''Gattch was one of the most progressive bands on Slovak and quite possibly even European scene. Founded in 1969 and disbanded five years later, they produced only one full-lenght record. Compared to Dezo Ursiny, Collegium Musicum or King Crimson, their sound is quite original, progressive, with musical links to classical composers.''

Do 'The Stanley' otherwise I'll thrash you with some rhubarb.

I recommend Iconoclasta's 1987 "Soliloquio" album (which includes the 1987 "Suite Mexicana" EP). Its excellent prog that manages to combine moments of airy guitar, precolumbian interludes and rollicking instrumental work.The title track boasts some great jazzy  moments among the general complex rock. The vocals aren't the main attraction, though. Also, on the EP tracks, the electric guitar's take on a certain well-known Mexican rhythm is simultaneously exciting and enthralling.

Check out new Spanish progrock band Neverness (great work on guitar and keyboards and dynamic compositions) and new Italian band Obscura (wonderful blend of classical and symphonic with lots of Mellotron, sensitive electric guitar and warm Italian vocals) Thumbs%20Up

From their website:
"

Karcius

Karcius is an instrumental group aiming at playing a mix of progressive rock and fusion jazz music. Four instrumentalists created the band at spring 2001: Dominique Blouin on bass, Thomas Brodeur on drums, Simon L’Espérance on guitars and Mingan Sauriol on keyboards. The group objective is to develop different musical ideas and explore styles to generate a surprising and diversified music. The improvisation and written music stand side by side generating a unique and particular musical concept. Karcius invites you in its universe of rhythms, colours, images, emotions and ambiances.

 

"

 
Label (there are many other great bands on this label, just go expore):
 
Their first album Sphere is very good. I'll quote here a review from sinkadotentree (john davie) who writes great reviews here in PA:

KARCIUS — Sphere

Review by sinkadotentree (john davie)
PROG REVIEWER

4%20stars 4.5 stars.These guys from Montreal are amazing!This music is often on the heavy side,which i like,yet there is some good variety here,including lighter jazz passages. Things get started with "Kunide" opening with intricate acoustic guitar with background synths.Drums,guitar and keys come in to provide an interesting,tasteful soundscape that intensifies.The melody changes again with heavy bass and drums with some great guitar as well."Liquid Meat" is a crunchy,heavy song with intricate drumming and a great bass solo.The guitar is so good,man these guys would be incredible to see live!"Evolution" opens with a good bass line, with a great guitar melody that comes and goes.There is this amazing,searing guitar solo as well.The next section is called "Lunatik" and consists of the next three songs,starting with "Highway To the Moon".It opens with bass and percussion as synths,guitar and drums create a wonderful sound.Nice bass solo 3 minutes in!There is some piano, light drums and a relaxing guitar melody to follow."Synapse" is an uptempo song with drums and guitar,before the bass and guitar trade solos, until the lead guitar comes in with some scorching melodies."Back To Earth" goes from a light and jazzy sound to a dark and heavy sound.Some more amazing guitar too,as the drums pound away."1111" is dominated with piano melodies,with drums and guitar providing different moods and tempos along the way."Labyrinthe" features the bass outfront again,as RUSH comes to mind in this well crafted tune."Bois Ta Musique" is a lighter,jazzy song that eventually speeds up with some scorching guitar."Absolute Decadence" is quite mellow until about 2 and a half minutes in when the guitar is on fire again!The tempo continues to change in this fantastic song. This is a must have for fusion fans,you won't be disappointed.

Karcius has recently become one of my absolute favourites. Their second album Kaleidoscope reveals the band's turn toward a more jazz-fusion style and walking away from Dream Theater-like images, which, in my opinion, is a great move. Highly reccommend!

Phlox from Tallinn Estonia
Great heavy fusion, with a tinge of Zeuhl. Well worth being included in PA.

Koenjihyakkei - Nivraym
or
Koenjihyakkei - Angher Shisspa

AMAZING zeuhl-influenced band with technical proficiency far beyond most.  very riff-based written in almost exclusively odd meters.
fantastic stuff.

Martyr - Their most recent "Feeding the abscess" is insanely technical and includes a piece in four movements. Not to mention a cover of one of Voivod's most progressive songs "Brain Scan". High quality recording on this release.  There previous album "Warp Zone" was also very technical, but the latest tkes it to a whole new level.
 
The media links are broken on their site. Check their MySpace page for audio samples
 
 
 
They will be added to the archives soon.
