Great job on the japanese prog, Erik and Co. (I wasnエt on time to participate in the beginning of the thread...)!!!!

I think that all has been said, but pertaining Gerard, guess I prefer the keyboard power trio after the first albuns. Their latest album is great!

Cheers!!

What an incredible coincidence: while just reading the latest reactions on this thread (thanks again everybody  ), I receive a parcel from Background Magazine (Dutch progrock magazine I write for since many years) with ... two Japanese bands! The first is Walrus with two albums (their first is wonderful and a bit early Genesis inspired with Mellotron), the second is Quikion, a prog-folk band with great female vocals, virtuosic accordion play and lots of worldwide ethnic instruments like the Greek bouzouki and the Indian tampura, very interesting music if you like folk (on the Japanese Poseidon label).

I'm surprised that there is no members from Japan on this site!

Obviously you didn't read this thread, otherwise you'd see that there is.

Check out Le Silo! Just got the CD [8.8] and it is sublime!!! [this is another Yoshida spin off FYI those who care - his other bands are such as Ruins, Koenji Hyakkei, Tipographica, KOREKYOJIN, etc etc...

Where opposites meet: the one proghead admits he has never heard of a progrock scene in Japan, the other proghead delivers an excellent article about Japanese prog from a foreign label/paper (Record Heaven)!

Since this thread started, I've checked out 3 Japanese prog albums - 2 by Kenso (III & Sparta), and one by Asturias (Brilliant Streams).

The Kenso stuff is a little bit light (I'm still trying to get a copy of Fabulis Mirabilis...), but I think the Asturias CD is excellent! I was surprised to find that they are not on Prog Archives!

You have GOT to check out Art of Life by the group X Japan.

It is a 25 minute proggy "epic", sung in English and only performed once (flawlessly) live.

Based on the strength of this song (the MP3 of the live version), I bought six X Japan CDs. Although nothing they have done is as proggy as Art of Life.

One word of warning.... Art of Life contains a piano solo in the middle thats pretty.... ummm.... experimental.

If it's worth playing, it's worth playing loud!

There are still so many less known but very good bands that need to be added to this site, I am working on it, Norm Cash, time is on my side I hope!

Asturias is one of the bands I am working on but it's a very hard job to write biographies if you cannot find information or only information in Japanese (although I know some Japanese  ).

Anyway, thanks for keeping this thread still going on everybody!
