banda Elastica.

Recently there have been some new good prog groups like Cabezas de cera, La pura realidad (already disbanded?) and Saena (Jose Luis Fernandez Ledesma newer project) as well as some RIO oriented like Ensamble dentro de la nada.

Last month Jorge Reyes died (age 57), he was a former of Nuevo Mexico and Chac Mool among others before became a solo artist, fussioning electronic music with prehispanic instruments and who was one of the most influential figures in the prog movement since the 70's.

In the Netherlands one of the first prog bands was Ekseption.

From about 1970 onwards, more prog rock bands appeared here: Brainbox, Supersister, Earth & Fire. The Golden Earrings stripped the 's' from their name and went on in a more progressive direction during the first half of the 70's.

Not long after Alquin (1972) and Kayak (1973) appeared, among others.
