Hello Avestin.

I own Al Otro lado by Asfalto, a very pleasant album with harder-edged guitar play, lots of rocky rhythms and wonderful, varied keyboards, in my opinion their best work. Ibio made an album entitled Cuevas De Altamira, this one features beautiful folk and some awesome Mellotron waves. Harnakis is Marillion inspired neo-prog delivering very sensitive electric guitar runs. Many bands on your listen do I still have to discover!

By the way, TRIANA  is a MUST !!!!!

Informative as always, mon cher Erik,

BTW - You do realize I was joking about Triana, don't you?

Oh, and there's this band, Triana...

Triana? WHO...?

I would say Asfalto played basically rock music, with some prog influencies.

Asturcón were from the same region as Senogul, Asturias. They edited only one album and it's Asturian-prog-folk(celtic) music (here it goes another sub-genre for you, Erik!)

Cal played prog-Andaluz in the same way as Cai and Triana, but less refined.

Crack is a must-have of Spanish prog, very gentle, nice arrangements, good symphonic prog.

Iman is another very good band from the south of Spain, they also played prog-Andaluz. They edited two albums and both are worth to have if you like the style.

Great that this thread is still vividly running  but now undercover as 'Prog Andaluz'  !

Great contributions by all , thanks to Carakhallo for the additional information about Spanish prog.

Sean Trane (Hugues Chantraine) wrote good reviews about Pan & Regaliz as I remember, Andrew, I have never heard this known band .. ..

Sometimes I am too deadly serious, Avestin  ..

Have you asked your boss for more money, Micky  ?

There's too much quality threads lately, that seem to only focus on music and finding and discovering new bands:

http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19836& amp; amp; amp;FID=42 - French

http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17840& amp; amp; amp;PN=1 - Spanish

http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7256&a mp;a mp;a mp;PN=3 - Belgium (RIO/Avantgarde)

http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19821& amp; amp; amp;PN=1 - Scandinavia

http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19749& amp; amp;FID=3 - German Folk Prog

 

This simply can't go on.

Lets get back to the old useless threads - "Yes is better than Genesis", "Dream Theater sucks", "is Deep Purple prog?" and "Tool is not prog" etc.

I agree, let's return to the level of : "What is The Lamb ..about" , "I hate Tales From Topografic Oceans" ...  ...................................................... ....."Is Prog Andaluz a new category?"  ..

I agreed with the (new) genre: Prog-Andaluz (it's a good name)
There are great bands from Spain playing this flamenco-prog, like Senogul, Triana and Mezquita.
In fact, I have realized that it could there be a lot of new genres here in PA...
In South America, you will find Tango-Prog (Argentina); Bossa Nova-Prog (Brazil); Andean-Prog (Chile); and so on.
In Portugal (Banda do Casaco, José Cid), France (Ange, Malicorne) and Italy (Le Orme, Banco...), they play popular music with prog-rock.
It seems a special kind of symphonic and folk progressive rises when it is sung in latin languages.
How about Latin-Prog? Humm.. very generic? Ok, I leave this question to later...
Now we want Prog Andaluz... it's a symphatic genre of prog.
Good luck!

I agree completely.... my CC can't handle all this and longs for the day of collecting dust while I argue if 'Genesis is overrated'.. 'Yes are God's gift to prog' .... and 'what is prog.. in prog-metal'

Prog-Brazil his contribution points at the heart of the matter: some categories are so distinctive that it would be better to create categories like Prog Andaluz (flamenco inspired) and Latin Prog (last year I received a bunch of Latin-Prog cd's, incredible how original these sound!) in order to send longing progheads in those specific directions (flamenco, South-American rhythms). This thread has prooved that there is a need for that but I am repeating myself, there will be no new categories like Prog Andaluz and Latin-Prog but in threads we will not be prosecuted to use these terms  !

So we don't need to fear that some Admin. will warn us or close this thread for improper prog verbal conduct?

that's a shame Erik.. but waht can you do... as I said earlier hopefully people are watching and listening to these threads and curiousity will take over and they'll check out some of these groups.  I for one have enjoyed these threads... and have loved what I've heard so far..  Dallas was the one who really got onto me (on another site) for being a bit 'anglo-centric' in my prog listening...  having gone head first into the Italian stuff,  a decent entry into the German stuff, and  baby steps into Spanish and non-Zeuhl French prog... I can say I've loved  it all and can't wait to get more.  Now there's Belgian prog.... ahhh...

Let's not forget the Japanese prog, perhaps I start one of these days a thread as a tribute to the wonderful, often bombastic Japanese prog!

Great Idea. I know only a few bands in this scene and I'd like to know more. Meanwhile I just go over the Japan index here on PA and go over reviews. But a thread about it has advantages of its own.
