Russian Prog Appreciation Thread

A new Ukrainian band lead by Anton Kalugin, KARFAGEN's leader. Now with vocals and more powerful basis, HOGGWASH catches the very core nature of Neo-Prog with their music!

You can download 3-6 min long samples (!) on theirofficial site

Ian's lovely KOSTAREV GROUP's review

Your words about progressiveness of these bands are very true, Ian. First of all, it happens because most of them have unlimited access to world's latest music, they try not to lael themselves as Prog or Indie or something else, they seek new ways and aren't afraid of experimenting (since there's no "prog market" in CIS, they've no fear of losing their audience ). Second, there are still strong musical and cultural traditions, though nowadays the gap between the interested ones and ignorant ones grows . And third, since post-Soviet artists less influenced by common Prog bands (most of them, at least), they all sound very fresh and unique...so ANY Russian/Post-Soviet Prog band is a worthy thing to check out!!!

hey, I've abandoned my child for some time
