The stuff is really amazing and deserves to be added if you ask me. Seriously check this stuff out...it really has something special.

I recommend: WIM MERTENS "Integer valor integrale". This 3CD set will blow any progheads mind.

I was pursuing for some time now an album called Palimpseste by the French band Anamorphose. I have finallly gotten hold of it and I must say this is better than I had expected.
It is a live recording actually and it was released in 1986. It is mainly jazz-rock based with excellent toppings and great musicianship. The quality is rather good too. Truly one to hunt down, a great find.



I hope to add them to PA soon.


Another one I got acquainted with recently is the mixed band Carmen which released a Spanish theme album called -Fandangos in Space in 1973.
Here is their PA page - http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_BAND.asp?band_id=668

Their bio:
In the early seventies, the British-American group CARMEN broke new ground in rock music, combining the British flair for progressive rock with traditional Spanish folk themes into a very fresh, energetic and powerful new mix. The sound is centered around guitar, keyboards are used subtly but to good effect. On the whole, they are a rather hard band to describe ... "They sound only like themselves, because it IS so unique". Some vague comparisons could be made to JETHRO TULL, MEZQUITA (some of the Spanish themes), and TRIANA (the flamenco/prog combination).

CARMEN released three albums only: "Dancing On A Cold Wind", "Fandangos In Space", and "The Gypsies". It's hard to say which of the first two albums is better, both are excellent starters. Two great tastes that taste great together. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...!

Here is Erik's review:
CARMEN — Fandangos In Space
Review by erik neuteboom (erik neuteboom)
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Symphonic Prog Expert
Many years ago a friend advised me to buy this album (funny, I own another LP version, from Paramount Records) because he knew I am a fan from flamenco (an ‘aficionado’). I’m still very grateful to him because “Fandangos in space” is one of the most amazing blends of folk and progrock, not to compare with other ‘folk-prog’ gems from LOS JAIVAS or TRIANA. The band features members from Spain and the UK, including David Allen (vocals, 6-string electric guitar and flamenco guitar) and ex-Jethro Tull drummer John Glascock (what’s in a name?!).

The album delivers the unique sound of Carmen in eleven varied compositions: often an exciting blend of rock (fiery electric guitar, powerful rhythms) and flamenco (guitar, handclapping) and an emphasis on the vocals featuring the very distinctive voice from David Allen (from a cynical undertone to a bit theatrical) and great vocal harmonies from most members, at some moments even in the Spanish language. A few songs or parts contain the captivating art of the flamenco guitar, including the tremolo technique (evoking “Recuerdos de la Alhambra” from Tarrega). Other tracks feature wonderful violin- Mellotron waves or some synthesizer flights. The music from Carmen sound not always accesible (you have to be up to the vocal overtones and flamenco rhythms) but it’s such a dynamic and adventurous prog, SPLENDID!!

As a proghead, a Tronmaniac and an aficionado I’m very excited about this album (as you must have noticed in my review). But when I took for the first time a look at the back cover picture from senora Angela Allen, I was stunned: what a gorgeous lady, dressed in a beautiful flamenco robe and .. she plays the Mellotron, THIS GAVE SUCH A SENSATIONAL EXTRA DIMENSION TO THE MUSIC WHILE LISTENING TO THIS ALBUM!!

Oh an argentinian band!

I recommend a man called Luis Alberto "el flaco" Spinetta and all his bands, Pescado Rabioso, Almendra, Spinetta Jade, Invisible and of course his solo works...the man is a genious, and a world inside itself
