^ Abaddons Bolero

ELP again but the Aquatarkus section of Tarkus has marching drums and also A March is the last section Of An Officer and A Gentleman from Love Beach.

Not prog but the Thunderbirds and Stingray themes by The Barry Gray Orchestra should be well on your radar.

Anytime a prog group did a version of bolero (often aping Ravel's)....

Triumph's first movement of the three-part The City is called War March.

I've always thought this song by the English psychedelic band Bachdenkel has a good solid, military-sounding marching rhythm to it.....

Looking for stuff that sounds like an army from antiquity marching across the land. Some examples would be the end of Magma’s “Kreühn Köhrmahn Iss de Hündin” (from about 1:49 on):

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oDAVTw86H9E

Amon Duul II’s “Eye Shaking King” (especially the eastern-sounding main riff)

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8DCn4_OT3KU

Or even Howard Shore’s Isengard theme (in a proggy 5/4 meter):

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KXVtpOHQqvY

Any deep Magma cuts that explore this sort sound further? Maybe other Zeuhl or Krautrock bands?

Thanks
