Classic Dutch Prog & Neo Prog

RADAVIQUE      After that unpleasant lunar excursion, we're back down to earth with an obscure but rather more appealing Neo Prog band.

PUMPKIN      Too late for Halloween maybe, but you can enjoy this cool jazz album at any time of the year. 

PTS       Neo Prog band PTS are the perfect antidote to chillout to if you're suffering from PTS (Post-Traumatic Stress). 

PRISMA     One of three prog bands named Prisma, Dutch Prisma are an enigmatic Jazz-Rock outfit about which little is known, even by The Netherlands recondite standards of obscurity.  

PHILHELMON      If Rembrandt represented the Golden Age of Dutch Art, then Philhelmon are yet another representation of the Golden Age of Dutch Prog, which we're lucky enough to be currently living through, so Enjoy It While It Lasts. 

PEDAL POINT    Every once in a while, an album comes along that sounds like nothing you've ever heard before, and this is it! Just file it under "Progressive".  You don't have to be of a religious disposition to enjoy this devotional album, but it certainly helps. If you hear shades of Focus in the music of Pedal Point, then you won't be surprised to learn this one-off album features none other than Thijs Van Leer. And just in case you wondered, "Dona Nobis Pacem" is Latin for "Give Us Peace" - something worth remembering the next time I listen to a Death Metal album, which isn't very often. 

PAT COOL      Cool Jazz from the Netherlands and it doesn't come much cooler than Pat Cool, with a remarkable basso profundo singer by the name of Gé Titulaer, who sounds like a bizarre cross between Tom Jones and Scott Walker - and I have No Regrets in making that comparison. All I know is I like it, like it, Yes I do, and I hope you do too.

ORPHEO     A Heavy Prog crew with Echoes of Ayreon and blessed with the beautiful siren-song call of Wendelin Visser who no doubt would've lured sailors to their doom in Past Days to Come.
