The only reason I know about these bands is because of progarchives.com. I live in Ontario, Canada and I have never met anyone else who appreciates the music I listen to. I'm just curious to see who else likes these bands: Oaksenham - (going to write a review for Conquest of the Pacific shortly...) 7 For 4 - (going to write a review for Contact shortly...) Ken's Novel Beardfish Karcius Speechless Senogul Parallel Mind Le Silo and of course I listen to LTE, ACT, PT and Ayreon although I know most people on these forums do too. I'm just curious to see if anyone else has discovered these amazing but vastly underrated bands. ------------- ----Progressive Rock---- is ---Music For Musicians--- |

| Of those I've only heard Karcius and I think they're good but I can't say I've totally gotten into them yet. I need to play them some more before I'll know if they're keepers for me. If you like Karcius you might like Ohm too. |

You should look in the forum threads for threads about these.
I like Oaksenham, Beardfish, Karcius (great band), Speechless (great fusion/rock, you should visit Prog Ears), Senogul (One of the best albums releases this year imo), Le Silo (fantastic two albums). ------------- http://hangingsounds.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - Hanging Sounds http://www.progarchives.com/ProgRockShopping.asp" rel="nofollow - PA Index of prog music vendors |

Thanks for the replies, I didn't realize every band was categorized so specifically. It's good to know there's other people out there who can appreciate these bands!

Hello Dante.dio First congratulations with your efforts to discover the lesser and unknown new progrock bands, my favorite is Senogul, I discovered this band on The Spanish Progressive Rock Page (the homepage has a section with new and interesting bands) and I have added this amazing and adventurous new Spanish band to Prog Archives, very soon an interview with Senogul by Avestin and me will be published. Other good bands I like in your post are Beardfish (I saw them on Symforce Festival this year, very dynamic and energetic) and Ken's Novel, my Belgian neighbours, worth to check out! Second, I have been in Ontario, we stayed at the home of friends in Windsor and later visited Toronto, it looks a little bit like the flat landscapes with the many farms in Holland |

Can't really recommend any of the others, but Oaksenham is fantastic. ------------- a.k.a. H.T. http://riekels.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow - http://riekels.wordpress.com |

Thanks all, I'm glad to see Oaksenham is appreciated by lots of people although I am surprised that nobody has mentioned 7 For 4, I think they're outstanding! Anyway, I'm a drummer and pianist and I absolutely love odd time signatures. All my friends do not understand my music and I'm frustrated that I can't relate to anyone on a musical basis. Next year I'm heading out on an Exchange to another country for the whole year (I find out my country next month) but I ranked Norway, Sweden and Finland all really high so I hope I end up in Scandinavia, since lots of good prog seems to originate there. As my sig says, I really believe being a musician enhances your appreciation for prog. When I listen to music, I want to listen to music that I can't just sit down and play on drums or piano, which includes most mainstream music.
Yeah southwestern Ontario is pretty flat but as you move north it gets very rocky (Canadian Shield) with plenty of lakes. ------------- ----Progressive Rock---- is ---Music For Musicians--- |

Well, I haven't heard any of the bands mentioned yet, but I'm from Ontario! That's what counts, right? lol
What area are you from, by the way?

I own some albums of 4 bands out of 9. Also I'll buy Beardfish's album soon. But I have never seen Ken's Novel. The most favorite album is Le Silo / 3.27830. Oaksenham / Woden's Eve Live is next to it. |

| Oaksenham and Senogul sound very good, as far as I am concerned. |

I'm from Stratford, it's between London and Kitchener, about 2 hours southwest of Toronto. You? It's good to see that these bands aren't 100% obscure! Does anyone out there listen to Parallel Mind, 7 For 4 or Speechless? Wow it's good to come onto these forums and discuss progressive rock with people who appreciate it in the same way I do! ------------- ----Progressive Rock---- is ---Music For Musicians--- |

I have only heard Beardfish from your list but think they're excellent and I have all 3 of their albums.

I'm only really familiar with 2 of the bands on your list.
I'm not really into 7 for 4. They're superb musicians, but 'Time' strikes me as a rather cold display of virtuosity for its own sake. I feel the same way about LTE, and Mats-Morgan (if you're familiar with them).
Le Silo, on the other hand, I think are an excellent band - you should really check out the Koenjihyakkei album Angherr Shisspa if you like them (same pianist, in one of Yoshida Tatsuya's many bands). ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'

Well 'Time' was not nearly as strong as 'Contact' IMO. There's only one song on 'Time' that has made my Top 100 prog list (which is frequently updated) but I have the majority of songs from 'Contact' high up on that list. They are releasing their third album in January. I think I'm the only one who can't wait!  *goes to check out Koenjihyakkei* ------------- ----Progressive Rock---- is ---Music For Musicians--- |

Le Silo are terrific, and for symph Oaksenham are one of the best new acts ...avoid the new LTE project  |
Posted By: dante.dio
Date Posted: November 29 2007 at 22:31
I concur, it really is nothing special. The only LTE songs I really enjoy are from LTE2, specifically 'When The Water Breaks' and 'Biaxident'. Other than that, their music gets old fast for me. I'm surprised Le Silo has so many followers, I thought they were one of the least publicized bands in the list. As for Oaksenam, does anyone know if they're releasing another album?! I haven't been able to track down anything and it would be a shame if they stopped after 'Conquest'! ------------- ----Progressive Rock---- is ---Music For Musicians--- |

Cambridge! (Kitchener-Waterloo region)
I'll also throw out recommendations for Koenjihyakkei; they're one of my favourite modern bands.
