Hi all! 

I was wondering if someone could recommend me more of these "hidden gems" such as Circus - Movin' on and Comus - First Utterance? I would truly appreciate it. I've heard most of the "mainstream" prog bands already so something new would be nice.

Thanks.

Thanks greenback and Possessed. I can accept italian vocals for sure.. The only Italian prog band I've heard so far is Le Orme. I do like them. Now I just need to find these albums somewhere.

Blackfeather's At The Mountain Of Madness (Aussie prog from 1971 with AC/DC's Bon Scott on recorder!)

Amazing Blondel's England (lovely progressive folky stuff)

Colosseum's Valentyne Suite (bluesy/jazzy father of prog)

T2's It'll All Work Out In Boomland (outstanding prog trio from early 70s)

Back Door - Back Door (part jazz, part prog with one of the best bassists you'll ever hear in Colin Hodgkinson)
"Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century. "Surrender, you pathetic dreamer.”



"No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present."

More Coming in the featured band , This is why it was created and next week I will send a suggestion , but M@X has to have some MP3  - there is no point in doing so without it.

I was thinking of Spring , but this one may not be that unknown, though.

Karn9:

Steel Mill is an excellent suggestion but it is probably too hard to find: The vinyl came out in 200 copies and the Cd in 1000 copies. And from what I know, out of print.

Try anything from Quebec band Octobre. I`ve still got a few vinyl editions but if you can find anything by them recorded during the mid to late seventies go for it. Might be a little pricey though but well worth it. As long as you don`t mind French lyrics they are Quebec`s answer to Gentle Giant , King Crimson , Yes and others fom the seventies. They keyboard player and drummer kick ass.

I can think of better Quebec bands as Hidden Gems than Octobre (still good though). You might want to check out the thread on Quebec prog for names.
