Early British spaced out, psychedellic, folky/jazzy prog rock from Curved Air (1970) and Soft Machine (1972)..........

In 1977 no one told the delightfully named German band Grobschnitt that punk had made prog the uncoolest music in the world. Self indulgent, etherial, highly musical, concept albums with Roger Dean gatefold artwork, what were they thinking of? If you like Yes and or Genesis, try 'Rockpommels Land'..........

Sarah McLachlan - `Wintersong` (cd)

From Thailand, the band are called Kluay Thai, the album is 'Sib Song Sat' and the music is enthusiastic, US influenced, metal. It is sung in Thai with the appropriate metal gravel roars thrown in and it is genuinely very good..........

Absolutely sublime.

Some excellent releases that I had neglected, sort of fit in the noise/drone side of things.

Ashtray Navigations - Four More Raga Moods

Organ Eye - Organ Eye

Robedoor - Unsummoning

Some folky/celtic/punk rock in a similar-ish vein to The Pogues.

It is so nice to have a system that can handle the intimacy of the song disc and then the weight and epic scale of the Muse without even blinking an eyelid.

From the lighter, more etherial end of prog rock, akin to the group Yes....

Jethro Tull - `Cristmas Album` (cd)

Another complete change of style. I love this album.

I havent listened to this for a while and it has grown on me even more. Norway's Jarga Jazzist at their most eclectic and now one of my all time favourite albums.
