I also suggested Olympic for Crossover. Particulary for their albums Holidays on Earth, The Street and Laboratory (Prázdniny na Zemi, Ulice a Laboratoř).
There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

Well, you can always try this:

http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51596

look for Ukraine and PA shows that your country lists 8 bands. It's great resource.

And if it's not enough for you, write to this guy: His name is Igor and he's from Ukraine as well. I hope he'll help you more than I can.

Speaking about Olympic, they have the album trilogy: Holidays On Earth, The Street and The Laboratory. The music is very close to Progressive Metal, Symphonic Rock. But indeed, they got popularity in the late 60s as Big Beat band.

But Mr. O, why do you think that Czech Republic is the most Progressive country from the former Eastern Block ? You know some of our artists ? :-)

There were so many professional Prog rock bands in the former Czechoslovakia.

Synkopy & Oldřich Veselý
Olympic
Collegium Musicum
Jazz Q
Blue Effect
Ota Petřina
Bohemia
Progress Organization
Václav Neckář - Planetarium
Dežo Ursiny
Fermata


I don't think Olympic should be on the list.I would rather see there CK Vocal,Flamengo and more radical bands like Mch Band,Extempore or Svehlík.

Some time ago, I saw one guy informally suggesting Olympic. You know the same thing as I do, Olympic are Pop Rock, nebo taky bigbít hudba, but simply not Prog. But I was curious and listened album Ulice, which sounds little bit better, but I'm still not sure if they're Prog enough to get here.

They have better albums, worse albums, but some of them are more Prog, some are not. Which ones I should listen to ?


Švehlík - Stehlík - MCH Band, what's the relationship between these bands ? I saw last week's edition of Bigbít and it was about all these weird groups, Extempore, Žabí hlen, Švehlík ... very nice episode.

So you know the good ones. Indeed, our country's music scene was quite big, despite all attempts to cease it. It's not bad even now, but 69-89 is somehow better than 90-10

^ Except obvious choice of Poland. But I'm already working on beating Poland with PA artists per capita :-)

EDIT:

And as I can see, it has been done.

Poland has 38.000.000 for 92 bands
while
Czech Republic has 10.500.000 for 33 bands.


You do the math.

The best Prog album from Romania is Sfinx - Zalmoxe. I think Czech Republic is the most Progressive country from the former Eastern Block.
