Belgian Chamber Prog scene

Oh, how could I forget - I have also two albums by Present - both are amazingly good - "Certitudes" and "High Infidelity". But still "Bull?" is just a tick better for me....and no one else voted for it.

Don't worry, most are relatively obscure. You should at least investigate Univers Zero though.

Bull is easily Cro Magnon's best album so far   You might want to try to get a hold of Present's first two albums on one CD. Very different than what they have done since reforming in the mid-90's Ultra sombre music

Many thanks for advice. Will keep an eye on it.

And when you say "Bull" is the best by Cro-Magnon, do you mean that other albums are not up to par with it? Please advise as I keep looking for their other works as well. Is it worth my efforts/money?

 

 

I finally voted for Univers Zero since I remember an outstanding concert in the "Halles de Schaerbeek" at the end of the seventies. But I also liked Cos that I discovered at the time they were still acting under the name "Classroom". The bass player was a school friend from the Brussels University.

I also had the chance to see Pazop in concert at the Janson Auditorium in Brussels but it was really weird. I remember Jacky Mauer walking around his drum kit, screaming and throwing metal beads on the toms. I must confess that I preferred his previous band, Waterloo, which should fit the proto-prog category (as well as Raepsaet-Friswa's Jengiz Khan)

And I would have added "Lagger Blues Machine" to the poll.

Thanks! I got the picture. Very interesiting.

I enjoyed reading this very much, Sean, and I also learned many new things, understanding more about the bands themselves now and the period in which they were/are active.

 

Still no-one can help with Kandahar and Tideline?

I think that every once in a while I will resuurect it from oblivion, or in other words:

BUMP

bump again
