Also, The Gift, a new symphonic prog band from England, have also been added.  Thanks to Erik Neuteboom for suggesting them and thanks to the Symphonic Prog team for adding them (again Geck0 wrote the bio and added the album).

Their album must be really good,because you added it three times!!!!!


     

Nice job on the Rainbow addition Raffaella.Quite a bit of work to add the albums though.

I can help with the additions, of course... I've got their first four albums on CD, and at least one of the compilations.

I can help: Ritchie Blackmore / guitar & vocals

Just a note: anyone interesting in purchasing Memoriance's albums can get them from Greg Walker at Syn-phonic.

I also agree Assaf about their debut Et Apres.  It's very much an underrated album and deserves to be heard.  It is routed in symphonic prog, but offers so much more.  I may well have to order their second album sometime.

I will be absent most of the time during the next 2 weeks, but I will try to keep this thread updated.

Two additions:
The first is Pyramid which I suggested to Philippe who added them under Kraut.

Bio:
Gorgeous German acid rock project. The obscure and underrated “Dawn Defender” is constantly mysterious, abstract and experimental, delivering interlocking electronic soundscapes punctuated by electric guitar manipulations and echoing effects. The album was originally released Tony Robinson for Pyramid label. A serious “kosmische” krautrock manifestation, a perfect & strange dreamy-like musical journey throw ultra psych textures. Pretty closed to the Cosmic Jokers (first) and A.R & the machines.


The second addition is currently in the wrong genre. Our team (Zeuhl/Avant/RIO - ZART) has considered them and concluded they are more in the krautrock/psych spirit, and even electronic prog. They will be moved soon.
It is the French group called Flamen Dialis. Very spacey, electronic, psychedelic album they have in Symptome Dei.

Formed by keyboardist/drummer Didier Le Gallic, Flamen Dialis explores structured, abstract electronic patterns combined with "collage" sounds, acoustic elements (cello, flute…) and a theatrical sense of composition. There's a constant use of diverse vintage synth equipments. Published in 1978, "Symptone-Dei" is a reference in avant rock improvisations with electronic sounds. This band is sometimes compared to a "cosmic" version of Magma with lot of Mellotrons.

I added the French band Pataphonie to RIO/Avant prog.

Their 1978 release Le Matin Blanc is a gem for those of you looking for chamber rock, fusion and an experimental band looking to create new sounds.

The Aurora Project has been added in PRog-Metal:

I'm working on DISEN GAGE bio to finally add them here.

I'll post it if I ever do find it though. At the moment the only band from it that comes to mind is the Doors. I really feel they should be on here. I'd say they would fit in under either prog related or proto prog. If Led Zeppelin can be on here I think it's only right that the Doors be included too.

This post belongs in Suggest New Bands/Artists,there is actually an existing Doors thread there.

This is not a thread to suggest who you would like to see included in the archives.
