Which artist not represented on AM would you most like to see added?

[Yesspaz]

There are tons of prog bands out there that due to time and money limitations, differences in taste, or obscurity, aren't on AM. Which unrepresented prog band would you most like to see added?

Can't vote in these polls for some reason but for what it's worth I'd go for Faust (esp. The Faust Tapes).

I'd also put in a request for the 70s Irish prog band "Fruupp". They were SUPERB!!!!

[Rick and Roll]

There is only one song, a Progday live cut, on AM. This Michigan band put out arguably one the ten best records I have ever heard, "Unfolded Like Staircase". Their debut, "Push and Profit", is also outstanding.

"Unfolded" is a must for Aural Moon.

I made the poll and forgot to vote!

So I just voted for Tortoise. Dag, yo!

[Yesspaz]

Who was the other person who voted for Tortoise?

Speak up Chum!

Aside from Opeth's Damnation ,which is being added, Bjork is my next choice.

[Yesspaz]

Bjork rules. She's the second best thing to ever come out of Iceland (after Sigur Ros).

[zvinki]

We agree on that one, Yesspaz. You rule!

[Yesspaz]

If I hadn't just request Glisten, I'd go request some Sigur Ros - probably "Olsen Olsen." Dang, that's a perfect piece of music.

I voted for "other"; specifically requesting Roger Waters...especially Amused To Death.

What do the rest of you think of that?

Sounds good!

I voted for Faust!

[moses]

Yeah that was me who voted for Tortoise. I like that stuff you can't quite put your finger on.

[Yesspaz]

Tortoise rules. The only problem with them is that besides their four official studio albums, they have literally four more albums worth of stuff that is nearly impossible to get your hands on. 7" singles, split eps, 3" discs, various artists comps, b-sides - OH! it's so frustrating! Why do bands do that!!!!!! If they'd compile all that and put out a boxed set of rare stuff, I'd buy it the day it came out...... sad.....

How about Earthworks? (I'm new here so maybe you guys already are playing some) There's a canadian outfit called "The Addison Project" that is really hot.

[zvinki]

I just heard some samples from their website. Interesting progressive music with a strong jazz flavour. It certainly would appeal to many listeners here.

Pelle, any idea if they are touring? I live in Montreal and would love to see them.

[pelle]

I don't know if they're a band as such. I think it's more of a studio ensemble than anything else, but I just e-mailed the leader and I'm hoping he replies with some info. If he does I'll let you know.

[moses]

Now I've heard of a band called the Addison Groove Project. Is this related to the Addison Project? Never having heard or seen either band, I can't really comment. AGP apparently plays live fairly often, and has a horn section. That's about all I know about them.

I guess some more research is necessary.

Take a look around these sites for more info.

[moses]

Oh fine, make me do my own research.

All I really wanted was for someone to say "yeah, they're the same band" or "nope, no relation... just an odd coincidence."

So, in case I wasn't the only one wondering... "nope, no relation... just an odd coincidence."

Thanks anyway Keith.

The Addison Project should be called The Addison Groove Project (it's a cooler name) .
