Topic: any prog memorabilia to ask from berlin trip?
Posted: March 27 2010 at 13:19

Hey all,
My sister is traveling to Berlin and i was wondering if there's anything i could ask her to bring me from the trip that is related to prog,
i enjoy prog very much and i like listening to all kinds of sub-genres like kraut, folk, symphonic, acid, eclectic,
well too many to name (too many bands and genres)

do you guys might have a suggestion?

There are plenty of good prog and prog-related bands in former East Germany:

Stern-Combo Meissen http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=994

electra

Lift

Bayon http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=3149

Panta Rhei http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=2200

early Karat albums

More info (in German): http://www.ostmusik.de// (click Deutchland at the left side of the page).

And this collection of rock and prog epics http://www.amazon.de/Die-Extralangen-Xxl-Rock-Klassiker/dp/B002JIOQ5Q/ref=pd_bxgy_m_img_a

is a very good introduction to prog scene of former DDR. And it is not expensive - less than 10 euro for three 70+ minute CDs.
