Yes,the old band out of the netherlands. 3 great albums in the mid
1970`s. They are never discussed even though their first two efforts
were very strong. Think yes meets Mahavishnu. Great guitar,bass and
mellotron.Instead of dragging out those same tired classics out why not
try Finch. Every bit as good as Focus even if they don`t yodel. Maybe
it`s some of the best music to come out of the mid 70`s in my
estimation.

It should be fairly easy to find. A diamond in the rough. Probably not
going to be much response to this thread so thanks for showing interest.

I heard one of their songs on the radio once and quite liked it. Don't own any of their albums though.

Dear progheads, don't forget Finch their 2-CD entitled The Making Of ..Galleons Of Passion/Stage 76 (in 1999 released by Dutch Pseudonym Records). CD-2 delivers Finch at their best playing the previously unreleased epic track Necronomicon and all their great compositions live with excellent soli !

Well, to my memory there is no DVD at all! I have done an interview with all Finch members in order to write the liner notes for the 2-CD but nobody ever mentioned a DVD, also not the record company boss. And I cannot trace something about a DVD on Prog Archives.... how about this DVD? Anyone knows more?

Well, at least my mistake led to a few more posts about a great band
which doesn`t get discussed. I will be looking for their 1999 2 cd
effort. A little confused how the 1999 effort about the making of their
third album{ which was not as solid as the 1st two albums} is their
highest rated album.

Ah, Finch. I stumbled across Glory of the Inner Force and Beyond Expression around 9 months ago. Pretty good.

I totally agree with the previous persons. Finch is a great band and they deserve much more attention. Every prog-lover should own the first two albums !!
