THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL SEX OPERA BAND      Weird and wacky stuff! That has to be the strangest half-hour I've ever spent - short of actually attending an international sex opera in Amsterdam, where you're damned if you do, and Amster-damned if you don't.  Tongue

3 stars 1969: The First International Sex Opera Band - Anita - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mN0lVFhRBjuTuKpWZEOt9mJrOFah8Twb8

EDGAR'S HAIR     Another band who almost escaped me..... Edgar's Hair are nothing to do with Edgar Froese's impressive German mullet, but a moody and atmospheric Space Rock band who are somewhere within the orbit of The Netherlands. Where else!? Smile

ASTRAL SON     A Dutch astral traveller who almost got away, but better late than never, eh. Astral Son is the alter ego of guitarist Leonardo Soundweaver, although it doesn't take an astrologer to know that that may not be his real name. Ad Astra! Smile

35007     Arriving Somewhere on a planet near you comes 35007 (albeit slightly out of sequence in the spacetime continuum), a Dutch band from Eindhoven who play a combination of Space Rock and Stoner Rock. 35007 were previously known as "Loose" and if you "spell" 35007 backwards and turn it upside down, you'll find it loosely spells "Loose". in a similar way to how 71077345 "spells" SHELL OIL on a pocket calculator when it's turned upside downSmile

MOLASSESS     Sweet! Molassess are definitely not low-cal but a high calibre Heavy Prog band who should appeal to fans of Anekdoten - unless you're on a diet. Smile

MODEST MIDGET    A small Dutch band with a big impact! They say that good things come in small packages and Modest Midget are a mighty fine band with nothing to be modest about. Enjoy the light show. Smile

MR. ALBERT SHOW     An improbable-sounding Crossover Prog band (named after a Dutch roadie) with some even more improbably-named players. Check out these great Dutch names......
 
Bertus Borgers / saxophone, flute, vocals
Roeland Boogaart / drums
Tom Fautubum / bass
Eric Lintermans / guitars
Bonki Bongaerts / organ  
Floortje Klomp / vocals

MIRROR        Mirror Mirror on the wall, who's the fairest Dutch prog band of them all? Well, that would be Focus, obviously, but Mirror comes a pretty close second in this Ekseptional one-off album of reflective music. Smile

MINOR GIANT     They may be minor giants, but they deserve to be major league players in the wonderful world of Neo Prog.  Smile

MILKY WAY GAS STATION     An intergalactic service centre where you can top up your N.C.C. Starship with dilithium crystals and hear some great music at the same time. Prepare for warp drive! Smile

MESCALINER       A doped up, tripped out Post Rock band - at least if their name is anything to go by - who've sometimes been compared to King Crimson, although don't let that put you off, as they have echoes of Pink Floyd to my untrained ears. Either way, it's music to chill out to while you puff away on a spliff (allegedly), although I didn't inhale.  Tongue

MEDEA     Talking of marathons, Medea specialise in neatly-packaged heavy rock operas for those who don't have time to sit through an entire 24-hour Ayreon marathon. Smile

MARAKESH    You won't find any exotic carpets or hookah pipes here, but you will find a great Crossover Prog band who are full of eastern promise, and at least you'll avoid the warm smell of camel dung rising up through the kasbah. Tongue

5 stars 1976: Marakesh - Marakesh -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-tq6UgtPRs

MANTRA MACHINE     A Dutch Space Rock band who fail to achieve life-off,  but may appeal if Stoner Rock is in your particular orbit. Smile

MANGROVE      Not a Swamp Rock band, but a Dutch Neo Prog band, and when it comes to Neo Prog, the Dutch do it best of all, proving once again that there's much more to Dutch prowess and expertise than just building polders, dykes and windmills.  You don't have to take my word for it though. Just check out the amazing Knight Area & Like Wendy (both  featured here earlier). Mangrove are the band Genesis could've been in the 1980's & 90's. I wish! Marillion, eat your hearts out! If Mangrove aren't a Dutch treat, then I'm a Dutch uncle. Tongue

JOOST MAGLEV      He's got levitation! You can expect a smooth high-speed ride with Maglev's two uplifting albums. Smile

MACHINE       Welcome to the Machine, a band who emerged from Dutch pop-soul legends The Swinging Soul Machine and sounding like a curious cross between Chicago and Deep Purple.
