Hello everyone
I joined the "Prog Archives" a few days ago after using the lists and review sections countless times,and I figured it would be about time to give something back. Some of my favorite bands( I am assuming prog bands and other geners that are listed here?) would be in no particular order are King Crimson After Crying Mahavishnu Orchestra Magma !! Universe Zero Art Zoyd Present X Legged Sally French TV and a couple of Japanese bands that I dare not try to spell but they dwell in the RIO/Zeuhl music arena. and lastly Frank Zappa. Most of you have probably seen most or some of these bands live,but sorry to say the only artist I have seen live on more than twenty or better times is Frank Zappa and that was due to living in the North East,I now live in an area that is quite barren to creative music so I have my local electronic box store order my cd's for me which causes me alot of strange looks coming my way. I am really starting to listen alot to RIO bands but am kind of confused as to why there are no sub catagories under that banner.So if anyone has a couple of tips on a really good RIO or Zeuhl band I would be very grateful. So thats it for my introduction if you need to know anything else about me a six pack of some English Ale and if you can get by the wife and dog I will try to answer any question you have. Thank you Neroon001 |

Welcome Neroon001, you have some great bands listed. I can't help you with RIO/Zeuhl, but I am a big Frank Zappa fan. 20 times live, that's great! What years?

wow that was quick ! most of the shows were from the 70's and a few in the early eighties I always thought the Halloween shows in a small theater on the east side of NYC the name escapes me at the moment but were quite good.The one thing that still amazes me was his ability to get some of the best drummers around.I knew one guy who finally got an audition after trying for several years,got on a plane flew across country went to his house met FZ and then was asked to impress him him with only a snare,guess he didn't get the job,last I heard he is teaching drums on the side.Thanks for replying I am quite impressed with this site at the start I was kind of hessitant but all is good now

Welcome to the forum Neroon! One of my favourite bands Cheer-Accident, are in the RIO/Avant Prog section, and I highly recommend them.

Welcome friend
I am also into Magma, King Crimson and Mahavishnu Orchestra. All great music especially King Crimson. Do you have their album Red? Perhaps their best. Mahavishnu Birds of Fire is incredible Magma's MDK or Attahk are great along with Ehmethrett re |

@ irrevelant
Thanks for the heads up on Cheer-Accident ! I listened/watched the video clip and really liked what I heard ,I think there is alot of Crimson influence in that tune.This means I will need to investigate further on this band.Is there any particular album that I should start with first ? Thanks again for the tip

Glad you enjoyed it! They've got a few albums in that sort of style, the best I think out of those is Babies Shouldn't Smoke, which you can listen to here Other great albums of theirs IMO are The Why Album, Introducing Lemon, Salad Days and Fear Draws Misfortune, among others.

@ Polo
thanks for the video clips they were quite interesting,the last 2 you can really hear a Zappa influence which isn't a bad thing for me.

@ AtomicCrimsonRush
Thanks for the recomendations,but I don't want to say my age but I bought those when they first were released on vinyl back in the 70's, however I did not discover Magma until about 8 years or so ago and have been amazed with their music ever since.I did get a Henry Cow album way back but as I recall could not make heads or tails of it back then same thing when I bought Eric Dolphy's Out To Lunch album now these are some of my all time favorite albums.Something like when you were a kid and your parents tried to make you eat you're vegetables and now you have them all the time,just required a bit of patience on my part.

@ irrevelant
finally got to hear some Cheer Accident the other day I believe the album was called lemon ? (sometimes my memory isn't what it used to be) WOW ! I heard all kind of influences mostly King Crimson and some Zappa but not in a clone type of way,the drummer I thought was quite good.Thanks again for a great tip on a band that I have not heard of before but will be adding to my ever growing mass of media.

@ DamoXT7942
Please check Katra Turana if you love Japanese Zeuhl Finally able to listen to the video ( still can't get used to that) of Katra Turana I liked the violin alot wish he/she could have soloed a bit more.The the voices at first I thought it was a young woman then it sounded like a guy trying to do a womans voice very confusing to me.I thought the music was ok but also thought that it had nothing to do with Zeuhl but more on a theatre production RIO side of music sort of like an avant-garde style play,what I really love about that kind of music if you only have a soundtrack you have to try and visualize the play, sometimes that is the only way for me to listen to this kind/style of music.Thanks for the tip |

^^ Thanks for your evaluation and comments.
That videoclip cannot be suitable for Zeuhl-ish appearance but let me say please listen to their first creation if you can ... I'm sure it will not disappoint you. ![]() |

Welcome! I'm no RIO/Avant specialist but I do like quite a few bands on your list. Definitely make sure to check out Kayo Dot and Cheer-Accident.

Hi Neroon001,
Welcome! You are a grisled veteran compared to me!
I was always a very casual Frank Zappa fan, but with more and more excellent FZ live recordings coming out
like Live In NY, I am getting more into ole Frank!

@colorofmoney91
Have been listening to Cheer Accident for a couple of weeks now and I really like what I have heard so far. Kayo Dot is new to me so I will check them out soon I hope,I have noticed that they are highly rated here it's just me being overwhelmed with stuff at the moment is why they haven't made it to my must listen to list just yet,if I get a chance this week I will do my best to hear them. Neroon001
