Zolar X had a single album titled timeless which was a space rock masterpiece



Asia Minor had a couple good songs



Autumn Tears (warning, very melancholy)



This is a barely known project featuring Toyah and her husband, who we all known and love as Robert Fripp. great stuff which sounds similar to 80s crimson but with Toyah at the helm vocally.




Very few people know this band too. I also did not see them here on the archive, oddly enough.



And how dareth I almost forget Bark Psychosis?

Zingale released one album in 1975, if you can put a side the very muddy mixing, you have quite a lot to discover.
Fusion, symphonic and above all progressive. Violin is especially wonderful!

Eh it's sorta my taste- it's not that I dislike symphonic rock- I just don't really like the band. I'd rate a few of Kruzenshtern & Parohod's album 5 stars no cuz they're Israeli- it's just music that I love!

Weidorje - Not sure if this is classified as obscure, but I wish more people knew about them and gave them a listen.
Fantastic stuff! Smile

Ditto to the above, I'm getting auto-downloads off this thread.  

In regard to obscure prog worth hearing, check out Dominique Guiot's "L'Univers De La Mer."

I guess Georgius would count as obscure. I just found about him and got his two albums, and they are really wonderful, he really should get more credit.

They're just flash objects (not malware infection), and I've had this happen before on this site (using Chrome browser) when people embed YouTube videos using the full URL instead of just the 11-digit identifier between the two sets of brackets, and they don't embed properly. Annoying problem I know, but just discard the download when Chrome prompts you that it might harm your computer.

Just about any good prog band that isn't Yes, Genesis, ELP, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, The Moody Blues, Jethro Tull, Rush, Marillion, Dream Theater and Porcupine Tree which is to say 99 percent of them.
