SI Music

Dutch indie label SI Music were among the few providers of sophisticated rock in the 1990's. Or at least of the few relatively well known at the time. From their first release in 1990 until they closed their doors in 1996 they released many gems, in particular in the style most tend to refer to as Neo-Progressive rock.

Below is a list of all their known releases. Links to artist and album pages in the Progarchives database have been added when applicable, same goes for links to Spotify.

Suggestions to the Admins, Olav.

Blyndsyde - currently facing rejection in the heavy prog team for being non-prog I believe. And I suspect you'd have to subject the neo team to water torture before they would accept the band. Have a go if you feel like it :-)

Oh well, more labels to cater for anyhow. I don't remember if I have managed to check all the WMMS bands, but there are still tons and tons and tons of prog labels yet to make such lists as this one for and to check their releases against the database. Luna Negra and Rock Symphony to mention just two of the plentiful I have yet to take a look at...

I don't have any Van Otterdyke, and just the one L&T album, but I need to drop Richard a line thanking him for the new Karda Estra album that arrived yesterday so I'll ask him what is available - sure he'll happily oblige. So will let you know how I get on with that.

Hey, I was thinking too about Van Otterdyke the last few days, finding out that it hasn't been added to the database. I have the lp "The Sirens" and there's definitely prog on it. I'd say it's crossover prog.
