All the rest are from mostly States, Kingdom and Germany





Raga rock is generally a sort of European or Euro-American music that is influenced by Indian music, even if that influence may seem superficial or amateur.
I like Indian music, both popular and classical, and I like some of the better raga-rock bands too, but raga-rock and Indian music are not the same thing, and most raga-rock bands will usually be from Europe or the states.

I disagree, I suppose, because I consider "Berlin school" a more appropriate name for what we pass of as Progressive Electronic here. Makes more sense than not including Aphex Twin.
 
The way I see it with Aphex Twin is the lack of rock. Nothing I've heard from AT has elements of rock IMO. Obviously I haven't heard everything.
 
Of course, the response is but neither is *insert "Berlin School" music act here* or *ditto*. Well thats possible. I know even less about PE than I do Aphex twin. Big smile

I don't understand why Merzbow is not in Progressive Electronic.

No longer a branch of Symphonic Dean, even when I don't agree, Italian Symphonic made more sense than RPI, because this new CATEGORY (Can't be a genre, because we have Symph, Neo, Fusion, Folk and even Hard bands in RPI), leads to comnfusion.
 
It's absurd to have a Jazz, a Symphonic and a Neo Prog bands al together when they don't have absolutely nothing musically in common except maybe that their members (in some cases not even all)  were born inside the Italian peninsula, because some sing in English and even in Latin.

^ A debateable point but IMO the USA/Canada has lead the way for prog in the last 10-15 years.
