It's funny that currently on Discogs there's some 20+ sub-division styles of heavy metal, but no divisions whatsoever of prog rock. Like with this, it is prog rock, but has nothing in common whatsoever with the likes of Genesis or Yes. This Japanese band played a very unusual heavy concoction that fused a load of different influences into something often a bit closer to metal, which they saw fit to top with a bizarre female operatic singer. So untypical of prog then, it probably needs a style name all of its own! Source: discogs Listen More

The Malgaard Suite is something of a “lost epic” from Comus: it shows what the band might have done if the follow-up to First Utterance had gone ahead as initially conceived. Because of the poor audio quality, many listeners treat it more as a document / artifact rather than a polished work — the interest lies in hearing the ambition and intensity, rather than expecting studio-quality sound.

Outstanding performance by Legendary vocalist, Jenny Haan

SONCNA POT (En. "The Sunny Street/way/path") was one of the first groups in Yugoslavia to introduce ethno-fusion jazz elements. A short-lived trio consisting of saxophonist and composer Lado Jaksa (ex-PREDMESTJE, SEDMINA, BULDOZER), drummer Ratko Divjak (ex-TIME) and jazz bassist Jordan Gancev. Recorded only once, self-titled and highly recommended album in 1979, which is now a rare collectors item. by Sead S. Fetahagiæ source: progarchives

This early 70's jazz-rock band from Munich has had a rather short career; in fact, it lasted the space of an album called "Nevergreen!", released in 1972. Then the band broke up, most of their members scatttering about in various directions. They consisted of guitarist Markus Sing, soprano and alto sax player Gunther Latuschik, bassist Dave Schratzenstaller, vocalist Gabriel Dominik Mueller, future SAHARA drummer Holger Brandt, and keyboard player Dieter Miekautsch who would later join MISSUS BEASTLY and then EMBRYO source: ProgLucky

Jazz-rock band IZVIR (Eng. "source" or "spring") was formed in Ljubljana (Slovenia, ex-Yugoslavia) back around 1971, although not under that name, and was active until 1978. In this period they released two singles and the eponymous LP album, which today rank as highly valued collectors' items and are rare to find. Source: progarchives
