| Do you know Omega? | BarryL
May 15, 2001 7:08 PM | | Do you know anything about a Hungarian band called Omega? |
| Demetrio! you're back | unleasHell
May 16, 2001 8:19 AM | | did you get my email? |
| Los Canarios - Ciclos | francesc
May 17, 2001 1:21 AM | | Demetrio, when you send me the Italian & Spanish comp I completely forgot to ask you if you knew this gem. That was Teddy Bautista at his best.
I can see that nothing escapes your 'absolute progger' olfact... |

Soft Machine-3rd
Gong-Angel's Egg, You
CAN-Future Days
Nektar-Tab In The Ocean, Journey to the Centre.....
Hatfield & the North-S/T, Rotters Club
Matching Mole-S/T & anything by Robert Wyatt
On a personal note, you really gotta get Caravan's-
If I Could Do it All Over Again,I'd Do it Over You
simply amazing stuff! Also there live BBC album
Songs for Oblivion Fishermen. Cheers!! |
| Must Have.....Caravan | BarryL
May 16, 2001 6:24 AM | | The Caravan catalogue is being remastered and reissued with additional tracks on each CD, may unreleased live tracks. A few of them are alread available where I am, including If I Could Do It, For Girls That Grow Plump, and Cunning Stunts.
On a personal note, I thing In The Land of Grey and Pink is an outstanding album, and For Girls That Grow Plump is very good also. I don't find much of interest on Waterloo Lily, however. These are the only one's I've heard, so two out of three ain't bad. |

May 16, 2001 5:23 AM | | No one did it any better than Barclay James Harvest from England.....
Try Gone To Earth, Once Again, Other Short Stories or Octoboron. |
| re: 70's European Prog Rock Suggestions? | Chuck G
May 17, 2001 9:37 AM | | Actually, the Baby James Harvest LP has one of the best EPIC songs
I have ever heard (and that goes for Genesis) called Summer Soldier. That song is worth the price of admission alone but overall Baby James Harvest is my 2nd favorite LP after Gone to Earth. |
| No one mentioned Par Lindh Project?! | KevB
May 16, 2001 8:59 AM | | From Sweden, one of the great new prog rock groups, with Emerson/Wakeman like keyboards, ethereal Renaissance style (and gorgeous) vocalist, and crunching heavy guitar work. Mundus Incompertus is an epic album, with both classical and modern rock influences. |
| re: 70's European Prog Rock Suggestions? | Alan G.
May 16, 2001 4:02 PM | | All are great suggestions!!
Surprised that nobody listed Aphrodites Child "666" (Greek?). I believe Vangelis was part of that - and the newer group Enigma had roots there as well.
Also - HAWKWIND - well, they were not very technical, so maybe nevermind! |
| Aphrodite's Child | BarryL
May 17, 2001 9:45 AM | | Vangelis was part of Aphrodite's Child. I recall that there is a great accoustic song on 666 called Sarogosa Sea or Aegian Sea. |
