^ Showing there's still much for me yet to discover (or proving my ignorance) in the vast progosphere, I only know three artists on your list, Grumpy, and you can probably guess which three they are by now. Smile

Solaris (Hungary)
Blue Effect (Czech Republic)

And I only know three of your choices and few of the others provided. So much great music to discover, so little time.

Hi,

Sadistic Mika Band (Japan) tie with Ryuichi Sakamoto (Japan)
Aphrodite's Child (Greece)
Ange (France) tie with Magma (France)
Tangerine Dream (Germany) tie with Klaus Schulze (Germany)
Banco Del Muttuo Soccorso (Italy)
Kayak (Netherlands)
Zbigniew Preisner (Poland)
Egberto Gismonti (Brazil)
Terje Rypdal (Norway)
The Doors (USA) tie with Jefferson Airplane (USA) and tie with Frank Zappa (USA)
Granada (Spain)
Incredible String Band (UK)
Gordon Lightfoot (Canada) 
Gong (Multi National-Australia)

I would have liked to add more, but my memory is not co-operating ... and in some cases, I do not know exactly which country they come from ... I just love to listen to it, regardless ... although some "mixes" are just too far out and too good to not be appreciated.
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Oops! I did not notice that it should exclude your home country. I'm Canadian. Corrected.

Nice topic.

Just doing band names in PA (even if the first sounds like the artist name). Paul, I hope you make one specifically for artist names too

Anna Sjalv Tredje (Sweden)
Area (Italy)
Art Zoyd (France)
Bubu (Argentina)
Can (Germany)
Cardiacs (England)
Cos (Belgium)
Dead Can Dance (Australia)
Geinoh Yamashirogumi (Japan)
Swans (US)

{Were I to do one from Canada, where I reside, then I would do Godspeed You! Black Emperor. And if planets, then Kobaia and Gong...}

Could only narrow it down to eleven mentions without feeling bad. Not in order:

Aksak Maboul (Belgium)
Area (Italy)
Can (Germany)
Genesis (UK)
Tigran Hamasyan (Armenia)
Kairon;IRSE! (Finland)
Mats/Morgan Band (Sweden)
Jean-Luc Ponty (France)
Return To Forever (USA)
Tipographica (Japan)
Uboa (Australia)

If only bands are allowed, then I suppose I could subtract Hamasyan and replace Ponty with Magma.

^ I  Love your long-awaited sequel! Heart Another powerhouse performance and a towering achievement of Heavy Prog, reaching even higher than Mount Olympus. Smile

5 stars 2021: Forbidden Myth - Zantea Chronicles: The Dream Dominator - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaBU4nHamOnWwcRWn5vOWeV-H2dmxxL_E
5 stars 2024: Forbidden Myth - Zantea Chronicles: The Nightmare Awakens - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaBU4nHamOnVd4uRJByBSLcZGOnSBPYGP

A few years back, Aphrodite's Child would've been my number one choice of favourite Greek bands, but that was before I was blown away by the thunderous sound of The Dream Dominator - the kind of melodic Heavy Prog  album that Dream Theater could only dream of making. Clap
