Steamboat Switzerland is a Swiss RIO/Avantgarde trio which plays ver experimental kid of prog rock/experimental music based on Hammond organ (not classical sounding at all, extremely experimantal for me !!). To be honest I've listened only to one of their album...and I didn't like it toomuch. I expected something a la ELP which it surely isn't. However I suppose RIO fans can be interested.
I don't know about this style too much but I'm sure this band should be included on PA. In fact they are really "too progressive" for my ears

They are definitely worth inclusion
RIO/Avant ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

None of the samples there work for me (and I have my ADSL connection back now). There are also samples here: http://www.marinopliakas.com/mp3.html - http://www.marinopliakas.com/mp3.html but they only play for a few seconds. Based on them I agree the ZART should evaluate this first. I'll ask them. |

I've seen these guys live about 9 years ago. there was 10 people in the audience, six of them working for the club owner..... >> so only four entrance and little more at the bar >>> you can bet that the Steamboat never sailed in that area again .
drummer plays on one side of the stage, facing the would-be Emerson keyboardist and center-back stage is the bassist playing from behind his double tablature holder his handwritten book. the thing was rougly 75c; wide, so opened , he needed two holders.... ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

I've listened to their "Wertmüller" (2005) and felt they should be a clear case for inclusion in RIO/Avant.  If Teams need more of their samples, I'll send them soon.  ------------- http://www.facebook.com/damoxt7942" rel="nofollow">
