Assorted Obscurities (1)

Over the past year or two, I've discovered hundreds of fantastic prog and fusion releases thanks to progarchives and youtube. 
Here are three especially obscure tracks (some perhaps more obscure than others) that I've been delighted to have found. Which ones do you share my love for?

Island:

Machiavel:

Syrinx:

	The only album of these I have in my collection is Island's Pictures. I have heard Syrinx before. After listening to all three, I'm going with the one I knew well, Pictures.
	Just a fanboy passin' through.

	Love all three albums, at first I thought you were referring to the Canadian Syrinx (of which I would vote for) but the French band is also excellent of course. Machiavel are great and have better songs in their albums imo, I'll go with Island here, pictures is a brilliant album!

	Machiavel. IMO "Island" and "Syrinx" are not obscured as Machiavel. But musically , Island is my fave band in this list.

	Island is my favorite of the two I've heard.

	Obviously I'm a fan of all three (or I wouldn't have included them), but my favourite would have to be Syrinx. Love the dreamy, hypnotic feel of these guys. One of my top modern groups all around.

	Syrinx over Islands but I could have gone either way.
