Blue Shift - Not the Future I Ordered
Mindflowers (Hungary) - Improgressive

Harakka Bialoipokku - Pekka Pohjola

Thanks Moonies. ;)

Re: 10 of the best uknown prog albums
 

I'm surprised that nobody's mentioned the absolute KING of Prog that isn't Prog: Igor Stravinsky wrote many charts that couldn't possibly be considered anything BUT prog. The firebird suite still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up, and Rite of Spring caused a freaking RIOT in Paris when it was released.

My kinda guy, actually.

Re: 10 of the best uknown prog albums
 

Dreamship--Ancestral Voyage ; a cross between JA's Olias of Sunhillow and Glass Hammer; symphonic prog

Ship of Fools--Let's Get This Mother Outta Here; great space prog

The Tea Party--The Edges of Twilight and Splendor Solis

Re: 10 of the best uknown prog albums
 

I have a new addition to this list - Scarlet Thread - Valheista Kaunein - great album recently added to the Moon :D

Prog classical?
 

Hi, Dot. I appreciate your comment.
Actually my knowledge about classical music is poor so it's a pleasure for me to know Stravinsky's works more.
Would you please let me know your recommended albums? :notworthy

Thanks.

Mother Earth---You Have Been Watching

When I first heard this, I thought it was a new Traffic cd. Best 1 cent cd on amazon you will ever buy.

Re: 10 of the best uknown prog albums
 

I consider Stravinksy anything but prog. Sure, he's out there and makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up, but prog is short for progressive ROCK. Stravinsky's not rock. Likewise, there are thousands of non-prog rock songs (and songs of other genres) that make the hair stand up, and they're not prog.

Just my two cents. 8-q

Re: 10 of the best uknown prog albums
 

I agree with spaz but there is no denying how much of an influence he has had on prog ROCK.:rockband:

Re: 10 of the best uknown prog albums
 

One of the great 'could be if you squint' prog albums is Tomorrow Belongs To Me by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band.

Scotland's own SAHB were one of the great under-rated bands of the '70s, and TBTM was SAHB at their best.

The Tale Of The Giant Stone-eater, Give My Compliments To The Chef and Sharks' Teeth were pure prog IMO - and Shake That Thing is one of my favourite songs ever.

Definitely worth checking out by moonies - hail Vibrania!

I don't think I ever saw this thread, though I probably posted in it somewhere :headscrat Anyone want to volunteer to generate a list of the prog albums mentioned that are NOT on the Moon?? If so, you :rawk:

hehe, I re-read it and found multiple post from me. Any takers on capturing the non-AM prog albums? Please? :D

AND, YES! I have been drinking.:horsepoop

Re: 10 of the best uknown prog albums
 

Jim, if there's any albums people mentioned here that aren't on the moon it's because they are out of print. From my list I remember you telling me that the Nightwinds and Eduardo Bort are not on here.

Update: OK, I just checked and it looks like you have Eduardo Bort but not Nightwinds. However, you don't have anything by the Australian prog band Aragon.

Re: 10 of the best uknown prog albums
 

The Keaggy ones not on the Moon will be donated when I'm tired of them.

Re: 10 of the best uknown prog albums
 

I already went through the list and have acquired many of the suggestions that WERE not on the Moon - they will be there soon... :rockband:
