AERODROM A Pop/Rock band from the former Yugoslavia before it was Balkanised in the early 1990's. Aerodrom failed to take off in the rest of Europe but they're notable for featuring Yugoslavia's answer to Bob Geldof..... "Just give us your _______ money!" Disapprove

Let's not forget this Greek jazzy psych/folk classic form 1976 (with cool native Greek vocals)
Ηρακλής (Iraklis) - Σε άλλους κόσμους (Se Allous Kosmous). |

Zalmoxe by Sfinx (Romania) is a decent album.
The only problem I have is that it was released, like, 7 or 8 years too late. ;p By 1978 it was extremely fricking outdated both in terms of the style and the production. Guess that's because back then, before the advent of cable TV, the poorer Global South countries would get the latest music news with a noticable delay. Edited by Hrychu - May 11 2025 at 01:07 |

Way back not too far from the start of the internet, when the average prog forum was dominated by serious heads and not kiddies, there was this prog site called Janet`s Nipple which I frequented a lot.
Handful of us went into rather great detail (considering the time) covering progpsych jumping from country to country. Some of the Balkans covered were:Jugoslavia,Croatia,Turkey,Romania,Bulgaria. I don`t think you can find Janet`s Nipple anymore (using a search like Wayback Machine whatever) but I saved it all to my old tower computer. And, no, I`m not going to post any HERE. |

If to consider Istanbul as a part of Balkans, a fine progressive (not Prog) album, Elektronik Turkuler (1974), is made by Erkin Koray from that city. |

I believe I found something cool from a non-Slav or a non-Jugo Balkan state. :p

^ Fun project.
For another not actually Balkan, but influenced by its music (more serious) Afenginn from Denmark is good. Anastasia is a neoclassical, darkwave, folk and electronic proggy in a Dead Can Dance Way act from Macedonia. I got to know it through soundtrack music first. Here's one track I like from it: Edited by Logan - May 09 2025 at 11:09 |

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.
