Hereby second poll with the focus on the 1970s' lesser known, non-UK Prog Rock beauties, and again multiple voting is possible and very welcomed. I'd also be happy if you could leave a post telling about your voting.  (The first poll: https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=132066" rel="nofollow - 1970s' non-UK Prog Rock beauties (1) ) ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

I only know the two Japanese albums in the poll, so it's a double vote for Far East Family Band and Flower Travellin' Band.

That's true, but I only listened to Electric Sandwich for the very first time this morning after seeing it in your Krautrock playlist. An electric sandwich maker, otherwise known as George Foreman's lean mean fat-reducing grilling machine. |

FM'd Headroom from this list but Black Noise is ebven bettetr. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

The reason for I've got Headroom is the special, direct to disc recording, and I've never heard Black Noise, yet - but I know, it's higher rated both on PA and RYM than Headroom. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

FM. My right foot is my underbrain, left foot forward, elbows in camel code, bring my shoulder blades together and slowly breathe through my armpits. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

Out of a handful of good picks for me, Satori and Sagan om Ringen are the two I feel like mentioning. Both of which I've owned and loved for a couple of decades by now, and still listen to every once in a while. -------------

I've heard some of Black Noise by now, but I don't like it better, as it's like proto-Neo while Headroom is in line with classic Prog, and it has grown well on me. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

Very different stuff Black Noise is a sci-fi themed album (and extremely well-recorded/produced by Terry Brown: Rush & Max Webster)./ It's also my fave because it's the only one with Nash The Slash. Headroom was almost totally forgotten because never reissued (both on vinyl and CD) until some seven years ago. The original Direct To Disc was pressed in very limited quantities back then. They recorded the same two sidelong tracks four times each and selected which was better to release. I suppose each version was probably fairly different, because the two selected versions sound somewhat improvised at times. They could still release a full-session boxset. I suppose that the other three versions still exist somewhere in a basement ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

An interesting list.....I have a cd of Ache which I like , it reminds me of Julians Treatment.,,,a favorite of mine. I own several copies of the original first vinyl by FM-Blacknoise....but have yet to see the second (at one point this record store near me had 3 copies in the bins for $5 each of Blacknoise.) I have heard Heldon and Hanson but only own later things by them, and have some tracks by Flower Travelin band on a compilation of hard psych rock. Dont know the others. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

| Bo Hansson's Sagan om Ringen is a particular favourite of mine. I also like that Heldon very much, and I have enjoyed the Far East Family Band, Flower Travellin' Band and Guruh Gipsy. |

Guruh Gipsy's sole album from 1977 is only little known on PA but not so little appreciated internationally. With its strong influences of the Indonesian traditional, Gamelan music, it's a very rare Prog album, and which I find very exiting. Here's the first track of it: ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

I think of Dragon's album as one of the better European Prog works from the second half of the 1970s, but also reflecting the changes to come when compared to the first half. Here's a sample of it: ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |
