I heard the band Asia Minor for the first time the other day; I must say I was very impressed. I heard a couple of tracks from 'Between Felsh and Divine' which - although released in 81 - is actually GOOD, mid 70s influenced prog rock. I can hear a lot of Camel influence going on, in the vocals, melodies and flutes. I definitely have to pick up the album.
Any of you guys fans?
If not - and if you like Camel - I definitely recommend this band (at least from what I've heard). Just listen to the first track, 'Nightwind'. Brilliant.
I've also been exploring the Italian scene a lot more; I've always been a fan of the greats (PFM, Loconda Della Fate, Le Orme, Semiramis, etc) but I didn't realise how much good stuff there is out there.
