Can someone identify the unknown band and album, that I found in a YouTube video. The owner of the video does not answer to any questions, although there are may request to him to name the band on album.
The music is used in several of his videos, no reply to many requests to name the music. I give you a link to the video, that shows many obscure and rare groups and albums, but the music does not match to any of them.
The unknown band is heard at the beginning of the video for about 26 minutes. It seems, that the albums consists of only one song perhaps divided into many parts. In the owner's chanel other very obscure and rare music is used: Vita Nova, Live, Maelstrom, McOil, Captain Marryat, Cathedral, Exploit and others.
I searched in the "processrock library" and other lists for the music without any success. Also I posted the music in "WatZatSong". Nobody has information about the music. Perhaps someone in the Forum can help. Here is the link to the music:

Also, regarding the song you're looking for: I'm 99% sure the band is West German or Dutch judging by the fact the singer sings in English and has an accent. The drum sound to me sounds like a 1974-1978 recording.

I have checked both albums by My Solid Ground:

My Solid Ground – My Solid Ground

My Solid Ground – SWF-Session + Bonus Album 2001

They have a similar sound and style, but they does not match.

That's great! Though it has one of the most un-Prog album covers I've ever seen

Yesterday I started a systematic search in the "progarchives.com" library beginning with letter "A". I'm happy the the bands name does not start with letter "Z". The search could have lasted month.

For some reason, the solving of this particular mystery got me more excited than the solving of the TMS mystery (Like the Wind/FEX - Subways Of Your Mind). :D
