3 years has passed and now 10 more bands are on PA now.

I think that the mission of adding Czech Prog is so far successful.

it's Reportaż, with the polish ż not the czech ž .



I can care about polish bands. I need however to stay updated Big smile. But this shouldn't be a problem as I dig polish stuff for my playlists on iskc rock radio station (my show is every monday except the last of the month from 18:00 to 24:00 CET, see the prog radio section of PA for the link / I post my playlist 1 hour before the show).

Ah,size doesn't matter. I have been in Slovenia only once, but I was duly impressed. The country is the size of New Jersey, but there is no lack of most beautiful things - the majestic Alps with Triglav, the incredible Postojna Jama, and a stretch of Adriatic coast with the prettiest city called Piran --- Maybe, the Slovenian people are just too happy (you know, this stereotypical "sunny disposition") to do a lot of prog rock Smile

Yeah, unique letters. Interesting thing about linguistic stuff - you have so many exception of standart a-b-c-d-e-f-g-h ...

Anyway, getting all Polish Prog bands here would probably be much more difficult, than all Czech bands. And by all I mean most (all will probably be never possible). Poland is quite a big country.

Here's one from Romania that doesn't seem to be on the Archives: Florian din Transilvania
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8xbjWAg-dM

unlike other artists, there seems to be an extensive Wikipedia page on him:

^ Those two samples sound like New Wave.
 
 
Mircea Florian is one of the most particular Romanian musicians. His artistic ideas overpass the music field, inscribing themselves in phenomena like the “performance”, happenings or other avantguard movements. Starting as a folk musician, having even a few “well-behaved” songs, Florian starts little by little to draw further from the standard forms of expression. At the beginning this distance appears at lyric level, then the approach changes, in the end recording a clear break from what could be called conventional. With a passion for experimental music and constantly attracted by the noncomformist sphere, M. F. ends up totally displaying his point of view only within the Florian din Transilvania project.

Musician and multimedia artist Mircea Florian started his musical career as a folk singer, in the late 1960s. Soon, he developed a fusion between Romanian folklore and Eastern music, adding some Indian flavor on the recordings with the use of sitar (played by Ljubisa Ristic) and tabla played by Arif Djafri. Although psychedelic music was not well seen in ’70s Romania, M.F. (guitar, cobză, vocals etc.) - with several guest musicians - realized some remarkable recordings of psych-folk music. In the 80s, he began experimenting with electronics and started playing new wave music, with his band Florian din Transilvania.
