I kept it small this time, to not lose focus too much as in the case of my large scope threads.
3 instrumental heavy and/or eclectic prog rock acts. All talented (one disbanded) and creative in their own way. What is your favourite way?
http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1275 - 4/3 De Trio

I guess that, since Oaknesam is (in) Symphonic, Eclectic should not mean "Eclectic Prog". I can't say exactly what I like more. Probably Oaknesam, though moderately. Overall, as instrumental musicians, other bands are much more gifted/worthy...these four are, mostly, good to great examples. -------------

I don't have the albums, but from what I know I like Oaksenham and Naikaku best, and they sound very musically talented to me. I should have listened to these more before, love the music.

Regarding Oakensham's myspace site, that Gentle Giant cover of Talybont (song I never cared for) and Three Friends (which I loved) is very uninspired to my ear, whereas, say, Time Out and Rondo are much better. Reminiscent of Avant Prog such as U Totem but not as good, in my opinion.

| No idea, but this is a great way to promote these bands, very cool. |

Right now:
1. Oaksenham
2. Naikaku
3. 4/3 De Trio
For some reason i didn`t enjoy a lot Esratz (sp?), but Naikaku`s Shell and Oaksenham`s Conquest of the Pacific are pleasant listenings to me. ------------- Follow me on twitter @memowakeman |

For Symphonic-folks, those bands are great, especially 4/3 De Trio and Oaksenham.
