Mostly true about Yes. There are a couple of great exceptions though:
Cherry Five
Ibis - Sun Supreme
And to a lesser extent, I'll throw in the two albums by Acqua Fragile as well.

New Rhun album titled Tozzos coming out Mar 8. Second new album in as many years!
914986000
New Bondage Fruit album out this week (Bondage Fruit VII) - first one in 19 years!
New album by Mushroom (San Francisco)
This is a great resource - thank you (and the contributors) for it!
Hey Meidad - long time!
I went through this a couple of times quickly, and you may have them in there already, but I didn't catch them:
Climax - Gusano Mecanico (Bolivia)
Aucan - Brotes del...
Oh yea, it would definitely be a coincidence. Aragorn is a 70s archival release from a very obscure group of musicians who also released Snakes Alive and Stepps - Waltz for Tiger Joe. All three are...
The new CD set for Earthstar includes a full disc of unreleased material noted as the "Lost Album". I wonder if it includes any of the two albums you're referencing above? They're calling it on the...
(other Goliath) Yes - I'm quite fond of the Hot Rock & Thunder album. From Terre Haute, Indiana (1974 Bridges). I picked up the LP a couple of years ago. Here are some notes I captured from my last...
The Satin Whale and Earthstar multi sets are certainly top of the current list for me. I have to call out the Humans Only album by Earthstar. That has to be one of the best old school freaky...
Funny to see this, as this kind of gag really did exist on Alt.Music.Progressive back in 1995. To which I happily chimed in with.
The reality is I've spent what seems like my entire hobby life...
Years ago I put together a list on RYM that addresses this very topic. Most of which is likely to have already been called out here. But there might be a few gems here for the curious:
The...
Steve got back to me (many thanks to him!): "Definitely not Max Speed Limit. Not even close." OK - back to the drawing board.... I'll keep my ears to the ground on it. Hope the real story emerges....
I was summoned here (cheers Mark!). Straight up, I'd never heard this before. So I pulled out all the tricks from my DBA past, but no hits there either. Sorry folks!
Maximum Speed Limit is...
Thanks for the sample H. For whatever reason I could not find any. Added to his "band" page...
Agreed. Thought there would be more love here at PE for Mr. Schickert. Oh and RYM is reporting a release date of February 15.
And beyond those 2 original LPs you mentioned, there's some other...
^ All 5 of these are great in my book. It took me years to really appreciate Spring and Bodkin, but now I enjoy the heck out of them.
I haven't heard this one yet myself (though I'm most anxious to pick it up as soon as it hits these shores), but a friend in Paris confirms it's just as great as the description from the label (Long...
This one reads like it will be fantastic. One to look forward to I think!
Label says: "Günter Schickert's debut Samtvogel (1975) was one of the most significant guitar albums of the krautrock...
Agreed!
Still looking for answers about the US release. Good info about the French copy though (still curious about the CD and the overall sound of both the CD & LP). And believe me, all the...
Looking for information. So I bought the LP on Music Research Library (USA). It's a single sleeve, with no CD. The short sheet inside talks about the album being traded via tape dub back in the day,...
I guess I don't quite get the connotation of the Snob Video. I'm probably missing the intent altogether.
It seems every time we begin to share knowledge, someone comes along with an underlying...
Very cool! Is there a website, Facebook, or anything else on the net? Not finding much beyond the YouTube clip. Makes it easier to keep up :)
Nor the 1969 band (on ABC) from the USA! This Goliath was from Louisville, and had one album released in 1975 called Hot Rock & Thunder. This track comes from an archival comp that was recorded in......
'We've Had It Right From the Start' is very memorable. Songwriting at its finest. I revisited the album this summer, and I can hum it in my head right now without hearing the clip. And yes, I do love...
Cheers! :beer
Agreed - the whole album is great, but if I were to choose its masterpiece, I'd go with 'Jump Bed Jed'. My notes on it state: A lengthy track, it combines both the band's songwriting acumen with a...
I think Adonis is super and their best followed by Piktors. Those are the only 2 I own. I didn't care for the others some 25 years ago, but I should hear them again. My tastes are far more tolerant...
Odin is really one of the greats in my world. They really capture that early UK proto meets Krautrock vibe (they were like Nektar and their album was released only in Germany originally). Long Hair...
Just to update my own note here. Looks like Black Widow has updated their website and now Metaphysical Animation is coming out on CD as well! Not sure if it will be separate or all-in-one (LP+CD),...
That's my understanding too, Sean. Here is what I stated on the CDRWL: "Belle Antique of Japan will be reissuing this on CD. Though there have been numerous reissues in the past, most cross the...
Took me a bit to find info here, but it's a new AMS release and the title is Eden. Here's what the label says: "Among the names that no Italian prog enthusiast can do without we undoubtedly have the...
In my world there hasn't been a "bust year" since like 1986. Those were lean years for traditional progressive rock fans (of course metal and even avant prog were doing quite well then). There's just...
My 2 cents on Scherzoo. I really enjoyed the debut, but wasn't too enthralled with the second one (it's certainly good and I still own it though). I never heard 3, but plunked down for 04 on the...
Been awhile since I posted these lists, but here are my Priority 1 and 2 CD wants.
Of note, some of these have been reissued legit on LP, but not CD. Examples: Atila - Reviure (Wah Wah);...
Yep - most curious about it too. Ken stated in his catalog that it was better than the 77 album.
Cool - I'll get it then.
Somehow I missed that Node had a new live album this year on DiN. The ratings are lower across the board on both Gnosis and RYM. What's the story on this one? Node 2 (2014) is one of my all-time...
Let's see... I'll exclude USA and Netherlands since you mentioned them in the prelude. There are some from the French school that are similar to the Berlin School but leaving off...
Guessing you...
Really good to hear about these. I was sort of on the fence about Zeno after their last one. Segno's last album was great too. And Baba Yaga is a new name to me, but sounds excellent!
I haven't heard any of these bands here on pg. 12 (Kanaan, OrgAAn, Cobalt Chapel). They all read very interesting!
Yep - I remember the name too, but I think by that time I was a little leery of what was being called Neo Prog (1989). The CD I did receive (it was a gift from a friend) is the domestic Israeli press...
Catching up on this post. I'll always have a soft spot for the genre, as it came about just as I was getting into prog myself in the early 80s while still in high school. I can still remember the...
:lol
No - never did. I saw Apps79 review before, and it sure doesn't sound too appealing.
Interesting. Flamen Dialis' Facebook page also references it as the Yecta Blues Band. Deep...
In the liner notes for the Mio CD reissue of Flamen Dialis they mention that the group was formed from the ashes of the Yecta Plus Band.
According to these same notes, there was a single released...
Hmm...my notes tell a slightly different story, but I haven't heard it in a long while. Side 2 for certain does fit the bill (which is the side this clip comes from). Side 1 is more song oriented,...
Love the band for sure. Really great Swedish old school psych, similar to the early 70s greats like Flasket Brinner. Have everything except this title and the "In Concert" album.
El Reloj II is really an apt comparison here. Or even Cargo (Netherlands) from a few years before. And yea, Steve Harris is a known prog head, and given that it was released on a major label in...
:up Good to know and will do!
I really think the first album Fear & Anxiety is great. It's one that has held up well over the years, and a couple of recent listens have only enhanced my experience.
My recollection is that...
A long time favorite here. Found an original LP in 1985 while still in college, one of the first prog obscurities I ever bought (and unwittingly so). Will always hold onto the original, but it sure...
>Mad Fellaz 2018/2019
We have a release date for this one: January 26th. Unimaginatively titled "III"
12499
Agreed - a very good fusion album from late 70s Finland, more raw perhaps like something you might find on the German MPS label. I picked up the Svart LP reissue when it came out, as I wasn't sure it...
:up Thanks! Sometimes it seems I write these reviews only for myself to read...
(Ian - sent you a note as well....)
Hi... just sent you a private PM. My apologies, as I've been out traveling for business all week and haven't been here on PE. Anyway.... more to come. Hang in there :)
Wow - that's great to hear about Ain Soph. Interesting to see all of these bands from 30 to 40 years ago (or even 50 - witness Baby Grandmothers this month) suddenly reforming and putting out new -...
Cool. I always liked this band, though I admit to enjoying their more "psychedelic take on Present" early albums verse the more "rehearsal intensive" Saturnal. I've fallen a bit behind with them...
^Oops! You're right of course. Old notes... Updating original post.
Who remembers these guys? Jumpin Jon Egan is still a member and Seaweed has been in the past. The music is bit more Kosmische than Festival, but still very much in line with space rock. They had a...
Agree with Neil. There's more new progressive music than most can handle I think (there's probably 700-800 listings for 2018 alone): https://newprogreleases.blogspot.com/p/2017.html
