I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

that's a great album!

^ Fun project.



For another not actually Balkan, but influenced by its music (more serious) Afenginn from Denmark is good.

Anastasia is a neoclassical, darkwave, folk and electronic proggy in a Dead Can Dance Way act from Macedonia. I got to know it through soundtrack music first.

Here's one track I like from it:

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.

I believe I found something cool from a non-Slav or a non-Jugo Balkan state. :p

If to consider Istanbul as a part of Balkans, a fine progressive (not Prog) album, Elektronik Turkuler (1974), is made by Erkin Koray from that city.

Way back not too far from the start of the internet, when the average prog forum was dominated by serious heads and not kiddies, there was this prog site called Janet`s Nipple which I frequented a lot.
Handful of us went into rather great detail (considering the time) covering progpsych jumping from country to country.
Some of the Balkans covered were:Jugoslavia,Croatia,Turkey,Romania,Bulgaria.

I don`t think you can find Janet`s Nipple anymore (using a search like Wayback Machine whatever) but I saved it all to my old tower computer.

And, no, I`m not going to post any HERE.
