Hey guys

I just got Comus's "Song to Comus" (I think, the one with Drip Drip).  It is incredible.

I wanted to know people's opinions of any similar prog folk bands. 

I've heard good things about Jan Dukes De Gray.  Anyone have "Mice and Rats in the Loft"?

There's already been a thread last week where I posted about both albums mentioned.

I'm listening to Spirogyra as I type this.

I would try them, I haven't heard Comus or Jan Dukes de Grey (I'm in the minority, I know...), so I can't say if they are in the least bit similar, but I have to say Spirogyra seem to be one of the best Progfolk bands.

Try the French band, Tangerine, as well.

Tangerine is one my studying desk as could get approval soon, I'm studying their case (a bit too West Coast, though) as I am with Mormos
 
 
JDDG is highly recommended, and as I PM'd to Tiresias there is the major epic from them as streaming to water your mouth, until you(ve bought the albums (not expensive at Syn-phonic)
 
 
Spirogyra 's first and third albums are incredible as well
 
Also try Tea And Symphony's incredible Asylum For The Musically Insane
 
 
here is the link to last week's thread

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
