There's "prog rock section" in HMV Kobe, Japan. I can't find the corner in another shop. Ah, of course, in Tokyo are some progressive rock shops. |

Mixup in Mexico has a "progresivo" section, quite small indeed but at least is usefull if you're looking for the most popular progressive groups. |

On web shopping it's slightly difficult for me to buy some CDs without intention, but in CD store I can...  |

It'S quite surprising to hear that the japanese music stores have problems with clasification and that is hard to find prog records. From what I knew , loads of argentinian bands like Crucis and Redd were remastered in japan. |

I'm from El Salvador, and I know of only one progressive band, "OVNI". You can check their catalog through psymphonic, Greg Walker's music shop. Check it out at http://synphonic.8m.com/

89 bands from Spain are listed here, although some others are missing.
http://www.progarchives.com/Bands-country.asp?country=207 Although I´m not really familiar with many of them, there are very interesting bands worth to be discovered From the classics I would reccommend: Triana: first two records ("El Patio" is an absolute masterpiece) Imán: short discography but very interesting all of them Iceberg: also in the jazz rock realm, "Sentiments" and "Arc en Ciel" are probably their best records Companyia Elèctrica Dharma: the kings of jazz-folk-fussion, they have a huge discography, some of their records not really interesting for prog lovers, but "L´oucomballa" or "Diumenge" are at the higher level, less folky and really jazz rock Atila: another of the top bands, in the typical keyboard driven sound. I had the great pleasure to see them live, and Benet Nogue is a master on the instruments From modern bands, I´d reccommend: Difícil Equilibrio: "Trayecto", their best record Alquilbencil: "From Serengethi to Taklamakan", very fresh record Kozmic Muffin: "Nautilus" is one of the best psych albums ever made in Spain Manta Ray: "Esperanza" and "Pequeñas puertas que se abren y pequeñas puertas que se cierran" are in the post rock realm, very innivative and with lots of electronics Schwarz: "Hard Listening" is something like an experimental psych album, hard to classify, but a very remarkable record. "Play Christian Rock" is a short EP Muzak: a really young band from Barcelona, their music is inspired by psych, krautrock and improvisation (if someone is interested, their records can be free downloaded at http://trastienda.org/author/muzak/) Check this forum for more specific infos; I found it really interesting http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41724 |

I love prog from spain, i would recommend also: Alameda: Same Azahar: Same Canarios: Ciclos Crack: Si todo hiciera crack (beautiful album) Eduardo Bort:Same Gotic: Escenes Granada: Valle del pas Gualberto: Vericuetos Guadalquivir: Same (great flamenco/jazz album) Ibio: Cuevas de altamira Iceberg:Coses nostres (i like this more than Arc en ciel) La Banda: Rockmeria (folk rock with a celtic flavour) Mezquita: Recuerdos de mi tierra (great album!) |

From Spain TRIANA was fantastic in the 70's, mixing KING CRIMSON-like music and flamenco. Nowadays, dare I say AMAROK?. More folk-prog than anything else, but very interesting nontheless |

I am from Genoa, Italy. My hometown seems to have been one of the main Italian prog hotbeds both in the 70s with bands like New Trolls, Nuova Idea, Delirium, Garybaldi, Picchio dal Pozzo, Osage Tribe, Duello Madre and from the 90s on mainly thanks to Fabio Zuffanti's hyperactivity (Finisterre, Hostsonaten, Maschera di cera...). I should also mention my friend (and great musician!) Fabio Casanova, listed in the archives as a member of Malombra and Sad Minstrel (actually, he IS the Sad Minstrel!)

I haven't studied the whole thread yet but in case they haven't been mentioned yet: Gerard is a great Japanese progrock band. In case you don't know them I can only advise: check them out !
My favourite native bands are Mangrove, Sun Caged, Knight Area, Timelock, Odyssice, Trace, Trion and Like Wendy.
