I'm quite impressed with a lot of countries and how they've developed into progressive music.  I have a wide selection from various nations.


Same here.  Titles from around the globe.  Russian bands always seem to pleasantly surprise me.

Please no more pictures Wink
 
Was any Zaum released on CD?
 
Macroscream's second album was much better (and had a harmless cover)
 
Didn't like the lastest Nuova Era to much.
 
Does any one remember this one?

Ah HA, and now you can't UNSEE it ever again, Jim, right?!

Sorry, man....I was literally heading back here to post `sorry folks, that's easily the worst comment I've ever posted on the Archives forum', but you replied first!

If anything, it's more how screwy my brain must be wired, because ever since I noticed that cover I've always thought `Hmmmm, that cover....kinda looks like....'

Guru Guru's `Hinten' eat your heart out!

I definitely haven't got any of there albums yet, Jim, but a few months back I caught up on Macroscream's `Sisyphus'. For some reason I was sure you reviewed it, but perhaps I was mistaken! Did you at least used to recommend it or something?

I still get a bit of an immature guilty laugh from the cover, I always seem to think it's of someone pushing a giant testicle against a hairy ass! (Sorry Macroscream!)

That's great, Noni/David, that's all we can hope for, and hope you haven't been too disappointed with too many you've picked up! Also, feel free to make recommendations yourself anytime. There's anyways plenty of titles that can easily slip by!

I've also dug out my CD's of that Ellesmere album and the recent Nuova Era, so will listen to them over the next couple of days.

*****

A great review from Matti on the front page right now for a relatively recent live album from Fabio Zuffanti's band. I've got this one but have never listened to it (again!), so it's good to see the3 disc getting some attention. Matti's been delivering some sterling RPI/Italian prog reviews of late:

But speaking of pastoral modern Italian albums, I'm sure you would have picked up that `Les Châteaux de la Loire' disc by Ellesmere, which features the bass player from Taproban?



http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=50792

I've got it but not nearly listened to it enough yet. Very special though!


What's your verdict on this album..  Have not got this yet!...

I haven't listened to it again since I bought it some months ago, so I'll dig that one out too! I remember listening to it at the time and thinking it was lovely, very much in a pretty and gentle Anthony Phillips (ex Genesis) manner, and he himself is on the album.

But there's two very positive reviews on the site from two good contributors and excellent frequent reviewers for the Archives here who've both given it a very positive review if that helps!


So far been enjoying some of these requests posted on this thread.   I managed to get most of these albums and so far enjoying what I'm hearing. Tongue
