Hey LordHypnos - a while back you mentioned a label called mellotronen outta Sweden. I visited it and it looks like they have some really interesting stuff on there - too bad they don't have sound bites. Which of their releases would you recommend?

btw, i'm new - i've been reading this thread for the past 2 days and as a big prog/psych/hard rock fan, it's really refreshing to see such an active thread on the genres.

Currently listening to:
Jade Warrior - s/t & 'Last Autumn's Dream'
Edip Akbayram - s/t
Gold - 'Oregins S.F. 1970'
High Tide - 'Sea Shanties'

interesting you called me hypnos. nobody has done that in years?

on mellotronen you MUST purchase (for now):

paatos - timeloss,
morte macabre - symphonic holocaust,
bo hansson - attic thoughts
dungen - ta det lugnt
anekdoten - gravity
kaipa - self titled
cathedral - stained glass stories
akasha - self titled
culpeper's orchard - self titled
liquid scarlet - 2
 
just bought nursery cryme the other day, amazing album, i love the tounge-in-cheek way of some of the songs, yet they still come across as seriously good music, i definately want to get Foxtrot next, so far i have Nursery Cryme and Selling England by the pound, both of which i love other than foxtrot what are the worthwhile genesis records?
 
so i only just noticed that certain band members have been involved in Morte Macabre, Anekdoten AND Landberk, now thats one amazing lot of talent:worship:
 
LOPAG - How did you find all this stuff? Thanks for all the recommendations, Im sure I never would have heard of these bands without this thread.

im assuming youre talking to me? even though my name isnt LOGAP, and you managed to get the order of the initials wrong. :loco:


i have many sources that have helped. different record shops, web sites, members of bands who gave recommendations, and a lot of footwork of my own.

I guess pink stands out to me more than grey.

Osanna. Italian band, really good.
NFU, what do you think about them?

I've read the whole thread today :hypno: :loco: :OMG: It took me really long... I was listening to Thule 'Natt' and Henry Cow 'Leg End' (is it possible that nobody mentioned it? or maybe I just 'lost' it in these 52 pages?) while reading. Both :worship: :rock: :worship:

the first few osanna albums i love...and im not even usually big into that fusion style of progressive rock most of the time. they were very good at what they did, and managed to swing from style to style flawlessly. if you like them, check out Trettioariga Kriget from sweden. also a fantastic, interesting and challenging band of about the same caliber.
 
hehe i couldnt be such with the intelligence level of some of the folk on this forum, was listening to caravan last night myself, in the land of grey and pink = most badass album to trip out and listen to just before sleeping
 
Here's a question for anyone familiar with Gentle Giant. I have the albums Gentle Giant through Free Hand. Dare I venture further into the "pop" years? (I heard In'terview was OK).

and I want that Comus compilation album. But $40? I guess that's not for the casual prog fan. :erk:
