The second Clog Prog Blog album and the Focus is on the first solo album from Jan Akkerman.

Nice idea, this Clog Prog Blog. With Shocking Blue and Tax Free included, this blog goes a bit outside the borders of PA. To make it complete, let me introduce you to Machine, a band which released only one album (their previous moniker, Swinging Soul Machine, excluded), in 1970: a nice Star

release. I tried to get this band included here (in Crossover or Eclectic), some 10 years ago, but they were rejected. Maybe they fit better in Heavy or Prog Related.

The 4th track, starting at 10:45, has the most beautiful intro ever (imho).

Thanks for posting that...I love those 'proto prog' bands that fall between the cracks back in the day...just when I think I have heard them all.....'someone else' turns me onto another one. Wink

We're racing out of the starting gate now in a purple haze of smoke with the one and only spacey album from Ahora Mazda - the highest deity in Zoroastrianism, for anyone who wants to know.

Okay, I finally found the 52nd Dutch prog artist I've been looking for - Jack Lancaster & Rick van der Linden (Symphonic Prog) - so I'm no longer one card short of a full deck, although some may disagree.

Come on, you've done Rick Wakeman. Look on Phrozenlight as your next challenge!

That's a challenge too far. Phrozenlight has so many albums that he deserves a YouTube channel all of his own, although he probably already has one.

I won't be attempting a Buckethead challenge either. Tongue

I was thinking of including Thijs Van Leer of Focus in the list, but his solo works are all classical music albums from what I've heard so far.

I just need one more artist suggestion now for my Classic Clog Prog Blog to make it a full deck of 52 artists. Smile

On the subject of Tax Free, I'm guessing the only reason they're not on ProgArchives already is because no one's ever suggested them for inclusion. It's one of my all-time favourite albums, featuring the free-spirited Dutch singer Wally Tax, hence the bandname, Tax Free. Smile

^ Thanks for the great suggestion. Thumbs Up

Machine's one-off Heavy Prog album really had me tapping my clogs along to the driving beat and I've now tagged Machine onto the end of my list. All being well, I should have my Clog Prog channel set up on YouTube sometime tomorrow, when I can begin by adding the one and only album by Ahora Mazda, which sounds more like a racy sports car than a band name.
