   Wetton/Manzanera-1987.remember?.....i don't have such an open mind and curiosity like you to embrace new artists.You seem to know so many, many..you are amazing!

Me, i was ecstatic  when ABWH CD came out and was waiting for a new Hawkwind!
I know , i know , i am living in the past, and unable to follow the winds of change

But patience always pays: i discover and loved Depeche Mode in the 90s...just need to take my sweet time

	Having witnessed the "arid " progressive 80s when very little prog was going on anywhere, the main artists that supplied any kind of vibe was Ultravox, Japan, The Fixx, Icehouse, Depeche Mode and Magazine. But there were also some lesser known others that did blink in another proggier direction: the Durutti Column, Simple Minds, ABC, Babble, This Mortal Coil and New Musik. I have a large selection but I want to leave some for you all to suggest. Who rang your prog bell back when all was pretty silent?
	I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.
