Was listening to Myth America on vinyl yesterday and loving it.

I also have their first "Full Circle" on vinyl and "Secret Stories" on CD. They really didn't put out many albums, but I love each of them. Their music was a mix of world music, jazz and classical. Very progressive, but not rock - definitely on the jazz side but also definitely world music with African and Brazilian influences.
Any other fans here?
Anything else like them that you would recommend?

A gentleman is defined as someone who knows how to play the accordion, and doesn't.
I only have their first one on LP:

Not a real fan, but I remember I liked the music. Haven't played the record for years and when I found a cheap CD-version I didn't even buy it.
Caldera would be something to compare them with, although they are more in the Latin and jazzrock-vein.
Lito Vitale Cuarteto comes to mind too.
nice information
thanks all
Don't know the band, but from the description, you may want to check out Air Craft.

A great Dixie Dregs album that few people are aware of.....
I have all the Caldera, on vinyl too of course since they never made it over to CD. Yes, that would be a valid comparison I think. I will check out Air Craft.Originally Posted by interbellum

Actually, the first two have been out on CD for a while (Caldera and Sky Isalnds), and incredibly, Dreamer is supposed to come out as well (check Amazon for more détails)

That was also the first thing I thought when seeing the thread title. One of their best.
I received Dreamer last week from Japan. Personally I think it's their best, most progressive one. Wonderful Moog-playing and guitar-solo's.
Sky Islands was released in Japan too, but came out later with Caldera on one CD in the USA.
Shadowfax, especially everything after their progressive jazz-rock debut Watercourse Way (the original).
Has anyone read the book "A Pause In The Rain" by Joy Greenberg, Chuck's widow? I liked it, partly because it was written by someone who doesn't come from the music scene, which makes it a more personal than musical biography.
It was their last, but far from their best.
Also a scary but beautiful soundtrack by Colin Towns:

Yeah, huge fan here. Have at least three of their albums. The band always had great bass players. Didn't Kai Eckhardt play withy them for an album or two?.
