As much as i love Steely Dan, Oingo Boingo, Sparks etc, i would purge them in a hearbeat from a prog site if i could :) 

we all male mistakes and indeed SD doesn't belong IMHO
sparks as well/
Hell I had Dead Can Dance entered in PAEmbarrassed

Sorry i'm just not convinced. Why don't you consider them at prog folk since they are primarily a folk band? 

That's what I was getting at in my previous post Wink

I dunno. There are so many REAL prog bands that still aren't on this site. Why do we care about bands like Sume? If they weren't from Greenland nobody would even consider them. Sounds like you all just want a band from Greenland so bad you're willing to compromise progginess for novelty.

Duh. I mean, I pretty much said that in my first post in this thread. xD

I'm willing to put Sume under Denmark (just like a Faroë band would be), so that's not my driving force.
RYM lists them as Danish.


Nope, when I hear their later 70'smusic, I hear the typical early 70's soundscapes. 
I'd even say that I hear something of Culpeper Orchard or BRI or Midnight Sun.

^ 70s soundscapes don’t mean progressive

Sume is definitely psychedelic but that is not synonymous with progressive either

I’d say advocate for prog related if you’re set on getting them added

BTW Culpepper Orchard’s first album is definitely progressive with time signature deviations but their following albums are pretty much pure folk so if it wasn’t for their debut wouldn’t be here either

Even Sume’s so-called most progressive album isn’t progressive at all

I guess TYR would prefer to be listed as Far Oer instead of Denmark

I think the reason some PA Collaborators want to list Sumé as Danish band as opposed to a Greenlandic one might as well be simply not to perpetuate the 'novelty factor'.

^ we're not so strict here. Even though Nektar never lived in England they are still listed as UK band here.

If they do get added i'm ok with Greenland because that's where they spent their days as a band

That can be edited, give us the correct information. Smile

^ Nektar was a bunch of English ex-pats who left the UK and moved to Germany where they formed and remained

I've suggested changing their nationality to Germany and surprisingly received pushback

Although i still think they should be listed under Germany it's not worth the time to pursue really
