	When you say progressive rock, does the book included jazz rock fusion? If so, any focus on Swiss drummer/percussionist Peter Giger, though more known in jazz circles, made some great jazz rock music in the seventies with "Dzyan". Edited by presdoug - March 19 2022 at 07:14

	Is there a good mention (as in lengthy) of the band Circus (from Basel/Bâle)? (since the label Zytglogge reissued the vinyls recently) I always thought Asbjornsesen short-handed Switzerland and Austria between Cosmic Dreams and Scented Garden Edited by Sean Trane - March 19 2022 at 13:18
	let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword

	Of course Peter Giger is mentioned. There is a big portrait of Düde Dürst, the drummer of Krokodil. Also, there is a chapter of Circus. Edited by DaleHauskins - April 02 2022 at 05:10
