| # | Artist | Song (click to play) | Album | Year | CD label |
| 1 | Akritas | Invader, Genesis + (?) | Akritas | 1973 | Polydor/Polygram / Si-Wan |
| A vibrant, interesting, and diverse album from Greece. It's not too far off from the Italian prog acts of the same period. It has a wonderful reverb-y ambience through-out. | |||||
| 2 | Sfinx | Calatorul prin nori (The Traveller Through Clouds) | Zalmoxe | 1978 | Electrecord |
| Romanian group that appear to only have this one album. It has a sound not unlike some of the more symphonic Italian bands. There also seems to be a certain amount of glam-rock influence. One song is primarily a complete Queen rip-off: the melody, multiple guitar and bass over-dubs. | |||||
| 3 | Osiris | Dreams of a Jester | Myths and Legends | 1984 | Musea |
| Osiris, from Bahrain, have 2 albums on the Musea label. To my ears _Myths and Legends_ , their second album, sounds like it was made with the Canadian band FM in mind. Reportedly, their first s/t releases is the better of the 2. It's squarely in an easy going pop-prog sound. | |||||
| 4 | Tako | Dolina Leptira (Valley of Butterflies) | U Vreci Za Spavanje | 1980 | Rock Symphony |
| Outstanding instrumental prog / fusion from Yugoslavia. Great guitar playing, keyboards, and a little mellotron. | |||||
| 5 | Igra Staklenih Perli | Putovanje u Plavo | Igra Staklenih Perli | 1979 | ? bootleg |
| Great psych/prog. This album is way too short,though, at only 28 minutes. There is a certain amount of sonic similarities to _You_ era Gong, as well as _...Mountain Grill_ era Hawkwind. It also reminds me of Kingston Wall's brand of psych/prog to come years later. ISP is from Yugoslavia. | |||||
