    Posted: April 12 2006 at 20:13

I have a lot of CD's made by bands which only released one album, such as Museo Rosenbach, Neuschwenstein, Kyrie Eleison, El Diablo, Il Paese del Balocchi, Pollen, Morte Macabre... My question is do they bands are really trascendental to prog music history or they are just pieces of collection??

I'm not looking for new names but for opinions about this and other one-album bands...

Peace and love...

their historical significance isn't in the individual band/album but more of a repressentation of how prolific a single country like Italy had to offer in the creative growth of progressive rock at that time,

though some of these One-shot albums can also be seen to trascend their respective niche in that on their specific "one and only" release they presented such a subtle idiosyncratic sound that not only does it continue to inspire and gain new fans monthly, but also has never been mimicked or cloned in quite the same way, thus it stands alone as a pillar of excellence,

I would have to make some research to a good answer of the question, but there are two albums made by bands that only made two stuio albums that IMO are very trascendental, Hybris ( Anglagärd) and First Utterance ( Comus),  and they are two of the best albums of prog history IMO.

A trascendental album made by a band that only made that album? , i'll have to think

I have a large collection of one-shot albums/bands which are mostly pieces of collection; but there are also albums that made the history of prog, for example:

  • QUATERMASS - Quatermass (1970)
  • KHAN - Space Shanty (1972)
  • SPRING - Spring (1971)
  • STILL LIFE - Still Life (1971)
  • T2 - It'll All Work Out In Boomland (1970)
  • TONTON MACOUTE - Tonton Macoute (1971)
  • ALPHATAURUS - Same (1973)
  • SEMIRAMIS - Dedicato A Frazz (1973)
  • LA LOCANDA DELLE FATE (although they released another album in the '90s) - Forse Le Lucciole Non Si Amano Pił (1977)
  • MUSEO ROSENBACH - Zarathustra (1973)
  • MAXOPHONE - Same (1975)
  • BIGLIETTO PER L' INFERNO - Same (1974)
  • CORTE DEI MIRACOLI - Same (1976)
  • ETC, ETC, ETC...

DELIVERY-Fools Meeting. Canterbury blues rock from 68 or 69,with Carol Grimmes on vocal (an English Janis Joplin, say some)and Steve Miller (later of Caravan and Hatfield and the North). A one off album featuring various Canterbury players. Not a particularily "tight" band, but lots of heart, energy and love for the blues.

There are a lot of good Italian prog bands that only made one album.

But what about an American band?

Anybody ever heard of Arabesque and their excellent symphonic prog album Tales of Power?

Average rating 4.48 for their album.One of the best symphonic prog albums ever made IMO...then their keyboard player left for some small town band

There is band: "Dali's Dilemma", they released only one album called "Manifesto for futurism". They have a defying Prog Metal Chaotic sound. Recommended for prog metal lovers ad for people who love complex music. Not recommended for symphonic prog listeners or too conservative people...

do you mean you missed their 2nd and 3rd releases - over 20 years after the first?  And about a year ago somebody wrote in about an earlier album by the same (or most of) the same line-up.
