high praise Alan..Clap

give me one song.. one chance to convert me.. a proud ADD listener with a quick hook to the musical bullpen....which song do you pick?
My favourite is the last track "Carousel" however "Fridge Full of Star" may be more immediate. It took me a while to get into this album before it hooked me completely, so you need to give it a few listens Micky.


patience I have in spades.. if it is interesting LOLThumbs Up  Thanks Alan, I'll check it out this evening.

I freaking agree! I have no idea why they aren't playing every single jam band fest in the United States all summer and blowing every other band there out of the water... because they would OWN it.
That I'd believe!

checked out these guys. Great stuff! Got some Cardiacs vibes from them as well. Ordered their album "Cleaning the Filth...", as well as the Encenathrakh album you mentioned in the Tech Metal thread the other day. Thanks for the recs, man! Thumbs Up

Yea no problem! Happy to always share... and holy cow you bought that encenathrakh album??? Oh god... so ridiculous... but amazing anyway haha

Great album.

thanks to Raff and SteveG, I may revisit Clannad in prog folk.  I'm not sure they were ever formally proposed, but their influence on prog acts alone should qualify them as prog related, even though I rarely push for such a watered down inclusion Tongue

prog folk is just full of bands like this, but I guess prog folk suffers from the same problems with respect to other forms of prog that folk music does in relation to other forms of popular music.  I try to review as many of these artists as I can just so they can have ONE review so people can know something of them....

here are a couple of my favorites...



Thanks for the cool vids, Ken. How about a couple of video posts from Clannad, as they're both English old timey and prog?

well, Irish...there's a difference!
It's hard for me to post about Clannad here because
1) they are not on PA
2) they should be based on a series of albums in the mid 80s -  geez any group that became proggy in the 80s should get some credit!  So it bothers me when I see some of the bands in prog folk while Clannad sits on the sidelines largely because of their new agey reputation, which was somewhat deserved after they starting emulating Enya (initially they influenced her)
3) they are actually very well known, although I suppose they should be better known in prog circles

so here is a favorite....


 









OMG, did I say English? My wife will kill me if she sees this. I saw the band in Ireland in the eighties and they were great. I know they are not listed in PA or I would have reviewed some of their eighties albums. And they're prog to me. (the eighties albums). Wink

Ramses actually is in more than one band. His current main gig, Luz de Riada, should have appeared at last year's ProgDay, but there were problems with the visas (unfortunately all too frequent for bands that want to perform in the US), and they had to pull out. This other project is called Pascal Gutman Trio, and here's some info from the ProgDay site: http://progday.net/Bands-PascalGutmanTrio.html

Thanks Raff - you're wonderful!

These two names are going on my to-get-list. 
Big fan of Cabezas here too...no scratch that I'm huge fan! I have all their albums plus one live album, all are incredible except for Hermanded, their last one which didn't include their wind instrument player, seems like the reason why it wasn't successful.

But yeah I'll have to check out Ramses too.

They are in Eclectic, which in my view suits their music. While they often have a folky vibe going on, they also have edgier, almost Avant elements to their sound.

Edit: Ninja'd by Ken himselfWink! Anyway, regarding Clannad (which I like quite a bit), I am in agreement with you, Ken. When we saw Iona at NEARfest in 2010, I could not help noticing the similarities between them and Clannad - which other prog sites (such as DPRP) have often covered, new-age or not. I would be in favour of adding them, but then I am not a member of your team.
