SYLVIUM       Heavy Dutch Prog from Sylvium, with an album titled "The Gift of Anxiety." Does that have anything to do with guitarists doing a lot of fretting?

4 stars 2013: Sylvium - The Gift of Anxiety - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kxUP5_DiSqhz0JdShPoZdcwZN-kV3V1pQ

PETER SWART      I'm on a sticky wicket with Dutch Crossover Prog guitarist Peter Swart as I'm stumped for information about him, but one thing I do know is that he shares his name with a Rhodesian cricketer. Howzat!

SUPERSISTER     No known relation to British Canterbury Scene bands, Dutch band Supersister are more like a second cousin, twice removed. They may be a long way from the dreaming spires of Canterbury, but this is some of the most complex Canterbury Scene music you'll hear North of Hatfield. Music is supposed to be good for the Soul, so they should prescribe this music on the National Health. Be warned though: it may take several listens to truly appreciate the intricacies of Supersister's albums, which is sometimes as difficult as trying to juggle Moving Gelatine Plates, but ultimately rewarding.

3 stars 1970: Supersister - Present from Nancy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SurjxwfHNu8
3 stars 1971: Supersister - To the Highest Bidder - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MU5026Bj3S0
3 stars 1972: Supersister - Pudding en Gisteren - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwzcBzD-SsM
3 stars 1973: Supersister - Iskander - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94yD3bq_ioU

SUNGRAZER       Named after a comet which flies too close to the sun at perihelion, in contrast with Sungrazer the band who inhabit the dark outer reaches of the Space Rock orbital sphere at aphelion, so time to throw a little more light on them.

SUMMER BREEZE PROJECT      Channelling the Isley Brothers with more Dutch Neo Prog which makes me feel fine, moving through the jasmine in my mind.

STARS & STIPS       When it comes to obscure Dutch bands, the Jazz-Rock band Stars & Stips are about as obscure as they come. In this Dutch version of a super-group with four stars of the Dutch music scene (including two members of Golden Earring) getting together for a one-off album project, I think you'll agree there are shades of Ashton, Gardner & Dyke's "Resurrection Shuffle" to be heard in the "Judas Shuffle" video below, which can't be a bad thing. Smile

SPLINTER       Windmills, canals, tulips, cheese.... and Neo Prog! These are some of the things that the Dutch are famous for and when it comes to the best of Neo Clog Prog, Splinter are a chip off the old block. Smile

SOLUTION      Originally known as the "Soulution", until a Divergence of musical differences led to a split with one half of the band wanting to play soulful songs and the other half wanting to play complex pieces of Jazz-Rock. Solution therefore cooked up a Cordon Bleu plan to split the band in two at the same time as  dropping the "u" from "Soulution", thereby completing the Fully Interlocking ideal Solution on the road to Runaway success - at least in The Netherlands anyway, if not the rest of the world.  Smile

MIRA SNELDER      A composer of infinitely complex instrumental pieces which are hard to categorise - meaning she's inevitably categorised as Eclectic Prog here at PA. Mira Snelder is a notoriously shy performer where she's not only Conspicuously Absent from her four album covers, but in addition, the only photos of Mira on the Internet show her with an upturned steel litter bin over her head. Tongue

SKYLAKE      Not a new Bond movie or even a microprocessor, but the sky's the limit for a female-fronted Crossover Prog combo from Utrecht. Smile

SKY ARCHITECT       Architects of their own success, Sky Architect are a Heavy Prog band from Rotterdam who come locked and loaded with all of the sonic power and diversity of Porcupine Tree - but without a prickly frontman - and where their heaviest artillery barrage is held in reserve for their most recent album: Nomad. Smile

SILHOUETTE       A superior Neo Prog band from Utrecht who overshadow most Neo Prog bands that you may have heard before. One of the best Dutch acts with no alternative facts.  That's Silhouette in outline. Smile

SHOCKING BLUE       Shocking Blue were formed in The Hague by Robbie van Leeuwen back in 1967, although the band will always be best-remembered for eye-catching singer Mariska Veres (1947-2006).  Her weapons were her crystal kohl-rimmed eyes and husky voice, and with hair as black as the dark night, making every man mad for her. Wow! She's got it! Yeah, baby, she's got it! Heart

SENNEN      A Dutch Post Rock band, where Post Rock is an umbrella term for mainly instrumental music that meanders endlessly and effortlessly like a stream of consciousness, whereas "brolly" is an umbrella term for an umbrella.  Smile

SCOPE       An obscure Jazz-Rock/Fusion band from the obscure Dutch town of Zwolle, brought to you courtesy of the amazing Terminal Passage channel on YouTube, where there's a profusion of Jazz Fusion (and much more besides) just waiting to be discovered throughout the passage of time. Why not Scope it out. Smile

TON SCHERPENZEEL       Ton Scherpenzeel isn't exactly a household name (even in his own household), but he's played on no less than four Camel albums (three studio and one live) as well as being the keyboard maestro behind Dutch Symphonic Prog legends, Kayak. He's also the band's chief composer, producer, arranger and lyricist, so if it wasn't for having Scherpenzeel in the band, then Kayak would be up the creek without a paddle, so to speak. Tongue
