    Thanks! I am quite familiar with Shakti and Codona--I view those as proto-world-jazz type things, and enjoy them a lot. In my original comment about a dearth of indo-prog I was really thinking more in terms of sympho prog with an indian bent. Maybe some of the other artists listed in your link are more along those lines?

    I have albums by SUME, GLATADU SPAELIMENNINIR, INNERUULAT and JUAAKA. Interesting listens. JUAAKA is the most prog oriented of them all.

    Sometimes we just have to pull out the heavy professors to get things right around here. Seriously.

    BTW, can I get that Juaaka thang on cassette from my local gas station?

    THIS is the band originally from Faroe Isles IIRC. And a very nice album they did, slightly proggy, richly arranged folk with a charmingly Nordic attitude.

    You got me curious with Juakka, though - never heard of them!

    Well, didn't knew they were Faroans. I always considered them being from Greenland. Thanks very much for the correction Lev.

    Don't imagine anything spectacular. JUAAKA were the brainchild of guitarist and poet Juaaka Lyberth, who assembled a bunch of collaborators and issued two albums on a label named Ulo. "Kalaaleqatikka" in 1978 and "Oqaluttuat Fortællinger" in 1982 (the second in collaboration with AASIVIK BAND). Mostly rock based efforts with very strong melodies, some funk/soul moods, scandinavian folk influences and bits of Floydian guitar leaks. There is an ordinary rock easy-listening base where all this patchwork is harmonically thrown over in a non-offensive manner, which makes the listening pleasurable.

    I just did some checking and think you're right here. My buddy had the Sume, but there was always talk of that Glatadu thing. I believe it was mentioned in one or several of the "usual" collector's fanzines back in the very early 90s.
