OK guys, Polyphony has been accepted, I onnly have three votes with the one by HT (Still James hasn't voted) but anyway with 3 votes there is majority.
They will be added to Symphonic.
Please Ozzy, tell us if you want to make the bio or you can send us the info to do it.
Thanks
Iván

The only biography about Polyphony I've seen here: http://www.geocities.com/glennpalmerhoward/PWI.html I think that it would be enough to copy this into PA.

No way Ozzy, as a team we have never copied or admitted a copied biography. As a fact we re-wrote at least 50 biographies because were copied from another site.
Prog Archives is the lead site inhe net and if we want to keep it like that, we MUST write our own stuff.
We can start the research, but it would help us a lot if you who have inducted the band and obviously know them better than us, gave an opinion about their music, influiuences and why they should be added, we will manage to find the dates and other biographic data.
If not possible, we will manage to do it by our own.
Thanks
Iván

Ivan is perfectly right in this respect. We can use an already existing bio as a starting point in order to get the relevant info, especially when we don't know the band - however, we should try to use our own words as much as possible. We don't need a novel, just something that has at least some measure of originality. Far too many sites copy and paste other people's work (there is a thread about that in the Report Abuse section) without even crediting the authors.

Ok, now I understand.
BTW, I remind another band, this time krautrock one called "Deaf". They made only one album in 1972 called "Alpha". Here you can find some information: http://wc01.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=&sql=10:0zfqxq80ldae

Hey Ozzy Tom, how goes it?
Spectrum was one of those Australian bands I was getting the old "round to it" happening with, as well as The Master's Apprentices, Tamam Shud, Kahvas Jute, Ariel, Coloured Balls, Tully and Lobby Loyde.
I think the new heavy prog sub-genre suits TMA, Kahvas Jute, Coloured Balls & Lobby Loyde with their sort of blues meets head music leanings. Ariel and Tamam Shud are probably crossover. As for Tully, I am not really sure as I just can't get hold of any of their music without having to mortgage the house to buy an LP (except the OST to the Australian version of Hair featuring Tully + 4, which I have a copy of on the way).
Catch you in the ether!
Cheers,
T.Rox  |
T-Rox, Are you "officially" suggesting these bands for addition: The Master's Apprentice Tamam Shud Kahvas Jute Ariel Coloured Balls Tully Lobby Loyde ? We need a positive "Yes" in order to take them into account. And if yes, can you prepare the submission materials? Thanks

I've found something by Kahvas Jute, and will be submitting it to the attention of my HP partner as soon as possible. We have already added two bands that were suggested in this section (Bodkin and Elonkorjuu), and are looking forward to new additions... Just remember, though, that there are only two of us for the time being!

As suggested by Ghost Rider via PM I have started a thread specifically for these (and a couple of other) Aussie bands!

hey Coops.. if you aren't careful you might get some sort of half-baked tag like 'Australian Prog Specialist' 
thinking about adding a 3rd member to the Xover team for the time in
the distant future that Dean and I disagree on something hahahha.
We do have a fine line we walk and the more opinions.. the better.

Hey. Anyone know this one?
Hanuman & Lied Des Teufels (Post Murphy Blend)
Albums:
Hanuman - Germany (1971)
Lied Des Teufels - Germany (1973)
Lied Des Teufels
Previously known as Hanuman and Murphy Blend. They changed name after leader Wolf-Rüdiger Uhlig left, naming themseives after the closing track on the Hanuman album. Lied Des Teufels (in English "Songs of the Devil") made a much more aggressive politico-German rock, stylistically between Out Of Focus, Floh De Cologne and Ton Steine Scherben, , being all the more theatrical and offbeat on their second album.

Gustavo Montesano, bassist and singer from the Argentine prog band Crucis. He had this neat symphonic rock album in late 77 that, I'd say, warrants his inclusion somewhere in the archives.

pffff... have more fun... join the PA's villainy and scum
fraternity... the women are hotter and sin.. is so more more fun
than doing good.
by the way.. Andu... in your postion as PA's superluminary... maybe you
can put in bug in the admins ear that the addition process is broken
most, not from the submitters... but in the fact we have posters who
submit bands.. and never hear what happened to them. Some process needs
to be installed where people can see the process .. or at least the
resuts from ALL the subgenres. They don't have access to collab
areas where we do our dirty work and shady back room deals.

I'm starting to check him personally.
Whenever you have some Symphonic band, please PM me, HT, Bob or James.

I see very hard to add Gustavo Montesano for several reasons at least to Symphonic:
- We don’t add albums to a genre, we add bands, and Gustavo Montesano has released:
- Homenaje: Jazz/Symphonic fusion
- Fanttasía Flamenca: Strictly an Ethnic album (mostly Tango) mixed with Classical Music, it’s sold by Amazon Germany as Classical.
- Tango Adagio Remixes; As it’s name clearly indicates, it’s a Dance remix album
- Soul & Soil: Instrumental New Age
- His albums are almost impossible to findd
- Hs site says nothing about his music
Probably the best option would be to add HOMENAJE to Various Artists, because that's what it is, this album is played by Crucis, Charly García, Pedro Aznar, Nito Mestre, Maria Rosa Yorio and Alfredo Toth.
I will have no problem if homenaje was a Symphonic albbuim, but it isn't exclusively, and the rest of his career is not remotely Prog.
I recommend Fantasía Sinfónica, it's outstanding but not Prog.
Cheers
Iván

If "Homenaje" somehow gets to be placed anywhere on the archives, I'll be happy. It certainly deserves a spot here, after all.

I don't know about "specialist"!
There is an "Australian prog sound" from the late 60's / early 70's that seems to be a strange blend of prog influences, coupled with blues and heavy rock influences that interests me. It is usually more guitar-based than keyboards. I didn't really cotton on to it when I would have had easy access to the LP's in the mid to late 70's because I was getting into the usual overseas artists (from an Australian perspective) like Genesis, Yes, Tull, The Who, Focus, Heep, Zeppelin, Purple and so on. This really important Australian music legacy managed to pass me by as it was fairly well off the mainstream and as the oldest in my family (13-years old when most of these bands had been and gone) I had no older influences to direct me to them. Thankfully Aztec Music (soon to be re-issuing Spectrum's Milesago album) and other companies (Vicious Sloth Records is one I can think of) are doing some good work on re-issues. And it would appear that Warner Music, who bought out the iconic Australian record company Festival Mushroom Records, may be starting to look at some re-issues of the amazing back catalogue it inherited as evidenced by the recent Split Enz remasters issues. Fingers crossed for more excellent re-issues from what ever source they may come!
