Which prog music you recommend me that is related to faeries and goblins? I like Gryphon early albums, Malicorne and Faun. Also some stuff from Jethro Tull, Pete Sinfield's "The Piper". Also Tangerine Dream's "Legend". I'd like to find more "faerie" music of this kind, but I don't dig New Age stuff. I'm looking for a more traditional / folk oriented music and atmospheric prog. Any thoughts?

Queen II has a few Faerie related tracks on it, and is a fantastic album in general. If you're looking for folk/traditional stuff, you might want to check out Steeleye Span.

| Thanks, I know all of these, great music btw! But I was thinking more of music that culturally and musically has to do with the faerie world or have a similar atmosphere, instead of any songs with lyrics that just mention faeries. Comus "Diane" it's a good one that i didn't know! |

| Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but Neige of Alcest has described his work as a musical adaptation of a "fairy land" he fantasized about as a child. His latest album Écailles de Lune is definately worth checking out regardless of whether it fits the category of faerie related prog. |

| I believe Bo Hannson might have something. Check out Greg Walker's website Synphonic Music. Also check and see if "The Enid" have any titles. |

I'd suggest 'Faerie Symphony' by Tom Newman - very Oldfieldish, if that's your thing, and nicely atmospheric. Stretching the definition a bit, there's a nice ambitious piece called 'All in the golden afternoon' by a rock composer called Ian Neal - it's based in his reflections on the 'Alice' books, rather than traditional faerie lore. |

Aerie Faerie Nonsense by the Enid is rather good (symphonic prog) but devoid of any tiny fictional beings I'm afraid

Spinal Tap has a song called Stonehenge which really calls to mind this subject but maybe not specifically goblins and fairies I guess. Plus its supposed to be satire, but its one of their best songs. Some stuff by Genesis also comes to mind, Lady Lies, Lillywhite Lilith, The Lamia, Trick of A Tail (especially actually)... There is stuff by Uriah Heep too that I think has goblins, or at least Abomanogs. |

There is something queer and superficial about Fairy/Goblin divide.... pretty little flying creatures full of magic and light, dark little ugly hiding creatures.... Great way to feed stereotypes and bind everyone in "weak imagination" Life is not "a living story," and ugly people like myself often more good to them then a lot of pretty scoundrels and cheats. |

| This is not prog, but I really like it, Haggard's "Herr Mannelig". It is a traditional scandinavian folk song, played in a metal way. Though, for some weird reason, the band decided to sing this one in italian. It is one of the very few songs this band sings without growling. And it's about a Troll woman who falls in love with a human, whom is Herr Mannelig. |

Thank you SO MUCH for this tip. I've listened to it and this just what I was looking for. It's one of the finest pieces of music that I've listened to in a long time. It has traditional folk roots but it's progressive and very atmospheric at the same time. I wish I could find more music like this...

Ange is pretty good band and in Au Dela du Délire they talk about demons and goblins. It's also a little bit medievaly influenced. ------------- La victoire est éphémère mais la gloire est éternelle! - Napoléon Bonaparte |

Well,...it's about time someone mentions this band? It doesn't seem to happen all that often? Does that mean they suck?.........
 Only kidding! BTW, since you went the distance and recommended Ange, may I ask, what planet are you from? and am I welcome to visit there? "Au Dela du Delire" has been reviewed many times but, is hardly mentioned by those who put emphasis on Yes and Genesis. Don't go there right? Okay! enough said!I would like to add a 3rd or fourth time that GOBLIN....Profondo Rosso is a must! A must! It figures that a thread revolving around the subject matter of faerie and goblin interests would be the only way to bring fans of underground bands out of the woodwork? Isn't that ironic? Now we should post threads on the importance of bands like these just as many do with the big 5 or 6. |

LOONEY:
the persons "contributing" to this thread are feeding you a load of rank shoite.
These are not prog yet they are definitely what you are after.
They reference poets/writers like Sidal, Rossetti and Dunsany:
Bob Johnson & Pete Knight "King of Elfland's Daughter"
Goblin Market
Smell of Incense (The Norwegian band, not the US) - their 2nd & third lps
Also you might try side one of Sally Oldfield "Waterbearer"
