rare prog from early 70s

[Abhorsen]

many bands origin's arent the same as the countries they were producing music from.

Indeed, but Nektar recorded more in England in the 70's than any other country.

i'd probably pick as i feel i die or with an ear to the ground

also i'm sure there are bands nuf likes that he hasn't talked about here...

lol

 

[Heckelgruber]

Holy fucking shit, he's like a different person!! Bring back the old freindly NFU who loves recommending good music to people!!!!

He's almost... eager to please...

 

[Necromantic-Hiko]

the only major genre I don't think has ever been discussed at great length here is electronic music

Yeah, last time that was tried the topic was deleted, and no one bothered to restart one. Pity, I need some new ebm/idm to listen to.

 

[Dante's Inferno]

Does anybody have the song 'The Herald' by Comus? I heard 30 seconds of it and it sounds really interesting, but I wanna hear it before I buy (heard some other Comus songs which was kinda woah).

Just checking out some bands I've never heard of on Prog Archives, and I was wondering what people think of Return to Forever. At the moment I'm listening to Duel Of The Jester And The Tyrant, and it sounds pretty good.
So I guess I'm asking, are Return to Forever good or are they rip-offs of another band (I have very little knowledge of fusion bands, so I have no idea.)

 

[Liquid Tension]

Return to Forever's Romantic Warrior album is awsome....

The Dimeola solo disc Land of the Midnight Sun has the same feel as RTF...

Yeah? I'll check it out.
Also, if anyone has any more dark bands (preferably not BM though) to recommend, I'd really appreciate it. I already know about Comus and Museo Rosenbach, but I couldn't find many others in this thread. Univers Zero?

Edit: Oh! I don't know if anything like this exists, but an influence of H.P. Lovecraft or Edgar Allen Poe would be great. I love their work. I know about Alan Parsons and the occasional Sabbath and Metallica dabble into Lovecraft, but have yet to hear anything that has come across as really dark.

Akasha is a great dark progressive rock band from the early/mid 70s from norway, give them a try. and as far as lovecraft or poe influence or something similar...try the bands: "H.P. Lovecraft", "Bram Stoker" and "Nosferatu". As well as the bands "Black Widow", and "Jacula"...although i dont know if theres any real vivid influence of those above authors specifically in those 2, but there obviously COULD be if you listen to the music...and will no doubt give you the same affect regardless. enjoy

Yeah, I was only looking for that dark feel that those authors produce, so those other two bands you recommended should be good too.

And thanks for that link, Braighs!

Ugh. Akashat sound like a really good band, but I haven't found a place that either sells their CD or has a track or two for download. It's really annoying, as it seems that they would be right up my alley.

NFU's mafia practices stretch out in more places than you can imagine. The "he will take care of you" bit sounds a bit suspicious to me tbh.

Thanks. Only problem is I'm 16 and don't have a credit card. Even so, I'll see can get my dad to order the album(s) for me.
