Thanks Assaf for the JJ vid. That was a great performance, just as good, if not better than the studio version.
 
Thank you cannon for Polyphony, yet another group I've never heard of. Mellotron Storm's review of the album was good.

Every zeuhl/jazz-fusion fan should try Eider Stellaire's debut.

Two songs from Czech band Uz Jsme Doma just got added today. They are listed here under RIO/Avant. I have yet to hear a full album from them. The first song is called "Hlina" from their 1995 album Pohadky ze Zapotrebi(Fairytales From Needland):
 
 
The second song is the title track to their 1999 album Usi(Ears):
 
 
Although I haven't heard a full album yet, this is my favourite of the songs I have heard:
 
 
And here's a great recent interview with the band:
 
 
You can read this long, informative interview while you listen to their songs!
 
Cheers

Reminded me of a Nirvana/Henry Cow hybrid. Very unique zravkapt.Cool
 
 
Eclectic prog rockers Bubu from Argentinia. Many different influences. Mostly instrumental with some vocals in Spanish.

Thanks for that! I was eventually going to post this song from the same album, "Suenos de Maniqui":

 
IMO, neither song is as good as the 19-minute "El Cortejo de un Dia Amarillo". As of today, I was the last person to review the album here. I gave it 5 stars. You can read my review on the artist page:

Touch were an American band who only released a self-titled album in 1968. They are listed here under Proto-Prog, but as far as I'm concerned the two following songs are 100% 'prog'.
 
I haven't heard the whole album yet, but this is a bonus song from the CD version called "The Spiritual Death Of Howard Greer (alternative version)":
 
 
Check out the f-bomb at the endLOL
 
This is probably the best song from the album, though:

^^^^^ I have the album on vinyl. Great alternate version of "Howard Greer." "Friendly Birds" is another great track from the album.
 
Here's a dark,gloomy, heavy Swiss Krautrock band, McChurch Soundroom with only one release, Delusion. German Import CD.

Thanks for that! I've seen that cover on the PA home page before, but never heard their music. That was a good song.

Samurai were a UK band that evolved from the group The Web. They are listed as Crossover here and made one self-titled album in 1971. I never owned this album, but I have heard it and it's good. I've heard these guys described as a "British Steely Dan". This is the song "Maudie James":
 
 
I think this is the best song from the album:
 
 
I'll post a song from The Web tomorrow.

The Web were a group from the UK who are listed here under Jazz-Rock/Fusion. Their first album from 1968 is called Fully Interlocking. This album hasn't even been rated yet on PA. I've never heard any of their albums. This is from the first album, it's called "War Of Peace":

^thanks for the vid!
 
Here is a song from American Progressive Electronic duo Zombi. I've only heard their last album, Spirit Animal from 2009. This song is called "Legacy" from their 2006 album Surface To Air:

There are a few groups named Ars Nova, but this one is an all-female Japanese Symphonic Prog trio. This song is called "Kali - Demolition And Massacre" from their 1996 album The Goddess Of Darkness:

It's good to know that National Health is getting less obscure every year. Their second album Of Queues And Cures from 1978 is currently rated 4.19. You can read my review and others on the album page:
 
 
Even though they are not that obscure anymore I thought this would be a good excuse to post this:
 
 
...which I think is better than this:

A song now from Swedish Prog Folk group Kebnekaise. I've only heard the streaming songs on PA, of which I liked this one the best. From their self-titled second album from 1973 this is "Rattvikarnas ganglat":

Here's a song from American Tech/Extreme Prog Metal outfit Animals As Leaders. I think AAL are fairly well known to most metalheads today, but I don't think too many proggers in general have heard them. I haven't heard their album yet but I want to at some point. From the self-titled 2009 album this is "Inamorata":
