	Hello and welcome! I am part of the small contingent of RIO/Avant fans mentioned in the above post. I am also technically still part of the genre team, though I haven't been active for a while. Another forum member, who is not RIO's biggest fan (understatement of the century ), gave us the nickname of "panheads" - which we are very proud of . Anyway, I am sure the other panheads will soon be here to welcome you.

	This has become the default RIO thread of the forum: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=50898. (There is also a part one to that thread, but it's a long time closed and may have been deleted.) Every once and awhile there will be a thread on a new release in this field, but it will usually sink fairly quickly. But there is a small and dedicate group here that loves the RIO/Avant, so by all means start and participate in some discussion. :) Welcome to PA.

	Here´s one!! I think I am not the biggest here, but really love Mothers of Invention sixties albums, loved really much Samla Mamma´s Måltid, also liked some Henry Cow although started to interest more about Slapp Happy when hearing their great collaboration album "Desperate Straights". If punk is not a bad thing to you, really recommend "Thinking Fellers Union Local 282" to you! There are also really many weird bands put into postpunk or something, like the Red Krayola, Pere Ubu, the Birthday Party, the Pop Group etc. You´re highly welcome!

	Hello R.I.O. Fans Are there any actual R.I.O. fans out here I'm in desperate straights here stuck in the land of hip-hop-rap whatever & really bad country music aaaagh my worst nightmare come true I joined thinking that I would find fans of the genre of R.I.O. and to my dismay I can't find one page that has a post in the last month ,if I am looking in the wrong place could someone let me know please.One can only read so many album reviews. I got my love of the 60's soul music from my sister when she would play her 45's on her portable record player,my love for jazz and blues from my Dad who would come home from work on friday night and play his big band & Fats Waller and Oscar Peterson albums and my absolute love of classical music from my Mother who would play DeBussy while cooking dinner.Everything changed when I heard 4 distinct musicians though Miles Davis his album Sorcerer just floored me still does to this day,Jimi Hendrix never heard such notes before or since and then in the 70's I heard 2 that totally changed every thing for me Frank Zappa have not been the same since then I bought this weird album with a sock on the cover spent my allowance on it Henry Cow that record opened so many doors for me pertaining to what I would listen to up until now still amazes me. To this day I am still very fond of jazz & blues music nothing else like it for my ears,I can't imagine not listening to some John Lee Hooker while BBQ'ing a big piece of meat on my smoker while nursing an ice cold brew in 90 degree heat or hearing some old motown or cajun while making a pot of gumbo and dancing in the kitchen with a lovely woman but when I need to listen to some tunes that I really enjoy I will put some Art Zoyd or Univers Zero ,Gatto Marte ( which I found out about from a now closed blog) and if I want to get in a rowdy mood maybe some Secret Chiefs 3 although some of the stuff is nothing more than noise other stuff is incredible,just found 2 new bands - groups that I started listening to tonight Thinking Plaque & Far Corner which I really like alot think I will need more time with this music.I still listen to the 4 musicians-bands that changed what I listen to and always will,but what I have found with the R.I.O. genre is that there is so much more under one umbrella the choices seem endless and I look forward to having some insightful discussions.
