Any proghead interested in the DVD by Dutch progrock group Plackband? It's wonderful 24-carat symphonic rock in the vein of mid-Genesis, I would like to recommend it!

Cert's album of the month for the rest of this month is Definition by Chrysalis, which carries a peculiarly May-time flavour.

It's not on the site (yet), but if Frank Zappa liked the band and subsequently employed its members then they're good enough for me.

Released in 1969, it's very light and folksy to start with, but various flavours of jazz and fuzzed-out psychedlia waft their way through almost magically, until we get to the Zappa-esque Dr Root's Garden, a psychotic psychedelic romp of madness.

More info (and mp3's) here and here

You can get it very cheaply at Amazon, I've found...
The important thing is not to stop questioning.

I'd like to recommend:
 
stern combo meissen
 
a little bit obscure (east-german, 70's), but I managed to get my hands on a greatest hits compilation.
 
extraordinary music.

I can't remember if I recommended this here before, but anyway I have made an interview with the Israeli band Sympozion and it can be read here:
 
 
They are listed on PA, and they have released a good debut symphonic prog album.
You'll have all the info in this interview (plus links).
 
Read and discover.

First of all, it is debatable if this is prog at all. Nevertheless, I think Jaga Jazzist are one of the most original and interesting bands nowadays, as they pretty much defy any categorization. Their style blends Jazz with Electronica and Post-Rock, so it's definitely not something you hear on a day to day basis. The melodies are instantly catchy, but there's more to their music than meets the eye at first glance. You can find new things in their music even after 10 spins. I would recommend this band to anyone who enjoys Post-rock, modern Jazz, Frank Zappa's jazzy works etc.
I recommend watching this video for the song oslo skyline from this album

I`d like to recommend the debut album from norwegian band Gargamel: Watch for the umbles.

   

All who love Anekdoten, Anglagard and Wobbler should check this out. They have a great 70s sound, but I find them more original than say Wobbler. And it´s got that great scandinavian touch to it

This is absolute must for every attentive listener of prog.
 
 
 
 
I agree completely. I have recommended them a few pages ago in this thread, and I am glad you love it as much.
 
 
 
 
 
On another note, I wanted to recommend the recent addition to PA of the Italian prog-metal band Novembre, but I read a very good and extensive review of their album Novembrine Waltz by ivansfr0st (Ivan), and I think it will do a better service than my recommendation.

I recommend:
 
In the Fishtank
 
Motorpsycho + Jaga Jazzist Horns - In The Fishtank (2003)
 
Tracklist:
  1. Bombay Brassière (5:57)
  2. Pills, Powders and Passion Plays (7:05)
  3. Doffen Ah Um (4:57)
  4. Theme de Yoyo (7:28)
  5. Tristano (20:53)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Excellent mix of jazz, experimental and alternative rock with some proggy parts inbetween. The final track is a massive experimental piece, which is repetetive, yet still highly interesting! Strongly recommended album.
RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on!

I'll have to recommend my new CD, Deep Horizon, for a variety of reasons. 1. I feel it's quite good. 2. I think it's appeal might lie in the merging of a variety of musical influences under the guise of prog metal. 3. It's got some cool graphics in the booklet. 4. Well, it's modern and accessible, yet has plenty of "prog" elements. 5. I figure someone has to start the ball rolling, and since I don't have the financial or public relations backing of a major or indie label, I better take a stab at exposing the masses to my music.

Succinctly put, if you dig Fates Warning, Rush, Dream Theater, Queensryche, Zero Hour, Iron Maiden, Journey, Asia, and Marillion, you may really dig this one (and the previous ones, as well). Thanks for your listening time and consideration.

That's what I thought, but cannot see his name amongst the 10 members, so maybe he's left...

I believe one of the members of Jaga Jazzist has something to do with another band... possibly White Willow or Wobbler... does anyone know?
