Others have already made some good suggestions. Here are some of mine:
LEB I SOL - first four albums; also try VLATKO STEFANOVSKI solo projects (electric and accoustic) - what a great guitarist! DEN ZA DEN KORNET |

Don't forget Ian Carr's Nucleus and the early Brand X. Do you think Phil was thinking that Genesis was over when he started putting his hand in just about every proggy, jazzy dish at the time?

Someone mentioned Mahavishnu early on in the thread and I have to ditto that...if you want quality fusion with great fast leads and a bit of atonality then that's the place to start...imo.

Isoptope has three albums plus a live one and they are all good but Illusion is my favorite.
Gary Boyle is an excellent guitarist.

The kind of fast note runs that are on the first song of Brand X's Masques is exactly the kind of music I am after. Thanks a lot! |

Man there are so many good suggestions! As for my original post, I realized it was not clear but I am not looking for proto metal. I am looking for bands who did what some of the current progressive metal bands are doing now but before metal existed: Pushing technicality and harmonic exploration to its extremes. I didn't have time to check everything out yet but if you think of more instrumental madness keep em coming! I particularly enjoy fast playing, atonality or or use less typical modes/scales or music that makes use of a variety of modes/scales in the same song.
TeleStrat: I remember hearing that Isotope album a few times and really liking it! |

Great suggestion! This fine work is often overlooked! I'd suggest "Masques" by Brand X, my favorite of their very prolific output.

More mainstream but If, Osibisa and Zzebra might be worth listening to plus various Frank Zappa albums especially Hot Rats.

Hi,
I'm gonna faint! Terje mentioned three times! Not sure '"tonal" is the right word for it, but a lot of the early Jan Garbarek, would seem to fit? I also keep thinking Yokko Saeffer (sp.), though I have not heard anything of his in 30 years, stuff that has its roots in anything but melody, for my ears. I also find Egberto Gismonti, in the early days, would be an interesting listen, but none of these fit in "rock", and sometimes I think that calling them "jazz" is a huge stretch!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I came here to say almost exactly the same The first thing I thought of when I saw this thread was National Health. A bit of Tenemos Roads just might do the trick My fave from the album is still Elephants, but I reckon I'm in the minority on that one + Tenemos Roads is probably a better introduction to National Health. |

If you like Gilgamesh you should check out Matching Mole, National Health and if you are ok with vocals, Caravan and Hatfield and The North. The Gong albums suggested previously are excellent. There's a whole Canterbury scene you probably need to explore.

For 70s jazz rock fusion, don't miss out on Passport, especially their albums Doldinger ("71) , Looking Thru ("74) and Cross Collateral ("75).
