By the way, listening to what Svetonio posted... did you guys dont think that should have be a "Yugoslavian Progressive Rock"? In the same manner as RPI?

No, not in the same manner as RPI. RPI is a subgenre which still exists even today, as same as Italy LOL
Though, I think that PA should have the national sections; e.g. English Prog, U.S. Prog, German Prog, Polish Prog, ex-Yugoslavian Prog (only for the bands that gained popularity in Tito's Yugoslavia) and so on, instead of the present sections; people gonna labeled the bands anyway in their reviews, posts, blogs...

Nevermind. It was just my idea that the PA bands and solo artists to be archived by their country of origin, not by a sub-genre what so often leads to confusion. Thus, on the PA front page and on the lists instead of the names for sub-genres, that you see e.g. Brazilian Prog, Mexican Prog and so on. Get it?

Ahhhh, got it...

well... this would solve some problems and bring new ones... I'am not exactly against, since some genres are driven by nationality as RPI and Krautrock (almost)...

But then, putting Gentle Giant and Pink Floyd in the same thing...

boxes and labels... quite annoying, uh?

Yea, of course, both Gentle Giant and Pink Floyd should be in supposed English Prog section, but with those multiply tags for each band at their PA' pages. A combination of tags with already existed PA' genres names (as a heritage of these pages' good ol' times, plus two new tags and that would be "chamber prog" & "gothic prog") that links to PA' genres definitions but also that determine the band' style at best. So, instead of those definitions that are now on the top of everything, instead of those definitions which are in fact pretty fantasized assumptions as e.g. "crossover prog" which, during the time, is fallen to the tag for "awful" prog that is a charming melodie and easy thrill, instead of those genres that often create a ping-pong party among teams and so on, it should be that at PA' home page that a reader comes across some interesting & true stories and the historical facts about English Prog, ex-Yugoslavian Prog, German Prog; not "Krautrock" what should be just one of tags due to the fact that the term at present day means 'motorik psych' (almost) only, although perhaps that krautrock the term should go out of official use at PA as a term that was actually originated by some not very imaginative English journalist in the ancient times and what always sounded disparagingly regarding the great bands as Can or Popol Vuh; I could imagine how I or somebody else from ex-Yugoslavia should feel if an unimaginative London's journalist called ex-Yugoslavian progressive rock bands, for example, "slivovitzrock" LOL

Begnagrad was a first-class avant-prog band formed in Ljubljana, 1975. These magnificent tracks, that sound fresh and not dated even today, are from their s/t album from 1982.

Especially for the lovers of Avant, I'd like to mentioned in this thread the Tickmayer Formatio, a band from Novi Sad. This is Tickmayer Formatio' second album that was created as a mix of avant-garde jazz, rock & classical music, and released in 1987:






Personnel: Dušica Polovina: viola; Milan Vrsajkov: cello; Antonio Gaai: cello; Borislav Čičovački: oboe; Branislav Aksin: trombone; Stephen Grencsó: alto saxophone, flute; Mihály Dresch: tenor and soprano saxophones, flute; Geröly Thomas: percussion; Djordja Delibašić: percussion; István Kovács Tickmayer: piano, harmonium, melodica

Slivovitzrock, I'll name my children with this. LOL

From Begnagrad, some moments of the acordeon remind me the tradicionalists from my region...

Very very interesting Tickmayer Formatio, I'll give it more attention.

 ^^^^IMO "Magčna ruka" ("Magic Hand") is the best song of Korni grupa ever and probably one of the best songs of 60s Continental Europe Prog overall.
Sadly, the singer Dalibor Brun was left the Korni Grupa quickly after.

Djordje Ilijin was a leader of already mentioned Belgrade's band Tako, and these tracks, Mojim učenicima ("For My Students") and Sećanje na Mljet ("Remembering The Mljet Island"), are both from his 1983 solo album Zabranjeno prisluškivanje ("Eavesdropping Is Prohibited"). The album was re-released on Italian prog label Mellow Records.
 
 
 
 
Personnel: Djordje Ilijin (all instruments) and Vladimir Furduj (from Korni Grupa) (drums).
