Have any of you heard about this Bulgarian band (sometime referred to as FSB)? First two albums (1977 and 1978) called "Non-stop" and "FSB-II" are REAL PROG!!!! On the debut album they do a couple of covers for Gentle Giant including "Th Power and The Glory". Band Admissions Team - do you know this band? It really worth including to Progarchives!!! ------------- PF, Genesis, KC, Yes, VdGG, GG, Camel, Jethro Tull |

The first album (Non-Stop) is really funny, as it’s basically
all cover versions! They do some Gentle Giant tunes (re-thought
as instrumentals), three songs from Patrick Moraz’s The Story of
“i” (two with new Bulgarian lyrics) and Le Orme’s “Amico di ieri”
(ditto). The only tune I haven’t been able to identify is “My Town”,
which may actually be a [gasp!] original. Their second album is composed entirely of originals, but is very much in the style of The Story of “i”. If you like that album, you’ll like them. They fell off precipitously in quality after that, though. Incidentally, this thread ought to be moved. It’s pretty obvious to me that FSB do indeed make music!  ------------- [IMG] http://www.denness.net/rpi/u/Progbear/fs/8/w/500/cp/2/s/5/si g.png"> |
