Great that you discovered Harmonium and that you like it . I grew up with this music in the seventies in Montreal. They were huge in Quebec and Canada, but I did not know at all that Harmonium did go over the ocean or across the border. It's really fun to know that several people in Europe ( Finland etc...) and in United States know Harmonium. This group from the Province of Quebec did stand the test of time. They are part of the history of music. Harmonium deserved to be known all around the world.

Good thread E-dub! There were many,but for me it was albums like "Grave new world" from a genre that's not my favourite by any means,and this record from the STRAWBS just blew me away.Another was "If i could do it all over again,i'd do it all over you" from CARAVAN,amazing record.MUSEO ROSENBACH is another one,with the mellotron and heaviness from this great Italian band.Like i said though,there were many.

    I'd have to say that my biggest discoveries through this site have been Magma, VDGG, and Italian Symphonic. The Italian has been amazing, because there is so much good stuff out there.

Heh, I started listening to prog in around 1988 or so, and I STILL am discovering great 70's bands I hadn't heard before (or even heard of)  Big smile  Harmonium being the most recent example that has popped up in this thread.  Also, Comus was a big one for me along with the Refugee album.  Prog Archives has had a big hand in expanding my awareness of prog both old and new.

As for 2006, I have only picked up a few things.  The best by far to my ears is LuxAde by La Maschera Di Cera (but I'm an Italian prog nut), and Si Parte 1 from Nemo.  Other good ones were Paradox Hotel (Flower Kings), and A place In the Queue (Tangent).  I have the latest Pain Of Salvation, but haven't had a chance to listen to it yet.

I try to spread out my purchases over old and new stuff.  There is so much of both I haven't heard yet that I really want to keep up with both.

Harmonium is amazing, maybe the best thing I've ever listen....
Thank you, and
