I apologize, didn't listen long enough into the first video.

Well...ummm...that sucked. Based on the contents of the video, I hope that wasn't what he was looking for.

@Sventonio, Interesting voice he has
Not bad. Reminiscent of Chinese Opera with some overtone singing thrown in there. I'm also interested to check out the Maybe Horse label. And its true that the Second Hand Rose Band wasn't really my cup of tea (aside from the actual folk influences), but I'm grateful for the suggestions, regardless of whether I like them or not.

Actually, based on the two videos I posted, anyone who has an ear for music and an open mind will be able to see (hear) that the music is magnificent and unique. It's not prog, not even world music, but read his opening post. He says that non prog bands are also welcome. Bye! Edited by Svetonio - February 20 2014 at 22:31 |

I'm sorry, I couldn't hear the music over the singer's caterwauling. It was vaguely reminiscent of Yoko Ono shrieking in Japanese. Had I listened further, I suppose I would have been more open-minded...from my skull splitting in two.

Ooooh, you got me there Svetty! Is that a Chinese proverb? Perhaps that can be the band's next album title.

Try Embryo with the Karnataka College of Percussion Live; you can't get any more authentic than that.
Here an example track: |

Thank you all for the recommendations. Really appreciate it. The Far East doesn't get enough attention musically. Even in genres like J- and K- pop there are some cool things happening.

In the early days with the flute player, they had some touches that might be considered "eastern" but they were hardly anything, but a simple introduction or opening to a piece of music. There is no "influence" when it becomes just another rock song, and an introduction, whose theme and event does not affect the song at all. Since John left, this band does not have that feel anymore.
Some others, that kinda play with this, in various different forms:
Agitation Free
Dissidenten (not usually considered progressive - rather pop'ish)
Jon McLaughlin (does a lot of eastern material)
Shankar
Monsoon (Indian band)
David Parsons (several CD's)
Georg Deuter
So weird to see/hear these kinds of threads. I remember the Sadistic Mika Band, at first doing rock'n'roll and satirizing it, and then doing samba and bossa nova mixed with rock music, at least making fun of the island music to the east of them. Edited by moshkito - February 26 2014 at 08:48 |

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Well, I'm taking the "not necessarily" as saying that you are still open to Far Eastern groups nonetheless, ;-)
Japan: Far East Family Band China: Cold Fairyland. As far as southeast Asia though, my knowledge is geared loosely toward more traditional. Ironically, childhood was spent listening to far eastern and Americanized far eastern music (Kitaro, etc), so when I listen to Western music that supposedly has a mildly Far Eastern flavor, it doesn't really stand out, it just sounds like how music should sound to me. :-) Now those that use an obvious instrument or technique are another story, but those aren't coming to mind right now. |

Jade Warrior's "Monkey Chant" on Floating World (1974) incorporates the
Balinese Ketjak chant (which would have been known in the West at the
time from albums in the Nonesuch Explorer Series).
In general, Jade Warrior is the prog band I've run across that seems most influenced by Far Eastern ideas and philosophy, as evidenced by many of their song titles and album covers (and even their name). Side 2 of Kites is a suite based on "the Zen tale of Teh Ch'eng, the Boat Monk" (which story I'm sorry to say I haven't read). But aside from the Monkey Chant, the extent to which any of their music is based on or inspired by any actual Asian MUSIC isn't clear to me. |

Zhaoze are a very good band combining post-rock with Chinese classical music, they seem to be pretty obscure outside Asia though to the point they weren't on PA last time I checked. Here's a review of one of their albums complete with a sample track.
