^^ I'm hardly an expert on the band, I only heard In The Plain, but as far as I remember, it didn't have much to do with prog.

Anybody else checked out new norwegian band Gargamel?

Really love their album. I understand it may not be everybodies cup of tea, but people should give their album a chance, need repeated spins to sink in

Thanks. If anyone is curious about any of those bands I can expand, I just knew I wouldn't possibly be able to describe all the ones I liked :).

I posted something up on this topic a few days back, but for some unexplained reason it was moved to the "Non-Prog" thread Confused

Earlier this week, I heard a track by a couple of Swedish guys by the name of Sylvan & Bonamici. I'd heard that they do stuff in the style of Wind & Wuthering era Genesis, and managed to find an MP3 of one of their tracks, the 13 minute "Quest For The Last Virtue". It's a terrific track which I'm sure a lot of PA people will enjoy.

Unfortunately, its the only track by this band that I've managed to find. I don't think they've actually released a full CD yet, so finding more material may prove tricky.

If anyone knows any more about this band, or manages to find any more samples, I'd be grateful to hear from you! Smile

They are Italian and have their own website somewhere with a bunch of stuff. They are both members of Progressive Ears so you would be able to find them there.

I saw it on amazon.co.uk
I know that's not the solution you were looking for though Wink

Focus on the music... Focus!

I just got Haikara S/T after years of searching through a web shop on e-bay. Legit reissue from Finland.

Finland has produced some great, yet very little known music:

As far as I noticed only one poster mentioned Wigwam and Tasavallan Presidentti, which are great!
No one mentioned a great neo-prog band that goes by the of Ageness, and luckily some ppl remembered Höyry-Kone too :-)

And how the heck is it possible that no one mentioned Kingston Wall? C'mon, they're like the greatest heavyrockprogpsych..whatever band that ever existed.

And of course it goes without saying that Flower Kings is a great act, too.

Really don't mind if you sit this one out.

I mentioned Kingston Wall! Their second album is totally awesome; and it is now back in print too, Wayside has it for $16 I think.

Anglagard has a tendency to make me cream myself.

Oh darn, sorry smcfee, must've been tired when I viewed this thread
But still it's quite surprising how little known KW is considering how awesome their music is
