^ It's funny, I met many Brazilians who couldn't understand most of what we say, but we generally understand you easily Tongue

En Avant Doute. Reminds me of Octane Twisted but better.
Maxaphone gradually grew on me. Cheesy in a good way.
Maneige-Les Porches: excellent bath music

Thanks for the advice guys. Which album for my Opeth side?

Man, we're no longer a colony, get over it! Wink

From Portugal I love Zeca Afonso, and I'am staying only with him.

Jk, I love a lot of Brazilian music, and quite like the musically of the accent. Tongue
But there is plenty more than Zeca around these parts, did you notice my two topics on Portuguese Prog I opened a couple of months back?

No, I havent, but I'll check this list. One or two names of the "classics" I recognize. Sounds very interesting.

I'll make such a list for the brazilian artists, but I'll wait for Secos & Molhados to get here, no list without them is a true list of brazilian music. Wink

Really love the first 3, though I would add El Patio from Triana too. For me that pair of albums is wondeful. As for RPI, I usually prefer other bands over PFM. And the last 2 sound like albums I should check out. I have looked for albums in german and there really weren't many, and I wouldn't have known which should be good to check out. Well, I do know some Rammstein and Lacrimosa, but that's something else altogether. And Latin, that sounds interesting to hear.

I've been trying to find that Landberk album and just haven't been succesful. It sounds interesting, and I think it would make a great companion to Hybris.

Just for you

Strictly speaking a project rather than a band. But do try some Ayreon. Into the Electric Castle and The Dream Sequencer are both awesome albums that will blow you away.
