too. Give me some suggestions...
If you haven't already heard Anglagard then for the above styles and coooool
mellotron this is an early 90's release that most prog people place on the
top shelf with the 70's prog classics. The band had two studio releases -
Hybris & Epilog plus one live release - Buried alive. Hybris will not be
available again until 1999 (unless you have good luck), however Epilog is
available as is Buried Alive. Also try Sinkadus (both these bands are
Swedish) who have one studio album. They are similiar to Anglagard but with a
tinge of Swedish folk. They too use Mellotron. If you are a Yes fanatic then
an American band called Blue Shift sound more Yes than Yes, including the
more Jon Anderson than Jon Anderson vocals. However get beyond the Yes clone
comparisions and the musicianship is first class and very tight. There are
others but these are off the top of my head.
