Pjesme sa planine

The new compilation comes from Yugoslavia. Whether because it was a communist country or simply because of the language barrier, very few bands from Yugoslavia gained some international success. Lack of quality in their music certainly was not the main reason. For instance, Prog Archives users recommend Indexi's Modra rijeka as a masterpiece of progressive rock music. Also, bands like Tako and Igra staklenih perli are highly rated.

Requiescant in Pace

Requiescant in Pace is an Italian prog rock collection. I must admit that I was really astonished when I learnt that Italy was a great rock nation, with even a prog rock sub-genre of its own! Not only did they develop their own prog style, but it was also comparable to the British or German ones in terms of quality. The first band I was introduced to was PFM, as probably most of us were. I liked them from the very first listening, so I started exploring their discography. One after another, I met more and more fantastic bands. A couple of years later, I made sure I didn't miss a single album of the genre.

Tracks:

1. Osanna - Oro Caldo 18:31
2. Premiata Forneria Marconi - La Carozza di Hans 6:45
3. Banco del Mutuo Soccorso - R.I.P. (Requiescant in Pace) 6:40
4. Area - Le Labbra Del Tempo 6:40
5. Gleemen - Dei o Confusione 3:32
6. Jumbo - Hai Visto 7:19
7. Campo di Marte - Sexto Tempo 5:09
8. Quella Vecchia Locanda - Il Tempo della Gioia 6:16
9. Il Balletto di Bronzo - Secondro Incontro / Terzo Incontro 7:39
10. Alphataurus - Peccato D'Orgoglio 12:22

You Don't Know What's Happening

You Don't Know What's Happening is a compilation of some classic, more or less progressive, German underground rock. It's impossible to choose any favourites among these bands, because for years it was my favourite sub-genre, and any new discovery was a real fortune. I just love them all!

1. Birth Control - She's Got Nothing On You (Rebirth 1973) 5:06
2. Frumpy - I'm Afraid, Big Moon (By the Way 1972) 6:28

8. Kraan - Jack Steam (Wintrup 1973) 5:55
9. Virus - Going On (Thoughts 1971) 4:34
10. Embryo - You Don't Know What's Happening (Opal 1970) 4:52

Songs Within Songs

The first compilation I'm posting is some classic UK prog. The bands that defined the genre. I can't really say that all these bands are my favourite, though. Most of the later Yes, Genesis, Van der Graaf Generator and King Crimson I find rather uninteresting and sometimes difficult to listen. However, their earlier works are all masterpieces. My clear all-time favourites (among these bands) are Pink Floyd, Camel, Jethro Tull, East Of Eden and Gentle Giant.

Tracks:
1. Gentle Giant - Pantagruel's Nativity (Acquiring The Taste 1971) 6:53
2. Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Knife-Edge (Emerson, Lake & Palmer 1970) 5:09
3. King Crimson - Cat Food (In The Wake Of Poseidon 1970) 4:55
4. Van der Graaf Generator - House With no Door (H to he, who am the Only one 1970) 6:30
5. Camel - Song Within A Song (Moonmadness 1976) 7:15
6. Yes - Astral Traveller (Time And A Word 1970) 5:57
7. Genesis - Looking for Someone (Trespass 1970) 7:06
8. Jethro Tull - Minstrel In The Gallery (Minstrel In The Gallery 1975) 8:13
9. East Of Eden - Nymphenburger (Snafu 1970) 6.15
10. Pink Floyd – Sheep (Animals 1977) 10:20
