My picks:
Fruupp
Battiato
Quella Vecchia Locanda
I like that Canadian Franck Dervieux LP, Dimension something.
Yeah I know, but I just want to make sure we talk German, UK, Italian etc.
Then you have your Museo Rosenbach, il Balleto di bronzo, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, Metamorfosi (which is technically from rome).. Lots of great Hard stuff in the same vein as Osanna. The problem with Italian prog is it gets confused alot with alot of basic Italian rock. Not complex stuff. But there was so much amazing music from italy in the 70's. I GIGANTI, Le Orme, Alphataurus, Fabio frizzi, Ennio Morricone, Nino Rota, Bruno Nicolai, blah blah blah..

Nah, let's skip the easy stuff, and get into Korean, Turkish, and South American.

Except the fact I got the lp for something I heard in the movie, and alas it wasn't on the fuck'n lp
N??tt??ra - Since I Found You
Thanks for all those.
If you have some Korean suggestions, hit us off.
digging on this.
and laser, as well as pierrot lunaire and area are great italian bands whose records aren't too hard to come by.
Well, alot of Korean prog is very psych. But you got:
HE5, HE6, MAGMA (not to be confused with the french Magma*[*which is actually a huge influence on alot of modern japanese bands Ruins, etc..]) San ul lim, Shin Jung Hyun. Need more PM me.
- spidey
As for France, Magma of course, and a lot from the Zeul movement initiated by the band.

Pop Instrumental De France
I recommend library Maxi Music on Telemusic too.

Camel is
it is because progressive bands never had such strong identity here and it was naturally mixed with "mainstream" rock for the audience........
for example :
"pooh" was/is a very lame pop band but their very first album has tracks that could be considered good progressive rock
...and let's not forget how PFM in the 2nd part of 70's toured as backing band for Fabrizio de Andr?? (italian popular singer).......
Damn, I wish....That and an AR and Machines album.
Sounds Awesome. How can I pick this up? I have a video here somewhere of Formula 3 with Stevie wonder on drums.

Dude has the Russian prog on LOCK...
Oh, he also gave me a heavily waterdamaged copy of YEAR ONE once but thats American so I suppose it doesn't apply...
Honestly all the Italian stuff I've heard I thought was super weak, and I'm talking big names too (Formula 3, Le Orme, etc)... then again I'm not really a prog guy...
I've never seen or heard any OST's, I know thats where the heat is...
Really?? Where's Marco!!!!
- spidey
you should go with PFM, Banco del mutuo soccorso, Area .....that's the shit
That changeup at 1:55 is
Don't like PFM, haven't heard the others... but like I said, I'm not really a prog guy... I like Kraut and Canterbury stuff, a lil bit of popular UK/US stuff, but thats about it...
I feel you. It's difficult to get into if you don't have a good introduction. I mentioned them here(on the strut) before. Look into a band called "The Giallos Flame" INCREDIBLE modern stuff in the italian Giallo movie style.

Great album. Though I liked them better as Rainbow Band. I have a DJ set here somewhere where Dan the Automator dropped Where you going to be. That cover is completly Wizard Rock though.

As for italian prog,a lot of it is pretentious and meandering.Much of it classically influenced,but here are some of the heavier bands/lp's:
Italian Canterbury? this one:
From South America:
Argentina
Here's a real obscure one from Sweden:
France had TONS of prog bands in the 70's:this one is God.
+Canada-Sloche,Milkweed
Denmark-Blast Furnace
Finland-Tasavalin Presidentti(Lambertland),Finnforest,Pekka Pohjola
blah,blah,blah...I could go on and on.Just some off the top of the dome.
