I am glad you like it and I appreciate you are trying to see through the hardship that this sort of music presents to the listener.
As I said, I will have you listen to a "sample" soon.
Now for something else. I want to recommend the Brazilian folk and art rock artist ARAÚJO, MARCO ANTÔNIO.
His bio here in PA:
MARCO ANTONIO ARAUJO was born in Belo Horizonte on 1949. On 1968 he played in a band called VOX POPULI, that later would become SOM IMAGINARIO. In 1970, and now living in England, he used to be a fan of bands such as: PINK FLOYD, LED ZEPPELIN and GENESIS, who would have great influence on his musical production. Within the next few years, MARCO ANTONIO ARAUJO studied guitar and cello in Rio de Janeiro.
In 1977, once again in Belo Horizonte, he joined the symphonic orchestra and soon (1980) his first album, "Influências" was released. With only six instrumental tracks, he had already achieved an amazing sense of balance and created a personal style. MARCO ANTONIO ARAUJO is a classic when it comes to brazilian prog, and also a highly recomended artist for anyone who likes both symphonic rock and prog folk. What is good in this case is that you can't go wrong with any of his releases as they are all of equal quality.
Check it out people

Joey, there is something coming your way by PM....
So my good friends it is time for another weekend special. This time, inspired by some personal experience and by Joey's (OpethGuitarist) reaction to my previous recommendation, here is a continuation.
Returning a bit to Tatsuya Yoshida - http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=19949 Otomo Yoshihide - http://www.japanimprov.com/yotomo/index.html http://www.furious.com/perfect/otomo.html These two musicians have many (many) projects and are very active and not confounded to one musical style. They are involved in some of the bands I will mention now:
Ruins (Zeuhl) Happy Family (Zeuhl) Ground Zero (RIO/Avant) Bondage Fruit (Zeuhl) Koenjihyakkei (Zeuhl) I will bring quotes from several places describing best what they do and sound like: Ruins Features Tatsuya Yohida PA: RUINS formed in Skingraft records.com: Ruins are the brainchild of drummer Tatsuya Yoshida, one of http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_BAND.asp?band_id=825 http://www.skingraftrecords.com/bandhtmlpages/ruinspg.html Happy Family Only two albums, but what an impact! PA: Furious riffing, noisy angular drumming, intense energy and top-notch musicianship is what they’re about. Their guitar work is in the vein or Robert Fripp; the keyboards recall either UNIVERS ZERO or MAGMA (depending on what passages you’re hearing); the fretless bass work will no doubt remind you of the MAGMA/Zeuhl fusion sound; and the drumming will instantly recall Bill Bruford or Daniel Denis of UNIVERS ZERO. Throw in a bit of heavy metal, some Japanese goofiness and you’re in for quite a sonic ride. The first album is highly recommended to fans of KING CRIMSON, UNIVERS ZERO and MAGMA whereas the second is more likely to appeal to fans of TIPOGRAPHIA, DR. NERVE or IL BERLIONE. http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_BAND.asp?band_id=1241 http://www.cuneiformrecords.com/bandshtml/happyfamily.html http://www.progreviews.com/reviews/display.php?rev=hf-hf http://www.progreviews.com/reviews/display.php?rev=hf-tosc Ground Zero Features Otomo Yoshihide PA: Fronted by Freeform turntablist, guitarist Otomo Yoshihide, Ground Zero was yet another project for one of Japans most prolific musical geniuses of the modern era. Originally formed in 1990 as a changeable line up, the band has seen numerous line-ups. Most of their albums focus around a selection of specific scores of music, moulded into Otomo’s noisy and stylistic interpretations. The samples come from far and wide, ranging from the Revolutionary Pekinese Opera of China to the Free Jazz of Kaoura Abe. Ground Zero Show the Japanese noise/Free Jazz scene at its pinnacle, but the world has come to expect nothing less from Otomo Yoshihide. This band is a must hear for all those Noise/Avant-garde/Free Jazz fans. http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_BAND.asp?band_id=2668 http://www.japanimprov.com/yotomo/groundzero/history.html Bondage Fruit PA: Their material, which borrows more from the European school (MAGMA, MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA) than the Japanese new music scene, focuses on avant-garde jazz structures, loud blaring rock'n roll and at times all-out dissonance; it ranges from rock to fusion, to experimental, to ethnic. In addition to the usual rock arsenal, they use the vibraphone, contrebass and violin quite liberally. The singing, which consists of no actual words, is provided by two female jazz vocalists and is treated as an additional instrument, adding a very personal touch to the band's sound. http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_BAND.asp?band_id=1229 http://www.aural-innovations.com/issues/issue11/bfruit.html Konejihyakkei (aka Koenji Hyakkei aka Hundred Sights of Koenji) Yes, Yoshida again… PA: Take MAGMA, AREA and ELP at their most excessive, feed them an overdose of caffeine and you’ll get the gist of what KOENJIHYAKKEI sound like. Or imagine the speed of DEUS EX MACHINA and then add many more tempo changes and musical ideas. Anyone not ready for some insane, amphetamine-driven prog are advised to stay clear of this foursome. As for others, they’re in for the musical roller coaster of their lives. Headed by vocalist, composer and drummer extraordinaire Tatsuya Yoshida, this Zeuhl quartet is an offshoot of Japanese cult duo RUINS. In addition to RUINS’ own bassist Shigekazu Kuwahara and drummer Tatsuya Yoshida, KOENJIHYAKKEI also feature excellent female vocalist/keyboardist Aki Kubota (who is replaced by Nami Sagara on their third album). http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_BAND.asp?band_id=1218 http://www.skingraftrecords.com/bandhtmlpages/koenjipg.html |

Awesome Assaf, I've been able to check out Ruins but have not gotten to the other stuff yet. Hopefully I can make time for it next week.
This is great stuff guys, especially if you enjoy a blend of Magma and added technicality, with a dash of weird(at least in the case of KOENJIHYAKKEI ) Edited by OpethGuitarist - October 29 2006 at 03:11 |

To change a bit from my previous rec's, I want to present a French psych band called Catharsis - http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_BAND.asp?band_id=2626
Sadly no bio yet for them here, but I will try and collect some pieces of info about them to add there. If anyone here has knowledge he would want to contribute to the bio, it would be much appreciated and also acknowledged in the bio itself.
Anyway, as a very generous courtesy of DallasBryan I have their release called 32 Mars. Which was re-issued on Spalax in 1994. On the cd it says the tracks were recorded in 1971, but the PA page says it was released in 1973, so I am not sure about that.
It features 4 instrumental (meaning no lyrics, but with vocalization - both female andmale) tracks that alternate between the nice, soft melodies (in the spirit of the 60's rock sound with a funny sounding organ) and the more quirky psychedelic sounds portrayed by saxes and synths and cool sounding drums and other percussions. Some of the tracks (mainly Les Chevrons) almost breaches into the electronic prog sound that is found in the that of the French duo Eden in their album Aura.
This is a nice trippy album, with nice melodies and a sort of juvenile approach to compositions at times. Entertaining and makes for a good, enjoyable listen.
Here are some links form the web:
http://www.babyblaue-seiten.de/index.php?content=review&left=year&albumId=4798&year=1973 (in German)

I have many more to recommend, but due to personal obligations I will postpone it a bit, but I will return with some "new" stuff to tell about, including my latest purchases: Vortex - their two albums
Pataphonie - Le Matin Blanc (if it arrives...)
Kroko - Furia (same note as above)
And other great music (I don't even know where to begin...).
Take care everyone, and enjoy the music
Assaf
EDIT: PS - In the meantime, don't hesitate to share with all your personal favourites you want to spread the word about.

One of my recent purchases has been the 2 album cd set of the French Zeuhl/Jazz/Chamber rock group Vortex called Vortex 19750-1979 which has the albums - Vortex and Les Cycles De Thanatos. It has Zeuhl, Chamber Rock, some jazz movements and classical compositions on it.
You can listen to some of it here:
Do not pass this opportunity to listen to it.

Eider Stellaire You know them? Well, if you are into Zeuhl and love Magma, you must have heard their name at least.
Zeuhl is definitely the style here, although not as "heavy" as mother Magma, but still the inevitable leading bass is there, drums and percusssions that go in all directions, the fusion style keyboards and the chanting female vocals. Maybe not as energetic as Eskaton, but still adventurous and experimental and above all, a delight to your ears.
They released 3 albums, the first 2 go by the same s/t name (1981 and 1986) and the third called Eider 3 (1988).
Sadly never reissued on CD.
Lineup on first album:
Patrick Singery – Bass
Jean Clude Delachat – Guitar Pierre Gerard-Hirne – Piano, Organ Michel LeBards – Drums Veronique Perrault – Vocals Marie-Anne Boda – Flute, Vocals Michel Moindre - Sax (1) They will be added to PA (hopefully in the near future)
http://www.progweed.net/reviews/e/e.html (scroll down)
Read about French prog (including Zeuhl and RIO) here:
One of their songs (Millenaires) appears on the compilation Enneade from 1989.

I recommend:
Early Chicago (Chicago Transit Authority & Chicago II). This band is progressive in the truest sense: stretching the boundaries of rock music with innovation. They combine jazz and classical music with rock and blues to create a unique sound. |

In my recent purchase I bought an album by a new band called Deluge Grander which is a Baltimore based band that rose from the ashes of Cerebus Effect - a band I recommended here before.
They have a fusion basis topped which is shared with CE but as opposed to them they do not posses the more metallic sound that gave CE the tag of Canterbury Metal. Instead they are more laid back, incoporating a rather symphonic rock sound to their music with what sounds like mellotrons (not written in the booklet). They are original and demonstrate excellent musicianship. The album has lenghty tracks (one track is almost 27 minutes) and never boring, changing tempo's and atmosphere and bringing about new musical ideas to the tracks. This album was released in September and you can find it on Big Balloon for 10.80$ or on SynPhonic for 12$.
The art work is beautiful, with some more artistic, classic painting style and some more colourful, fantasy styled pictures.
This is an album that should be mentioned when talking about the highlights of 2006.

I was going to give another recommendation but instead I want to point you, my dear fellows, to a Finnish wonder....
Have you heard of Circle?
Circle is made up of:
- Jussi Lehtisalo / bass, vocals - Tomi Leppהnen / drums
- Janne Tuomi / percussion
The first man there, Jussi, is probably the leader and is involved in countless other musical projects (as well as running a music company), much like Otomo Yoshihide and Tatsuya Yoshida in Japan.
Their first album was described in Aquarius records as "AmRep grunge-meets-Gregorian chants" and their second as having "entered into a Kraut-rocky realm with cellos". This band releases albums that are quite different from one another, never redoing the same formula and trying new directions with every release and experimenting constantly.
You can find some of their releases in http://www.aquariusrecords.org but many of their releases have sold-out and are out of print and are hard to come by, even on Ebay, where you can find some for ridiculously expensive prices.
I have a feeling this post will be followed by two or three others:
Geck0 (James)
Jimbo (Toni)
One of the newly formed psych/space team which will add this band - Eetu and/or Chamberry (Ruben).

So folks, before going on with other recommendations I was thinking that it would nice if anyone would like to tell us if they found any recommendation in this thread useful. If you found an album or band through this thread, tell us about it. Did you find it good or bad? did it make you go look deeper into genres and bands from countries you previously did not look deep enough? Please let us know. I am interested to know if it's worth bothering on going on with this.I see many people look in this thread and many others posted here, but I am not sure about the impact of it.
Let me tell you about some of the bands I discovered through others recommendations here and thereby remind everyone of some of the recommendation that were made here:
Ivan Melgar recommended the Peruvian psych band Laghonia
Laghonia: The only band is South Americathat had a Hammond B3 back in the late 60's, they evolved from Psychedelic to Progressive Rock in a lapse of months, but this was because their albums were recorded in a year period with material they had gathered for several years. Almost unknown even in Perú until they turned into a POP band but had the decency to change their name to We All Together
Jimbo recommended Machine and the Synergistic Nuts - Leap Second Neutral and also:
Jukka Tolonen - Tolonen!
Jukka Tolonen is probably best known for being the guitarist in Tasavallan Presidentti (one of the most famous Finnish prog bands), but he did release many brilliant solo records as well. Tolonen! was his first solo album, and it is certainly his best effort, recorded back in 1971 when the man was only 19-years old!!! He is joined by absolutely the best rock musicians in Finland, bandmate Pekka Pöyry, and almost all of the guys from Wigwam (Jukka Gustavson, Pekka Pohjola, Ronnie Österberg). The music presented here is an amazing blend of instrumental prog-rock and jazz .... His style is not really comparable to other artists IMO. Of course, on some level it could be compared to his band TP, especially their Lambertland album (without the vocals), but Tolonen's approach to music is rather unique. The first track Elements - Earth, Fire, Water, Air shows all the different aspects that made him so great: Highly energetic guitar playing (but no showing-off), beautiful wind instruments, classically inspired piano playing etc. Brilliant stuff! A must for anyone into jazz-rock, and it's probably one of my top 10 ... (from any genre!) His second solo album Summer Games (1973) was already quite different, still very good, but much more jazz-oriented (and highly acoustic), with influences from Indian classical music. Tolonen also did his share of somewhat mediocre blues-rock releases during his career later on, but that's another story! Andrea Cortese recommeded Riccardo Zappa.
Glass House recommended to me personnaly of Out Of Focus
Paulieg recomeeded these:
And these too:
Bryan recommended these:
I'm going to make my first contribution to this thread by bringing attention to a few bands I've been into lately. I haven't read all of this thread, so I apologize if any have come up already.
Aletheian - They're not included on PA yet but should be soon. Their sound mostly resembles the usual guitar harmony based melodic death metal approach (Opeth's Morningrise would be the closest prog example I can think of), yet they take it to a level of twisted complexity beyond any other band I've heard. Their compositions are extremely dense and take several listens to fully decipher, but the results are an extremely rewarding listen. Lykathea Aflame - Whether they're classifiable as prog is somewhat open to debate, but the undeniable fact is that these guys are one of the most innovative and interesting technical death metal bands in the genre's history. Their general aesthetic is a brutal, grinding style of extremely technical death metal not unlike Cryptopsy, combined with some elements of Egyptian and other world music reminiscent of Nile. What sets the group apart is their approach to this sound, combining their fast and brutal sound with new age sounding keyboards, uplifting (and extremely addictive) melodies and lyrics about hope and spirituality. The band's song structures are far more elaborate and varied than anything their contemporaries have as of yet attempted and their musicianship is simply breakthtaking (in particular the drummer, who must be heard to be believed). While they're not for every prog fan, these guys will reward anybody with an interest in the artsier side of extreme metal. Electrocution 250 - Reviving the playful aesthetic of insturmental prog-metal pioneers Spastic Ink, Electrocution 250 take technical prog-metal further than just about any of their contemporaries. Their radical shred metal assult is one of the most impressive instrumental showings in recent memory, yet unlike other groups along these likes (Behold... the Arctopus, Liquid Tension Experiment), their strong sense of humor gives their work a different flavour than most generic instrumental w**kery and provides a certain degree of accessibility to their impossible guitar and keyboard runs. Enslaved - Though they began life as a fairly straightforward black/viking metal outfit, Enslaved picked up some old Yes/Genesis albums a few years back and moved well beyond the boundaries laid out by their esoteric early sound. Since 2001's Monumension they've been steadily integrating progressive elements into their sound, growing more ambitious and certainly more interesting. Their new album Runn is the latest in a series of impressive releases by this band, who certainly deserve to be listed on this site (though it hasn't happened quite yet). Gecko had this to say:
Nucleus
For those who like jazz/fusion. The band contains members of the Canterbury scene, so they're linked into that genre, but they don't play Canterbury music. They're second release is better than their first in my opinion, check them out on the archives. Chris Spedding's guitar playing is great and is never over-the-top and the brass section is great too, a very underrated band that needs to be heard. Allen Holdsworth was guitarist on the "Belladonna" album. Discipline - Unfolded Like Staircase I'm enjoying this very much at the moment, this a cross between a lot of bands, there's a bit of Genesis, a bit of Van der Graaf Generator, but it's a lot more than this. Matthew Parmenter is a great musician, lyricist and vocalist. On this album he plays violin, saxophone and keyboards. He also has a solo album "Astray", which I have yet to hear, but from what I have been told, it's as good as Unfolded Like Staircase. Moon Safari They have only released the one album, but this Swedish symphonic band has something other symphonic bands don't have, they have a very cool sound and harmonised vocals. They're not a very well known band, but they deserve to be, they're a talented bunch indeed. Amagrama This band hails from Argentina and I gather they're all under the age of 20. Again, they're more of a symphonic band. They have some great drumming and guitar playing, but the synth playing really shines, this is a great band who have released just the one album so far. A few of their songs are in Spanish, but this really doesn't deter from the overall feel of the music. The final track on the album is a cover of another Argentine band "Crucis", so if you're aware of that band and like what you hear, you'll enjoy them. Zac M mentioned this :
Ok, instead of making a list (to me lists do not seems very helpful), I will only post about one forgotten gem tonight.
Two Rainbows Daily is a forgotten Canterbury gem, recently reissued if I remember correctly. Alan Gowen and Hugh Hopper collaborate on this beautiful early 80's Canterbury album, full of wonderful keyboards played by the late Gowen (of Gilgamesh and National Health fame) and Hopper on bass of course. This album is much more easy to listen than Hopper's 1984, for example, which I consider to be the early beginnings of RIO, along with Wyatt's The End of an Ear. Definitley worth a listen for all those already initaited with the famed groups these two musicians came from, a very unique and interesting listening experience. and this as well:
I posted about this album a while back, but it received little response, so I thought I'd add it into this thread: I just wanted to get the word out about this hidden British psych gem. Released in 1969, on the Decca/Deram label, this was the only release by the band, and as far as I know, this album is only now available as a Japanese import. It's definitely worth a listen for all fans of early British psych and the Deram label. Give it a listen, you won't regret it. Eugene mentioned this:
And another hidden treasure here! Spanisg band GOTIC with their album "Escenes". Wonderfull Symphonic Prog from 70's. Highly recommended! Carmen - I heard three of their studio albums (probably it's all they have released??) and none of it impressed me at all. This is kind of flamenco-rock. Probably not my cup of tea. Heard that Carmen were big source of inspiration for Ritchie Blackmore, for what it's worth... Enchant "Blueprint of the world" is their first album, and probably the best, but it left me totally unimpressed. Rush influences are too obvious, and music in general is very uninspiring and boring IMO. Fermata - have their album called "Generation" - very interesting jazz-rock with east european flavour. I think they are from Czechoslovakia. Rare and underrated band - highly recommended! SBB - another rarity - from Poland. I have only their DVD called "Follow My Dream" - show recorded live at TV Festival in Belgium 1978, plus some video material recorded 1974-1979. Keyboards driven prog, sometimes reminding of Tangerine Dream, but no clone whatsoever - very original. Refugee - very good. Patrick Moraz project. Think this is a "one album" project, but to me it is best of Moraz's output (with Mainhorse close second). Negative zone - here I have to disagree with majority having reviewed this album here. I bought it week ago and sold it yesterday. Can't see much point in reworking Pink Floyd themes, mixing it with "psychodelic" noises. Boring plagiaristic stuff. Guitar works and vocals are very much on Gilmour vein, second track reminding Syd Barrett era, and the whole album leaves this annoying feeling of "heard it before and it was much better". I think only die-hard fans of early-mid Pink Floyd could nostalgically enjoy it. Not for me. Dalt99 had this to say:
band that doesn't get enough talking about if ANY is an Italian band called Exploit. They made one album in 1972 called "Crisi". Their album is very rare with only a few hundred released in 1972 and a thousand in 1989. It's very good early prog in the vein of Banco and ELP. Very symphonic and classical.
That's enough for now, I think.... But there are plenty more.... Here are some threads from the past:
To continue the reference to others, here is a list of threads that recommend bands and albums from different prog scenes (Spain, France, Scandinavia etc.): http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19836& amp; amp; amp; amp;FID=42 - French http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17840& amp; amp; amp; amp;PN=1 - Spanish http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7256&a mp;a mp;a mp;a mp;PN=3 - Belgium (RIO/Avantgarde) http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19821& amp; amp; amp; amp;PN=1 - Scandinavia http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18860& amp; amp; amp; amp;PN=2 - Prog Videos on the net http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19749& amp; amp; amp;FID=3 - German Folk Prog http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20015& amp; amp;PN=1 - Russian prog http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20019& amp; amp;PN=2 - Hungarian prog http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19927& amp; amp;PN=1 - Japanese prog http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19985& amp; amp;KW=US+ US prog http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20104& amp; amp;KW=italian http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18490& amp; amp;KW=italian http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17371& amp; amp;KW=italian http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17066& amp; amp;KW=italian Thanks for these thread starters, for letting us know of lesser and unknown bands!

Thank you!
I have some more good stuff to recommend but I will instead re-recommend the Deluge Grander - August In The Urals which I mentioned in a post in this page above.
Also, I recommended in a post above the Zeuhl band Eider Stellaire and I since have added to PA. So you are welcome to go to their page.
There are some more RIO/Avant/Zeuhl (ZAR) additions coming soon as well as the addition of Deluge Grander which I plan to do next week hopefully.

I have discovered so many bands with your help Assaf, that it's pointless trying to name one or even two. I really appreciate your efforts! Keep it up!
I still read this thread, BTW, although I haven't posted anything in a while. |

I also recommend this band to anyone interested in Krautrock, Space rock, Avant-garde and minimalism. Their Prospekt album is great. Here's the review at allmusic.com: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=&sql=10:kl8ibkk9aakn |

I am thinking about buying some of their albums to replace the mp3's, on Aquarius which seem to be in close relations with the band, or at least with Jussi.
What albums do you have?
There is this Ebay auction going on for Miljard, which I am still thinking whether or not to increase the bid or not... It ends tomorrow, so I better make up my mind.
Thanks for still bearing with me and my posts.
Have a good weekend
