No tricksiebzehn, unfortunately I don't have a last.fm profile, but looking forward to, thanks for sharing yours, will check it out. Yeah ELP (as well as The Nice) managed quite well this matter, but I don't know Trace, is it from Netherlands? I don't know where I read once something about this band, and forgot to look for their discography. |
Right, Trace is a prog act from Netherlands, at least the keyboarder is from Ekseption as far as I know. I would say they are a trio like ELP, playing music like Ekseption. The Track "Gaillarde" from album "Trace" is really good. Trace - Gaillarde

Wow! Very beautiful music indeed, one more band for sure that I guess will be very pleased when dig into them. And right on, really felt there classical influences too (somewhat in the mood of Bach and Mozart), particularly the begining of this song somehow reminded me of it, returning to it again in the really stunning final part, great music. Been reading about Ekseption, very interesting band to check out too.
I'm suspecting you already know the swedish Par Lindh Project, very beautiful music, strong classical influences there too, and such a catchy rocking melodies, though almost no guitars at all, well so far I have only the album "Gothic Impressions" and love the whole album, now looking forward to the rest of his discography, listened to "Sky Door" (album Time Mirror) and loved it too. Interesting to point out that Par Lindh plays just 1 minute of electric guitar in "The Cathedral", and I guess that's all about guitar playing in Gothic Impressions.

I remebered just now that Univers Zero make pretty good prog without/little use of guitars as far as I know, but just listened to "Uzed" until now. Univers Zero - Presage

Right on, other hit on the spot, many thanks for your suggestions! Although UZ is far commented here in PA, I never gave priority to it, but after listening to this superbly interesting track it made up my mind, and if I'm not wrong I felt some chamber music influences, somehow most amazed me at my first listen so far, is that an electric violin which begins a stunning crescendo melody at the third min.? just amazing! Exciting the whole music indeed.
