I've been spinning that `Saat' album since I picked it up recently a heap, Sam, a really fine album, and I agree 100% that it should be listed under Krautrock on the site here. Much of it may have a grounding in folk, but all the trippy electronics and fuzzier moments are a world beyond mere `folk'...some of the instrumental moments even reminded me a little of the early Deuter albums, with a touch of Amon Duul 2 thrown in.

^ I didn't listen to the debut but it's supposed to be pure Folk, it's probably why it's under Prog Folk... and maybe it's too accessible for Krautrock, it has to be weird to keep people away from it :P

Actually, that's a very valid point, I wonder if it's available to spin on Youtube? I was already thinking of approaching a review for `Saat' sometime soon, but it would be best to hear the debut....we might have another Asgard on our hands!

Which reminds me to look into their debut, seeing as how much I (well, WE!) dug the follow-up!

Oh yeah, isn't it?! Classic kosmische musik. I like how this one is different from for example Zeit with the latter being much denser and Atem being much more liquid and generally more "floaty" if that makes any sense.

Yesterday:
Lard Free - I'm Around About Midnight

Porcupine Tree - On The Sunday of Life (I don't understand why this is considered the worst PT album. It's incredibly trippy, certainly one of my favourites.)
Le Porte Non Aperte - Goblin
Aksak Maboul -  Onze Danses Pour Combattre la Migraine (Cool album, very accessible for RIO.)
Pristine - Detoxing
Jaga Jazzist - Starfire (One of the answers to the annoying question "is progressive music really progressing?".)

Thumbs Up Glad you enjoyed it! It is indeed very accessible for RIO, but still quite uncompromising at the same time.

Karuna Khyal - Alomoni 1985 (insane Japanese psychedelic rock)
Popol Vuh - Affenstunde
Datetenryu - 1971 (another wild psychedelic rock album from Japan, though not as experimental as Karuna Khyal)

Oh yeah, Asgard...that's the bees knees, baby!

Ha, is that the Saga album with the ringmaster on the front?

Have you at least heard their first four albums? They're better than that one, although I could hardly consider myself a massive fan of them. Start with the debut and get up to `Worlds Apart' (and/or maybe the live album `In Transit') and see if you like them better.

Hey Tymon (and Sam!), I might have a nice obscure recommendation for you. It's a one-off rarity from 1972 from a long vanished German group, a kind of acid-folk/jazz/Kraut/whatever deal, very eclectic. I've had the LP reissue for some time, but have just given it the first spin again now for a couple of years. I forgot how beautiful it is, and quite rough around the edges!

^Niiiice!!! Will have to check the whole album out tomorrow, I really like what I'm hearing from the snippets of that YouTube video. Thank you for the recommendation! Smile Speaking of German progressive folk, do you know Bröselmaschine? Another lost gem right there, a bit more on the oriental side, though.

Sorry, I did not notice your reply until now. I felt exactly the same way. LOL One of the craziest and rawest recotds I've heard in a while.

Today for me:
Zacht Automaat - I Can Feel the Mold in Me (dead slow, no wake)
Lone - Everything is Changing Colour
Banten - Banten

Yup! Big smile

Yes it is. I heard the albums you mention but took a chance on this one. I only paid like 2€ for it so it's all good Tongue

what did you think of those "latter day" renaissance albums?  We have a bit of a contingent here, especially the prog folk deliettantes, who think ASFAS is their best, though there is obviously close competition.  I keep forgetting to check out other Caravan besides ITLOGAP.  Have you tried Fuchsia's "comeback" album released a few years ago?  Surprisingly good and updated but still recognizable.  I enjoeyed the Sundenfall album.  Try "Midnight Circus" or the group O.W.L.

Today I added some albums by Basque folkie Benito Lertxundi and listened to quite a few of them.  A bit mellow, like a cross betweeen Alan Stivell and Gilles Servat more so than any Basque groups I've heard.  He was in the Basque underground movement from early on, so his themes may be anything but mellow.
