Do you really know a lot about your native progressive rock bands?
 As a Japanese, for me it's so strange that in Japan there are very few stuffs about Japanese progressive rock.  Shamefully I've known so little 'bout my native rock and some PA members (non-Japanese) could give me the knowledge.  I suppose a lot of progressive rock freaks in Japan should think the mainstream (especially British...as everyone says) progressive rock is exactly cool.  Please PA members, let me know whether you know a lot about your native bands.  (Forgive me if everyone in your nation MUST know a lot.)

Japan has some marvelous prog bands; Flat 122, Interpose+, Muddy World, Le Silo.. my country (the U.S.) has an excellent if small prog tradition; Happy the Man, Cartoon, Yezda Urfa, Zombi, Eccentric Orbit, and the bulk of Mathrock movement among my favorites, not to mention the great X-Tech of artists as Spastic Ink and Spiral Architect

I like Japanese post rock band Mono FWIW.
Australian scene? We got some cool progressive death metal bands out this way, although for some reason when they tour I never have the money to go see them. Ah wells. |

I'm bulgarian and I know very little about bugarian prog bands, but unfortunately that's because they are almost zero!
We have one new band now - TravelHouse and one new artist Velislav Ivanov. One classic band - FSB, of course, too! |

One of the earliest Japanese bands I can remember is The Sadistic Mika Band - I saw them in the UK in 1976 - not fully Progressive by the standards of the time, but definitely Art Rock - Ryuichi Sakamoto guested with them and later went on to form the Yellow Magic Orchestra with two ex-Sadistics members.
We have 104 japaneese artists listed here: http://www.progarchives.com/Bands-country.asp?country=101
...from my own region - Gentle Giant. Edited by Dean - February 26 2009 at 05:20 |

It seems like historically, Japan used to be very inward focused, but in recent times people there have really taken an interest in music from outside. Many musical artists like to do live concerts there that aren't native as evidenced by the large number of live albums and Videos/DVDs that exist now.
Some progressives or at least artists that I consider so or have been progressive at one time at least from my part of the world: The Dixie Dregs, The Allman Brothers, Bruce Hampton, Maserati... I'm probably forgetting some.  I know the most about the Dregs and Hampton and have actually met them. Many years ago I got to be a volunteer roadie for the Dregs when they played a show at one branch of what was known then as Dekalb College.  Georgia is more famous for REM and the B-52's who I don't really know and aren't particularly a fan of. Edited by Slartibartfast - February 26 2009 at 06:09 |

Well, I'm Italian... Do I need to say more
?Anyway, one of the most representative RPI bands hails from my hometown of Rome - Banco del Mutuo Soccorso. At present, I can't remember about any others, but I am sure there are quite a few. |

In the Netherlands one of the first prog bands was Ekseption. From about 1970 onwards, more prog rock bands appeared here: Brainbox, Supersister, Earth & Fire. The Golden Earrings stripped the 's' from their name and went on in a more progressive direction during the first half of the 70's. Not long after Alquin (1972) and Kayak (1973) appeared, among others.

Let's see....
O Terço
Bacamarte
Casa das Máquinas
Mutantes
Som Nosso de Cada Dia
That's probably the best prog to be found over here.

From the early 80's among the more known prog bands from Mexico were Chac Mool(before their pop side)and Iconoclasta, there were also some more RIO influenced bands like Decibel, Nazca and then Banda Elastica.
Recently there have been some new good prog groups like Cabezas de cera, La pura realidad (already disbanded?) and Saena (Jose Luis Fernandez Ledesma newer project) as well as some RIO oriented like Ensamble dentro de la nada. Last month Jorge Reyes died (age 57), he was a former of Nuevo Mexico and Chac Mool among others before became a solo artist, fussioning electronic music with prehispanic instruments and who was one of the most influential figures in the prog movement since the 70's.

Hmm, Finland... Well, I certainly do not know many prog-bands coming from Finland. CMX is some kinda prog, I think and it's also my fave band from Finland, then there's Kingston Wall which is apparently prog too, haven't heard much from them, really... Kuolleet Intiaanit is just some manic prog-stuff, maybe a little bit too manic to me. A little bit like CMX's B-sides taken beyond the level of all comprehension, seriously. And then theres Kuha., which is maybe not so much for me but some may dig it, much.

Let's have a look at Poland...
The most famous prog & innovative 60-70's: Czesław Niemen, Skaldowie, SBB.
80's - hmmm, Collage and... and...
90's and 00's: quite a lot of good or even superb new bands - Quidam, Riverside, Satellite, Indukti, Abraxas, Albion, Osada Vida, After.
But something I can't explain: they are COMPLETELY
 absent in Polish media... |
