Your welcome Rivertree! I agree the production isn't the greatest.
So now a song from Belgian band Machiavel(Eclectic Prog). This song is called "Wisdom" from their 1977 album Jester. The only song I've heard by them as far as I know:
Enjoy!

Today a song from American band Deerhoof(Crossover Prog). This is the title track to their 2004 album Milk Man. This was the first song I heard from them when it first came out. I've since heard many songs but not a whole album. Check it out:
Enjoy!

Today a song from Swiss band Mainhorse(Symphonic Prog). This is where Patrick Moraz started out. They had one self-titled album in 1971. Another album was released years later. This song is called "God":
Enjoy!

Now a song from Italian group Pierrot Lunaire(Prog Folk). They are listed under Prog Folk because of their first album. Their second album, Gudrun from 1976, is more Avant-Prog. This is a song from that album called "Giovane Madre". I've heard one or two other songs from this album, sounds good. Here's the song:
Enjoy!

A song now from Finnish group Tasavallan Presidentti(Jazz Rock/Fusion). One of the earliest prog groups from Scandinavia. I don't know how well they are known there, but I think not many people around the world have heard of them. I've only heard a couple of songs from their first album. This song is called "Last Quarters" from the album Lambertland released in 1972.
Enjoy!

Just listened to all three songs. I really liked the last one, "Letters To God'. Will have to listen to them again. Thanks Snow Dog!

I like this more than Refugee. Also, it's a funny thing to visualize the enormous breakthrough from this vintage organ sound coming from Moraz's hands to the futuristic synths he provides on Relayer. Quite an evolution.

Thanks Alex!
Today is a song from Italian artist Franco Battiato(Rock Progressivo Italiano). He's well known in Italy, but I don't know how much outside Italy. Even his earliest albums were not widely known even in Italy. This song is called "Una Cellula" from his first album Fetus from 1972:
Enjoy!

Mainhorse is an excellent album, but I much prefer Refugee.

Today we have a song from Finnish group Alamaailman Vasarat(RIO/Avant-Prog). These guys grew out of the band Hoyry-Kone. This song is called "Vasaraasialainen" from the 2003 album Kaarmelautakunta. I've heard the two Hoyry-Kone albums, but other than this song I've only seen maybe two YouTube clips of AV. Here it is:
Enjoy! |
Love this song but I find their entire albums easily turn into a bit of a gimmick. I only have the Hoyry-Kone Huono Parturi which I find brilliant.

Thanks again Avestin. Supersister are on my ever growing wishlist.<p>
Okay, now a song from American artist Wulf Zendik(Indo-Prog/Raga Rock). This is the title track of his album Dance Of The Cozmic Warriorz released in 1987. I have no idea if the music was recorded in the 1980s or not. Check it out:
Enjoy! |
So this is the infamous Indo-Prog/Raga Rock? I only have the Shatki (Shakti?) debut album and know nothing about that scene. This one sounds like kraut though, same psych trance, love it!

Thanks for the Disconnect songs Snow Dog. "You'll Hear My Name Again Someday" caught me by surprise. For a second I thought I was listening to a country song.

Thanks Karl.

Enjoy!

Cool psych; I have the album, like to put it on when I want some psych which is quite often these days.

I love this group. I can see why some would think this is a one trick horse, but I enjoy their wacky style (there's an old interview here with them done by James where they never heard Klezmer and weren't aiming at that sound). This is a cool song by them.

I know of Akasha but don't have any album by them, but given this song, I should change that.

Like Akasha, I know of them but have yet to try a full album. This is a good track, I like the use of electronics to create this odd vibe and then the introduction of guitars. Again, another band to discover.

Again, a case of a band I've heard a few tracks from but never investigated beyond that. Haven't heard this song, pretty nice tune. I'll investigate further.

Ok, so this one I have the album for, and I like it. Representative of its time and those were good times

Yeah, I love this quirky band and their two albums, and I do prefer this album to the first. This is some weird stuff and I love it!

Good choice of a band and album; I like their melange of jazziness and folkish elements. I have their first 4 albums, all worthwhile getting.

This is probably the album I like best from him.

A nice album, but anything essential.
Here's a suggestion from me, the Polish band Osada VIda (who I interviewed for PA and reviewed their albums). I'd have liked to put a different song but this one is good as well, from their 3 Seats behind A Triangle album
