For quite a while now I have been on a kick where my main prog listening has been things like Guapo, Univers Zero, Present, Grails, Zaar, Sotos, Nought, Yeti, Tarantula Hawk, live recordings of 1973-4 King Crimson, and a bit of Anglagard. In Progarchives terms this spans a few sub-genres but there are common factors...can anyone suggest similar music I should investigate? Thanks for any help. ------------- Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia. We'll make you an offer you can't listen to. http://bandcamp.com/jpillbox" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp Profile |

Tangerine dream's RUBYCON and KLAUS SCHULTZE's , Vie electronique vol 1. It's brilliant with some dark eerie soundscapes that is completely instrumental. It's great. :) ------------- Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣 |

I just reviewed an album/band yesterday which seems to fit these criteria. Norwegian project called "When". I found a playlist on Youtube of some of their material, though nothing from the album I reviewed. Still, might be your kind of thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6j32U0PqYQI&feature=list_other&playnext=1&list=AL94UKMTqg-9AqmEuMZjZpKeaPYnkfpst6" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6j32U0PqYQI&feature=list_other&playnext=1&list=AL94UKMTqg-9AqmEuMZjZpKeaPYnkfpst6 My review: http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=857596" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=857596 ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

Oooh, very interesting call with Klaus Schulze's `Vie Electronique - vol 1', Progbethyname! I was just listening to that last night at work (NOT a popular choice for others in my office!  ). It's a very hypnotic and eerie, highly repetitive and chilly electronic album. Lots of long, drifting near-gothic isolating soundscapes composed on heavily treated organ. Very otherwordly music!
Mascodagama - Speaking of Schulze, I would highly recommend you try the following album if you want something dark and quite unnerving: http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=7632" rel="nofollow - Klaus Schulze - Blackdance 
It's a VERY unpleasant but highly fascinating and draining musical experience. It's one of my favourite albums, I also wrote a fairly pretentious review of it here too!

Rubycon I have got on cassette tape (!) somewhere but have not listened to for many years. More synth-lead than what I was thinking of but has got to be worth a replay or two. I will dig it out again, also add the Schulze to my list. Thanks! ------------- Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia.

You need some Syrinx. French zeuhl/fusion band with loads of intricate dark and perplexing rhythms.
Also: Art Zoyd Haxan no links right now, but I recently wrote a review about it and gave it the full five beads.

It is one of my favourite albums - often played in this house (on headphones, as not everyone appreciates it). Thanks for the suggestion though! You are probably aware, but the mighty Comus actually have a new album - 'Out of the Coma' - available.

Yes I do...I'm the bloke. Nice to meet you! Have you checked the links on my youtube channel ? In the mid-nineties I'd bought sound module Roland JV 1080, and spent quite much time exploring it (notably interested in LFO, flanged echos used as notes, pitch-bend soloing / tonefitting, alternative tuning). Lately tracks like Scansion were remixed with drum + bass sampled sounds. |

Yes I'm still spending much time considering audio treatment the same way I was doing with MIDI + Roland.

You might be surprised by that PH album - his usual wordiness is not so much in evidence.

I'm a bit of a Yeti fan as I mentioned in the OP. Really intense stuff that is a bit RIO, a bit Zeuhl, a bit heavy prog - not sure if I would ultimately have classifed them as RIO, but that's where they are on the site. If you try them and like them you should also check out Tarantula Hawk, another US band who were active at around the same time and worked in a similar vein. They had two albums - to make matters as confusing as possible both records were self-titled and none of the tracks had names. But both are good. ------------- Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia.

I am going to do that. Way past time I caught up with some of his projects. Thanks for the pointer. ------------- Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia. We'll make you an offer you can't listen to. http://bandcamp.com/jpillbox" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp Profile |

Another for my growing list. I only know them from s/t for Suspiria (which I've heard but don't own) - quite something! Thanks for the suggestion. ------------- Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia.

Yeah, I do love some free jazz / improv / skronk when in the right frame of mind, but I certainly can't listen to it all the time. I see that 7 is DVD only which is a shame - I rarely watch music DVDs even if I buy them, so I don't like buying them. I don't know if you could suggest a point of entry for Supersilent from what's available on CD...? ------------- Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia.

I've never been much interested in Porcupine Tree, but already had a 'note to self' to look into Mothlite. Also I recently got hold of his remixes of Larks' Tongues In Aspic which are just superb, so he's gone way up in my estimation as a producer. Bass Communion is now added to my list for investigation, thank you.

Already onto that one (thanks though) - with that and Leg End being my favourites from HC. Anything, really, without Dagmar...

Well I like Blake (coincidental that the John Zorn album cover posted earlier also had a reference!) though I have limited experience with Black Metal. But this has got to be worth checking out, thank you. ------------- Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia.

It's been a blast reading Tom Ozric and Guldbamsen's posts.

Agree on 7. I prefer their eariler stuff. The boxset of 1-3 is very good but much more avant-jazz and less withj electronics and more ugency than their later years. Thouggh all that material can be a little daughtting for jumping straight into. 4 is also top notch IMO, taking the two worlds and putting them together. Of the later stuff I like 8 the best. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

See I tend to go for 6. I think it's the most 'together' of the lot, and I sense some kind of red thread running through it. Pretty electronic too but in a soothing manner.
Also, in reference to the op, Italian band Jacula. They practically invented the doom genre with their two first albums.
