Re: 10 of the best uknown prog albums

Mailo, right on with PFOTM. It's an album I go back to time and time again.
I'd also add:

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

Re: 10 of the best uknown prog albums

Well you know...I consider North Euro Progrock is so great for us proggers.
Lellu's recommendation; Pekka Pohjola's sound is very fantastic.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

After Crying 6 ( Hungarian band , strange brew of Zappa-like brass orchestrations, Crimson-like guitar, hungarian and english vocals,...) a must have for adventurous progers

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 share MB's statement, SAHB was a clever band

The impossible dream , their previous was also a gem
