I'd like to discover some progressive music with non-english lyrics.
The reason of this is becouse I'm very much intrested in languages in
that way that I enjoy the sound of many languages. But if you can recoment me something in the English language that you believe I'd like I'd be happy for that aswell, of course! Aswell as instrumental bands. Anything that should be in my boat, so to say. :) Etherway, in the progressive scene, I like the following bands: Dream Theater Liquid Tension Experiment Ayreon The Mars Volta Banco del Mutuo Soccorso Circus Maximus Fantômas Flower Kings Frank Zappa Il Balletto Di Bronzo Jethro Tull Mezquita Opeth I also enjoy bands like Amon Düül II but I feel bad to put them up on that list, since I have heard so little from them. But ether way, all the above and a nice amount of others, but this should be able to give you an idea of my style. Well I'm really open to a wide spectral of music, that is. :) Or so I hope. :/ |

Magma Amon Düül and Amon Düül 2 sing German at times, also the British Amon Düül. Guru Guru also occasionally have German lyrics (some examples are on "Hey Du!" and "Mani in Germani"). a multilingual example of singing can be heard on Christian Boulé's 2nd album "Non-Fiction" in the track "Viva da New Sound" (English, French, German, Japonese, some African languages, just don't ask me which) -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

Mago De Oz is highly recommended. Download 'Finisterra' and be amazed. The lyrics are in Spanish and they sound really good even though I have no clue what they mean norbert88 |

MAGO DE OZ's latest studio album "Gaia" is also excellent. Check out the MP3 of the title track in the Archives. Another one worth trying: Brazilian group APOCALYPSE's 2003 album "Refúgio". All lyrics are in Portuguese. An excellent album in my opinion. Check out the MP3 of the title track in the Archives. (Treat the 2005 EP with care, though: the group has a new singer and style. The new guy sings in English and sounds more classic rock than Prog Rock, and the group's new songs are much less Proggy than on earlier albums).

I found a nice german-singing Kraut-rock band using this site: GÄA. I got their 1st ablum which I found good, and I'll order their second album as soon as I got more cash. Nobody hasn't reviewed any of their ablums yet!  I'll have to try work out something for their 1st LP during the weekend.

I'd recommend 'Harmonium' (sang in French- the band is from Canada) Try, and listen to 'Si on avait besoin d'une 5ième Saison'.

| If you're looking for good lyrics in italian try "Fabrizio De Andrè + PFM In concerto"... This allbum live marks the meeting between one of the most influent italian singer-songwriters with one of the most influent italian progressive bands... PFM in this album arranged some of De Andrè's best songs giving them a new life... a masterpiece! |

Hm, I don't listen to prog with non-English vocals that often, but I have the cd Les Nouveaux Mondes by the French Art Rock group Nemo and that one is truly recommendable I think ------------- Interested in my reviews?

for the Italian ones some great choices. love the PFM album, and Felona e Sorona is a fabulous album. Have sent Sospesi Nell 'Incredible to some friends, both proggies and non, and have gotten 100% glowing feedback on it. Great song great album. do need to check out Ange though, one that has slipped through the cracks for me. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |
