They would give a nice prog band if they added a classy guitar player and some jazzy rhythms.

Has anyone seen this new MP3 download site? It’s got some …. on there and its all free to download along with quite a few other ‘names’. They’re giving it away free as it’s got a cheeky advert at the beginning and it’s not as irritating as I first thought as well, I’ve been listening to music from there all day now and I haven’t got fed up with it yet.

 

No DRM or anything either!

 

 Check it out at www.we7.com

Ursula Minor (France/Tunisia) is a psychedelic band that offers its full album for listen/download on their myspace:
 
Excellent psychedelic experience (you'll hear some evident influences like TMV, PF and others).

In my anticipation for the forthcoming Birds & Buildings album (should have a promo soon, courtesy of Dan Britton, who I greatly admire as a musician and composer), let me remind you of this splendid new act which will hopefully be added as soon as the album is released (I'll definitely push the addiition).

I have so much Polish prog to recommend, but I'm listening right now to Endless Lunatic by After.
 
I would never had guessed they were Polish but a great job indeed.
Not sure why the band aren't listed on these hallowed pages, but it was nice to know that Colin Bass features on this great album Thumbs%20Up

A band found here at PA that doesn't get enough mention:

The Dear Hunter Thumbs%20Up

Great crossover prog that deserves to be discussed in way more posts than right now.

Check out the band Fair to Midland - Album is Fables From a Mayfly.
 
Probably considered more alt-rock than Prog, but they have a great sound with some "prog" elements.  To me, they sound like a harder version of dredg.  Clap

I just got my copy of Cosmic Nomads "Millennium." I will be posting a review of it soon, but I just had to mention it. Wow, I thought "Vultress" would be a hard act to follow, but this is really good. You get the same Hammond/guitar/bass extravaganza, but the theme is classical music. They do a great job of adapting the themes, and rocking like there's no tomorrow.

Francis Dhomont's Frankenstein Symphony
 
A fantastic journey of sounds, by this electro-acoustic composer.
 

ASP 0978
Release Date: January 1, 1997

A hybrid thing in four movements, made of cut-up pieces, pasted, assembled, sowed parts that are alike and contrasted, and that I have named, for obvious reasons, the Frankenstein Symphony: an unusual electroacoustic adventure.

Armed with a scalpel and a splicing (operational) block, I sampled several morphological organs from the the works of 22 composers and friends (many of whom were students of mine), and with their imprudent blessings (on a stormy night?), brought to life this little acoustic monster which I hold particularly close to my heart.

-- Francis Dhomont, Montreal, February 1997

Dhomont, a French-Canadian pioneer in electroacoustic forays, swallows the concept of a compilation and finds it unpalatable. Though Frankenstein is along similar lines, musically, as the Drones series on Asphodel (Storm of Drones, A Swarm of Drones, the Throne of Drones), Dhomont takes his curatorship one step further, working pieces by friends, students, strangers, into a continuous whirlwind, a sprawling symphony of an engulfing nature.

And in the stomach of the beast created? The symphony cobbles together pan lids, guillotines, the opened jaws of lions, digital thumps, bumps, squeaks, cars, trucks, trees, tubes, a brass band, German orators, a few scrapy plates, the clanking of bridles, accordions, harpsichords, kindergarteners with slide whistles, frogs, and the duck's-ear-view of a city.

Along with them, many electroacoustic composers' talents are directed most usefully at creating atmospheres, films without pictures, blind tableaus. Along with Canadians Ned Bouhalassa, Yves Daoust, Gilles Gobeil, Daniel Leduc, Robert Normandeau, Mario Rodrigue, Emmanuel Madan, Stephane Roy, Claude Schryer, Roxanne Turcotte, and Annette Vande Gorne (most of them knows for their work on the label Diffusion i Media), there are 11 more all unwinding their tape from different corners of the world.

Track Listing

  1. Allegro 16m41s
  2. Andante 15m35s
  3. Scherzo (giocoso) 14m30s
  4. Finale 16m41s
 
 
AMG:
It's a wonder no one did a long piece with this title before. Like Mary Shelley's creation, Francis Dhomont's Frankenstein Symphony is stitched out of stolen fragments of other musical pieces, woven together into a coherent, workable whole. Though there are some philosophical parallels, this isn't like John Oswald's Plunderphonics or Negativland's culture jamming: rather than use familiar themes and melodies, Dhomont culled his bits and bobs from friends and former students who gave their blessings to be part of this experimental venture. But just as Doctor Frankenstein's experiment looked, more or less, like a man, Dhomont stitches together his purloined elements and reworks them in such a way that Frankenstein Symphony is entirely of a piece with his earlier electro-acoustic works. Somewhat sarcastically arranged, and named in four movements like a proper classical-era symphony, the 64-minute piece consists of layers of tape manipulations and musique concrete, with reassuring hints of traditional harmony and melody appearing in the music's middle distance and then slowly transforming into something entirely different. While not a major work on the scale of Dhomont's Foret Profonde, Frankenstein Symphony is an intriguing idea skillfully realized.
~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide
 
 
Dhomont is one of the key historical figures in the INA GRM electroacoustic scene. This new release is a hi-fidelity speaker-ripping college of sound that Dhomont has put together utilizing material from composers such as Christian Calon, Yves Daoust, Stéphane Roy, Robert Normandeau and many others. It's as energetic and forceful and disruptive as anything to emerge from the this scene in years and highly recommended to anyone remotely interested in this stuff.

"A hybrid thing in four movements, made of cut-up pieces, pasted, assembled, sowed parts that are alike and contrasted, and that I have named for obvious reasons, the Frankenstein Symphony: an unusual electroacoustic adventure. Armed with a scalpel and a splicing (operational) block, I sampled several morphological organs from the works of 22 composers and friends (many of whom were students of mine), and with their imprudent blessings, brought to life this acousmatic monster which I hold particular close to my heart. The elements were chosen amongst the works according to their typo-morphological affinities or contrasts, and with formal considerations in mind. Though I often allowed myself to play layering games, mixing works together, never did I use filtering, internal editing, transpositions or processing on the sounds...In the end, this is only a game, with no other goal than to bring to light how astonishingly rich acousmatic music can be." --Francis Dhomont.

Anybody here knows the Danish band Lis Er Stille? A friend of me send me a link to their myspace, and it's great music, I can't exactly put the genre to it, allthough "Symphonic" would be my first choice... It  really sound extremely good to my ears... Anyway...here's the link:
I didn't search the whole thread, but the "search" function turned up nothing so I guess they haven't been mentioned before...

Hi,
 
They're on the post-rock voting list and I reckon they'll be added to PA, even though there's only one vote there.
 
I liked what I heard from them so far.
