A-Z of East European Prog

AFION    When I first joined Prog Archives three and a half years ago, if anyone had told me back then that I'd be listening to Macedonian folk music here one day, I would've said "You're surely 'aving me on.," but stranger things have happened since then, and so, without further ado, I present to you, Prog Folk band Afion, from the Croatian capital of Zagreb, where there's a flourishing Macedonian folk scene, apparently. Smile

AESTHESYS    Aesthetics concerns the principles and appreciation of beauty, and if you're in the mood for some soothing post-communist Post-Rock, then look no further than the aptly-named Russian band Aesthesys, and listen to them make beautiful music together. Hug

A-Z of East European Prog

AERODROM    A Pop/Rock band from the former Yugoslavia before it was Balkanised in the early 1990's. Aerodrom failed to take off in the rest of Europe but they're notable for featuring Yugoslavia's answer to Bob Geldof..... "Just give us your _______ money!" Disapprove

3 stars 2019: Jurica Padem & Aerodrom - Dnevni Rituali - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nv9CNt3WxXPwcZSAK85uUKxAAEzsV9bXw

THE ADEKAEM    If you've already dipped your toes into Polish Neo Prog down by the Riverside, then why not take a dive into the deep end with The Adekaem? This Polish band are led by keyboard player and vocalist Andrzej Bielas and most of the other band members have unpronounceable names too, but don't let that put you off as all of the lyrics are in English and their three superb albums are all well-Polished performances, and that's no Lie! Ermm

ACTUAL MUSIC QUARTET RSM   A classically-trained foursome from Russia who make what they call "actual music", but here at Prog Archives, we call it Post-Rock. Not a bad album if you ignore the unlistenable fourth track, which is somewhat challenging for my conservative tastes. Ouch

A-Z of East European Prog

ABSURDCUS   An Eclectic Prog band from Romania who put the "Q" in quirky, but thankfully, the lyrics are all in English - the international language of prog (and air traffic control). The Heavy Prog first album sounds like The Outlet for the band to release all of their pent-up frustrations, but their second album is a complete Post-Rock contrast, sounding like A Drop of Calm in a turbulent topographic ocean. Absurdcus reach a "T" junction with their third album, which is different again from their first two albums. It's all really quite absurd. Confused

That album is not cheesy or easy, it's not poppy or an easy listening album.

ABRAXAS   Not a Santana tribute band. No, this band are Poles apart from the sound of Santana as they're actually a Neo Prog band from the unpronounceable town of Bydgoszcz in Poland. If you've ever wondered what an "abraxas" is (no, me neither), it's an ancient charm that's believed to have magical powers.  This band certainly have the power to charm and they're as tasty as Polish cheese. Beware though, because only one Abraxas album has English lyrics, and there are no prizes for guessing which album that is.  Wink

417.3   Tune in to the sound of 417.3 for the latest in post-communist Post-Rock. 417.3 are from the city of Rostov-on-Don in southern Russia where Moscow Rules don't apply, so no need to beware of spies, lies and naked thighs. Smile


The Moscow Rules

1. Assume nothing.
2. Never go against your gut instinct.
3. Everyone is potentially under opposition control.
4. Do not look back; you are never completely alone.
5. Go with the flow, blend in.
6. Vary your pattern and stay within your cover.
7. Lull them into a sense of complacency.
8. Do not harass the opposition.
9. Pick the time and place for action.
10. Keep your options open. Wink

7 OCEAN   You're unlikely to find this Symphonic Prog band sailing the seven seas as they're from the landlocked country of Belarus (formerly Belo-Russia). Smile
