I would like to recommend following little known band - Les Projectionnistes. They are mixing jazz-rock with avant-garde elements. The only their album I have "Copie Zero" is a superb listen and a must for RIO/avant/Jazz-rock lovers.
Following is taken from their web-site projectionnistes.com. There are also some samples available on web-site.
quote
In the musical vignettes of Les Projectionnistes you will hear many divergent strains : love of brass bands and film soundtracks (noir atmospheres and frenetic chase scenes included), but also modal jazz, Raymond Scott-styled eccentric cartoonishness, scorching Hendrixian guitar rock, avant-garde textures, tight funk horn riffing, some Hammond B3 flavors, a Latin tinge, and maybe even a bit of punk for good measure. But Projectionnistes music is no random pastiche of sounds thrown together willy-nilly; the band merge all of the aforementioned influences and more together into a unique and singular sound, one that seems utterly familiar because you have heard these stylistic antecedents before, but never combined together in quite the same way. Ear-catching melodies, clever arrangements, monster grooves, killer chops, sensitivity, and subtlety are all part of the puzzle, yet all fit together seamlessly, such that the lines between the puzzle pieces disappear from view. With Claude St-Jean at the helm, who is also the musical director of the brass band L’Orkestre des Pas Perdus, the musicians that make up Les Projectionnistes come from diverse backgrounds. They have worked in Montreal’s jazz, rock and “musique actuelle” scenes : Bernard Falaise on electric guitar, Pierre Labbé on tenor saxophone, Roberto Murray on alto saxophone, Tommy Babin on acoustic bass and Rémi Leclerc on drums. They are known to choose in their repertoire from their two CD release, Vue (2005) and Copie zéro (1999). Formed in 1996, the group is also noted for its performances of improvised music accompanying classical surrealist films. They have left powder marks of their performances at the Montreal Inter-national Jazz Festival , at the Vancouver Jazz Festival and at Ottawa Jazz Festival, at AMG EdgeFest in Ann Arbor U.S.A., the Rencontres de musique actuelle at Usine C, at Quai des Brumes in Montreal, at the Toronto Downtown Jazz Festival and the Soirées des Musiques Fraîches in Québec City and in St-Malo, France. This is projection without film, a volatile mix of raw energy, stimulating, bracing and best seen and heard in the dark. unquote This is one great band! Enjoy!

Anyone who is a fan of latter day Porcupine Tree but who has not heard their earlier albums here's what I recommend:
1. The Sky Moves Sideways (1995): Absolutly perfect mix of spacey, electronically-manipulated ambience and spacy jams. Beautiful music, but at times unsettling!
2. Up the Downstair (1993): Similar to The Sky Moves Sideways, but with more simple poppy songs (with the same tinge of electronics).
3. Metanoia (1998): Mostly improvised, with a dominantly subdued yet unsettling mood and several "freak-out" passages.
4. Signify (1997): A slightly weaker and a bit darker complement to The Sky Moves Sideways.
5. Voyage 34: The Complete Trip (1992): An album recorded trying to achive the experience of a bad acid trip that tears apart a user's psyche!

Besides Smegma which I have, I don't know anything from there. You got me really curious now. I love those unknown/underground albums and groups, especially when their sound invloves the word Avantgarde...
EDIT:
Regarding förklädd gud - jazz i sverige, I found some things in the following places:
It's too bad I don't know Sverige since most info is naturally in that language.

I think if you look through that insects and individual site you might find some things that interest you. That is where I found out about all those artist I stated above.
Well I have to say after all that Avant-garde, my head is throbbing and my sanity has been thrown out the window But it was a great day. Also I have suggested that Brast Burn should be add on the site (I started a thread in the suggestion section). Karuna Khyal's album is in the archives and they are the same band under different names, with a very similar sound. I like to think almost like Japanese Kraut Rock |

Too much Avantgarde can damage your brain
I'd like to recommend now a French musician called Alain Markusfeld - http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_BAND.asp?band_id=2482
Look here for his releases: http://www.musikafrance.com/pages/pages_markusfeld/markusfeld_cadre.html
His discography here in PA is incomplete. I will file a complaint to the Discographies Editor for not doing his job. Wait a minute... that's me... Well I'll slap myself later and I will add the missing albums this week.
Now this artist makes beautiful ethereal music, spacey in nature with some relaxing and soothing voices (both male and female). Somewhat psychedelic at times. They actually sound stoned.
I have the 2 albums listed here on PA:
Both are similar in sound and make a nice and relaxing listen for when the Avantgarde has driven you over the edge. But the 2nd one, Le Son... shows a progression from the first in sound quality and in complexity. As Oliverstoned notes in his review of the album it features two known musicians: Joכl Dugrenot on bass (Clearlight, Delired cameleon family, Zao) and Laurent Thibault (Magma). He has apparentely evolved with the following albums, as the bio here says.
Not a mindblowing album, but I think this is some very nice music to discover and listen to in addition to all the stuff you already know.
Here are the two only reviews on those albums by Oliverstoned:
I think this would be a nice addition to someone who is interested in knowing more of the French prog scene and likes space/psychedelkic prog.
EDIT: I just wanted to update that I added the missing albums by Markusfeld
EDIT 2: I wrote a review about Le Monde En Etages - http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=82431 Edited by avestin - July 02 2006 at 09:38 |

I would like the make the recommendation of a Progressive Folk band I have only rescently discovered.
CARNASCIALIA - s/t Side 1 1. Canzone Numero Uno (c'è chi batte i denti, chi prende il ritmo eci balla sopra) (5:57) 2. Fiocchi di neve e Bruscolini (3:03) 3. Almeisan (9:39) Side 2 1. Kaitain (6:57) 2. Cruzeiro do Sul (5:41) 3. Gamela (6:59) Total Time: 38:16 Line-up - Pasquale Minieri / guitar, bass, vocals - Giorgio Vivaldi / percussion, flute - Carlo Siliotto / violin - Demetrio Stratos / vocals - Clara Murtas / vocals - Nunzia Tambara / vocals - Piero Brega / vocals - Luciano Francisci / accordion - Tommaso Vittorini / saxophone - Maurizio Giammarco / saxophone - Mauro Pagani / violin, mandolin - Danilo Rea / piano - Marcello Vento / drums - Pablo Romero / tin whistle Their biography on the site: CARNASCIALIA was an Italian folk prog project that was founded from the ashes of CANZONIERE DEL LAZIO in the late seventies. The founders Pasquale Minieri and Giorgio Vivaldi as well as Carlo Siliotto were all previously members of that group. CARNASCIALIA released only one album. In this album the group consisted of Pasquale Minieri (guitar, bass, vocals), Giorgio Vivaldi (percussion, flute), Carlo Siliotto (violin), Demetrio Stratos (vocals), Clara Murtas (vocals), Nunzia Tambara (vocals), Piero Brega (vocals), Luciano Francisci (accordion), Tommaso Vittorini (sax), Maurizio Giammarco (sax), Mauro Pagani (violin, mandolin), Danilo Rea (piano), Marcello Vento (drums) and Pablo Romero (tin whistle). The most famous members for progressive music fans were obviously Demetrio Stratos of AREA and Mauro Pagani of PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI fame. The only album was released in 1979 and it carries the group’s name. The music in this album can be considered avant prog folk. It is hard to compare this group to the other groups of the seventies Italian scene but it is somewhat similar at least to some works of CLAUDIO ROCCHI. The music is not similar to the symphonic groups of the Italian scene, which were the most famous ones, but the music is nevertheless very good and should please fans of prog folk. CARNASCIALIA was an interesting group in the avant prog folk scene.

I would like to recommend Randone's last album "Hybla Act 1" - released in 2005
On that site you can listen to many samples of the album.
The opus is about the millenary history of the city of Ragusa, the ancient Hybla, passing through wars of ancient times, medieval age and baroque period.
Great concept album for a continuous track divided on cd in 25 songs. Excellent and varied arrangements, vocals provided also by a baritone.
This is a real gem, a BAROCK OPERA, as it's said in the liner notes.
Line-up
- Nicola Randone: vocal, 12 string guitar, digital piano, arturia moog, NI B4 and orchestral samples - Riccardo Cascone: drums and percussions - Marco Crispi: lead guitar - Livio Rabito: bass, vocal and background vocal Special Guests - Beppe Crovella: moog, mellotron, wurlitzer - Graziano Raniolo: sax - Carmelo Corrado Caruso: baritone vocal - Lautaro Acosta: violin - Bianca La Rosa: female voice - Elena Infantino: background female voice - Franco Cilia: narrow voice
