How did I miss that. LOL  That part does sound kind of Metamorfosi-esque (who, in turn, sound an awful lot like Banco). Wink

The band/artist is on this site right?


Some people find joy in knowledge. Some people find joy in ignorance. Some people just enjoy music.

Yup. All the names, including the answer to the final anagram, are all listed on PA.

I'm sorry but I'm still recovering from the seizure your signature gave me. Tongue
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I really don't have a clue about those that haven't been "spotted".
I thought I recognised one or two, but I can't put my finger on who they are.

Allllllllllllllllllrighty... I'm going to have to think hard about how to point people in the right directions without just giving it away. These are a mixture of straight-forward information and more cryptic references to names and albums.

Clip 1 - A quirky Japanese group, perfect for evening listening.
Clip 2 - American RIO/Avant-prog. [Can't think of a cryptic hint that won't just spell it out, sorry!]
Clip 5 - Classic jazz-tinged Dutch prog... Everything will become clear when you get this one.
Clip 6 - Symphonic prog from Sweden. I don't MIND them, but they're not my favourites.
Clip 8 - An unclassifable English band which forever remains close to my heart.
Clip 11 - Obscure early English prog - for budding archivists and mellotron fans only!

Clip 1 - Koenjihyakkei... sounded sort of similar

I couldn't really get any of them, tbh.

A valiant attempt, but incorrect, I'm afraid. Koenjihyakkei are a cracking band though. Who knows, if ever I do another of these they may well feature!

Now we have:

I hope the voice isn't throwing you too much. If you knew the track it'd be instantly recognisable, I reckon. The band's music is largely instrumental, so don't think too much about that voice. Concentrate on the second part of the clue - a bit of googling would soon see you right!

BINGO! ClapClap

Still no closer with our Japanese friends, though. OOIOO they ain't.

**OMFIN*HE*

A couple more and I bet someone will be able to guess the band, even without all the letters.
