ESTA'S "MEDITERRANEAN CROSSROADS" IS REALLY GOOD, FROM 1996 Check out "Deror Yik'ra" as an example (originally Song 1, now Song 9) https://mp3.pm/search/s/f/esta+deror+yik+ra/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHfsUbpKyO0&t=2729s Edited by Boojieboy - May 20 2024 at 09:04 |

Aperco is an Israeli contemporary prog-rock band known for their unique blend of musical influences and intricate compositions. Their music can be described as a fusion of progressive rock elements with hints of classical, jazz, and pop undertones. Aperco's sound is characterised by complex arrangements, technical proficiency, and thought-provoking lyrics that often delve into deep philosophical themes. The band's debut album, "The Battle," from 2016, showcases their musical prowess and creativity, drawing inspiration from 70s progressive rock bands while infusing their own innovative style, creating a sonic landscape that captivates listeners with its depth and complexity. |

There's Sanhedrin. I don't know their music but apparently they were Camel influenced. Also a band called Trespass who are pretty good. Both are from Israel.

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

I really like this song by Simplexity (Egypt)!
It's also important to note that the vocalist's English accent is excellent. Clear neutral pronunciation, no audible foreign accent, impressively close to a native speaker. |

I just got done listening to Al Basim and it's a little too congested for me, but would love to hear some Arab 70s prog with some more melody, and not obsessed with how fast and complex you can play. But I did find a cool 70s prog from around the world site (obscure) https://www.youtube.com/@70sMusicParadise

Unless I missed them in the OP list, Greg Walker of Syn-phonic seems to list a few more countries from the Middle-East like Algeria, Bahrein, Iraq (different than what you cite) and Kuwait. Not sure you intended to cite India or nnot.
And from Tunisia, one can think of Dhafer Youssef in tne same range of styles/genres.

[/QUOTE] From my collection, besides Overlook, I would recommend Seventh Story and Audio Diplomacy. I have Sodom & Gomorrah, but it's my least favorite. [/QUOTE] Thanks. I noticed S&G is the highest rated besides Overlook: I may just have to listen to all beforehand.
