Sweet Smoke's Darkness to Light is a good album with sitar all over it.

I think Oregon is on PA; if not, Oregon and Colin Walcott are highly recommended.  

Is Amanda Shankar on PA?  

Great database we have here, but, man, it has really grown over the years.  Can't keep up!
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

oh I missed Gerinski's video reference.  I had seen that video performer.  Great performance by the whole band at that Progfest.  I really enjoyed the trilogy of comeback albums but have not given the latest one (lacking Aldo) much chance.

^Yeahh Madre Mia is amazing too, well recalled by Gerinski on this thread with that superb YouTube video. In my opinion Il Fiume is an album a bit underrated, fairly a bunch of great moments there.

yes that track from L'Infinito is awesome.   I knew about it but couldn't remember which album, and also didn't know if it was real sitar
 
This album has been growing on me everytime I listen to it!

There is another nifty Le Orme's song that features a beautiful Sitar sound:
 
Calipso (album Florian)
 
More:
 
Le Orme - Fine Di Un Viaggio_E Ricorda Che... Domani (album Florian)
Le Orme - Il Treno (album Piccola Rapsodia Dell'Ape)
 
Le Orme - El Gran Senser (album Florian)
 
Le Orme - La Ruota Del Cielo (album L'infinito):
 
I've been thinking this piece couldn't miss here, under any circumstances, for having the best sitar intro followed by such an amazing sitar melody!
 
By the way Greinski is damn right, Le Orme's Aldo Tagliapietra DO play the real sitar !!

Incredible String Band, especially on their classic early albums “The Hangman’s Beautiful Daughter” and “Liquid Acrobat as Regards the Air”.

By "SITAR" do you mean an actual sitar or just something that sounds like a sitar?...
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Richard Hudson played sitar on several STRAWBS  songs - "Canon Dale", "Is it Today Lord", and "Lady Fuschia" all come to mind.  I think he played it on some Hudson-Ford albums too

I think from memory (without digging through my complete collection of Strawbs/Hudson Ford albums) that he also played it on Fingertips from Antiques and Curios and Shepherd Song from Witchwood. He certainly did use it on Nickelodeon but on which tracks, I'm not sure.

Strawbs really were (and still are) a marvellous band. I saw the electric line up on a dreadfully windy night in York when they played to just 50 people (most couldn't get there die to travel problems) and they were fantastic. Despite the tiny crowd, they put everything into the gig.

Hey Tony!  I think you might be right about Fingertips.  I do remember dulcimer on it.  And definitely excellent sitar on "The Shepherd's Song", one of their first tracks with mellotron and moog.  It seems to me that there was a song called "Angels" on the first Hudson Ford album that was sitar-rich.  There may have been others.  I don't think Hud played any sitar on either the "Don't Say Goodbye" or "Ringing Down the Years" STRAWBS albums in which he played in the late 1980s/early 1990s.
