That's Tony Williams' Lifetime, a well-renowned name in the world of jazz fusion, and the track Big Nick is also on their studio album (Turn It Over). So I don't think it is that obscure.

Incidentally it's a cover of a tune by John Coltrane, which he wrote as a tribute to fellow sax player "Big Nick" Nicholas.

Hi,

Ohhh heck ... we can create a new genre, they did that all the time anyway to support their pet hamsters!

We can call it ... let's see ... CUBISTIC PROGRESSIVE ROCK ... for its inventiveness and fun lyrics!

That should do the trick!

A total worth while listen and very enjoyable and the lyrics are great ... you remember those Japanese flicks with the idiot turds in the front seat making fun of it ... this song fits it perfectly! We'll have to tell Buckethead the Prez's favorite words ... "You're Fired!"

Obscure symph prog(not neo) from the 80's doesn't get much better than this. Interestingly, this is what I thought 70's Italian prog sounded like(before I knew any better although to some degree I might not have been too far off).

Dude, if you haven't check out the whole album, YOU MUST!!! But given your wild and hypnotoadotic proclivities, you probably already have Big smile

Like everyone else, I'm still discovering stuff. This is new to me.

Mmh. Here it works. There's at least one other video with the original version, but that one doesn't work on my computer when I include it here, also it has a much worse sound quality. There are also a few live versions from the 2010s, apparently the band is touring again. If you're interested maybe search for "Lift Meeresfahrt" on youtube; I'm reluctant to replace a video that seems to work on this computer at least.

This reminds me of the GDR band Lift, internationally probably also pretty obscure.

This is probably as close as you'll ever get to an american supper's ready(or even lady fantasy). A real treat for those who like symph prog but never heard it before. Enjoy.

Thanks for posting that....was not aware of them.....thought at first it was an unknown early version of the British band.
That's one I'll pick up for my collection.
The kind of thing Psychedelic Paul would also like.
Thumbs Up
 
It's funny you should mention that, Dr Wu, because Fantasy's "Paint a Picture" album was the seventh album I reviewed here seven months ago, but reading back through my  album review just now, it's an embarrassingly boring review to read through again, where I appeared to have had a sense-of-humour bypass and there's no real narrative flow to it either, so five stars for the superb album, but two stars for my poor review, or maybe I'm just being my own worst critic. Wink

Hi,

Good gracious ... I just got to page 3 after 5 hours of listening. Some great stuff here!

Can we keep it going? ... I'll add one or two if I can find the right information.

Found this band from Kazakhstan only recently (but actually they are national heroes in their country). The band is called Dos Mukasan, not an entirely prog band, but they have beautiful vocal harmonies.

Probably their proggiest piece, "Betpak dala" (means "A Hungry Steppe"), from their first LP (1976):

Roman Bunka cool too. Thanks for sharing these Clap

I think they were suggested for Avant/RIO.

here is another track from that Roman Bunka album:
