A few days ago I posted Chinese and Indian Prog. Artists. Now here's Southeast Asian Prog n' related bands. Again, sorted by Sub-genre. Please comment on any of the bands you've heard and like, or any that may be missing. The most notable thing to me is how Indonesian bands dominate, and how few bands from Thailand and Malaysia there are.

I liked Discus and SimakDialog, and I really like Guruh Gipsy.  There is a Phlox I have liked very much, but it is from Estonia. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

The two that stand out for me are Dewa Budjana and Phlox. I only have the one Budjana album Mahandini but what an album. Has that Indian themed cover and the bass player is Indian. I have several of the Phlox albums and love them all. Challenging music, Jazz based. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I really enjoyed ZeitGeistS' EP that came out last year. They sort of have a Black Sabbath meets early King Crimson sound. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

So I was curious about how the early 70's Prog in Indonesia sounded, so I got some samples from Sharkmove and Giant Step. Good stuff! Its obviously heavily influenced by European/American Rock: probably the Beatles and some of the early prog bands (Genesis, Yes, KC, etc.) I probably wouldn't call Giant Step 'heavy prog' though. ------------- Z |

Dewa Budjana is one of the finest fusion musicians today. Tohpati, also an Indonesian fusion guitarist, not listed, is superb. Musically similar to Dewa.

The music of the proposed bands is unknown to me and at least 75% of the names are discoveries. Th only ones I have are Dewa Budjan works ( excellent fusion) |

The Indonesian Guru Gypsy's album is quite a bit of Southeast Asian classic, and I find it to be great stuff. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |
