Farmers Market (Norway) for Folk/Avant or Eclectic

clarke2001 wrote: I have my doubts about them being prog rock at all. This is a folk ensemble with modern instrumentation. A World Music/World Fusion ensemble, if you want. Eclectic they're not. Their music is note-to-note carbon copy of music that can be heard at any wedding party on Balkans. Perhaps there are songs with more "rock" elements, I don't know - there are not too many samples around. My two stotinkas.

The fusion team are kinda busy at the moment from what I can see...

But it appears that Farmers Market have been okayed for inclusion. All a matter of finding someone on that team with the time to make an addition I guess ;-)

Folk could be an option, considering their (obvious) East-european influences. Awesome band, brilliant musicians!   Are the Folk and Fusion teams aware of them at all?

They were rejected for avant-prog, let's see what happens with Fusion. 

Not much no. You can follow the progress here: http://progfreak.com/Farmers-Market-105412.html?path=pa/raz

Do you know TOTO ?  I have two farmers' market albums, so I know what I am talking about.   And who are you to despise a band with such superb artists as David Paich, Simon Phillips, Jeff Porcaro or Steve Lukather.   Your post is the dumbest one I have ever seen on the PA forum.

don't forgett Steve Porcaro (behind one of the best Michael Jackson tunes Human Nature), Greg Phillinganes (though he only did one (superb album which he also sang on (superbly) )), Mike Porcary (who suffers from ALS today ), David Hungate, Joseph Williams (son of John Williams) and Fergie Fredriksen (who have a uncureable cancer illness ). oh last but not least Bobby Kimbal (who now works in a band with formar Yessers Tony Keys and Billy Shenanigans (idont remember his last name)

"Red Square Dance" and "Surfin USSR" tracks are Serbian / Bulgarian folk,  not a rock music at all. But, if team(s) are saying: *yes* - this music  is Prog    I'll be very happy  Hey, I'd suggest the Prog band named Splet Kola ~     ( live audio)          

    15 minutes epic Vragolanka etc.          ~

Do you know TOTO ? 

The band is under evaluation by the ZART (Zeuhl/Avant/RIO Team), and if you look at the team chart you'll see that no team member voted yet. Maybe a better idea would be to write the team members and offer help / put pressure?  Current active members are SaltyJon, DamoXt7942 and listennow801.
