Some great guesswork here. From the titles that I have right now, you reached a 66% score!

Okay first of all i'm shocked your going to give five 5 star reviews. You don't give them out easily.
So lets go with:
Banco Lo Sono Nato Libero
Alphataurus' self titled
Museo Rosenbach Zarathustra
Nuova Era Il Passo Del Soldato
Il Balletto Di Bronzo YS

"Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN

Actually I'm sitting on no less then 15 drafts for 5stars reviews at this very moment, Yes, I write even more reviews then what I publish  Great guess-work by the way, I have all of these titles (as you very well knew you cheater  ) and 3 of them are in my 5star list for this week!

Very hard to respond here without disclosing everything! There's one I haven't listened to enough yet, 2 I've already rated, and you have the remaining 3 exactly right  I'll post one review each day starting tomorrow. They will all feature plenty of my usual opinionated objectivity and anecdotal chatter

^ Oh you tease.

 Why must my spell-checker continually underline the word "prog"?

Oh sure you call me a cheater when Finnforest gave 6 albums instead of 5. So does the winner get Belgium chocolate or a case of Belgium beer?

I just listened to Campo Di Marte's "Concerto Zero", released in 2003.
It's great.
If you think Campo Di Marte was a one-shot band you definitely need to check this one out... it's recorded live with two of the original band members (guitarist Enrico Rosa and drummer Sarti)
It features reworkings of the 1973 compositions with other mellower, folk tunes composed by band leader Enrico Rosa with his wife, the flautist..... great variety and excellent playing on this album.
My favourite track is "Quarto Tempo", which here is actually better than in the original album IMHO.
It has a more modern sound, with a long and eleaborated guitar solo after a classical organ solo with stingy guitar notes on the background.
The recording quality is excellent and, since this album was recorded in a small venue the overall sound is warm and the atmosphere is informal.
I still have to listen the other disc, with live recordings of 1972.

Oooh, Deus Ex is wild stuff! And Pandora is a favorite around this thread. Will have to look up Asgard, I don't remember that one.

^^ Nice suggestions! I love Deus Ex Machina and La Maschera di Cera. Pandora is great too. A Piedi Nudi is very good, and I think Asgard is pretty good too. I haven't been able to get into Garden Wall, but I'm not a huge metal fan.
Divae is tragically overlooked, and becoming very scarce as it's now out of print.

Garden Wall have done metal music in their latests cds, but Path of Dreams and Seduction of Madness are less metal.

^ That's good to know. I have Forget the Colours and had abandoned them with that. But maybe I'll investigate one of the two you mentioned.

Hey Todd! GARDEN WALL is off the wall if you ask me.Crazy and technical.I have a lot their stuff and it's not easy listening music by a long shot. For those with high tolerance levels.  All of his suggestions are well worth checkong out.ASGARD was under Neo-Prog don't know if it still is but the particular album he mentions is really good.The rest doesn't click with me though.

The winner can become our 5th or something new prime minister in 3 years for all we care. You hardly have to do anything but shaking hands with the Obama's and Sarkozy's of this world and there's free beer and fries and chocolates aplenty!

Hey John! So rdtprog recommended Path of Dreams or Seduction of Madness as perhaps more to my taste than Forget the Colours. You know my taste pretty well--do you have a recommendation?
Also, when you said the rest doesn't click with you, did you mean the other Asgard albums? Because my recollection is you really like Deus, right?

I guess GARDEN WALL's earlier ones are more Heavy Prog than Prog-Metal but still complex with difficult vocals.By difficult i mean rough and theatrical. I'd be surprised if you liked those albums Todd.
Yes i was talking about ASGARD's albums not clicking with me especially the debut. I do like the one album they put out though.Arkana i think it's called.
Sorry for not checking back on this thread sooner Todd.

So do you have to be a Belgian citizen? I don't speak any of their official languages but i'm sure that's not an issue.
