I just found these guys making pigs of themselves while surfing the old you tube....thought anyone who appreciates the whole Zappa side of the musical spectrum might appreciate this great musicianship....

Not normally my cup of tea, but I found this strangely compelling.

Yeah me too....at first I thought "oh, here we go. More of this...." but a few minutes in I was hooked.

There is also Focus from the 70's - I think they are from Denmark. They had some pretty wild stuff, and a charted single called Hocus Pocus:

Focus! I had one of their albums on tape when I was a kid and I totally wore it out. That brings back memories.

Focus are from Holland. I got my very first guitar by swapping Focus' 'Moving Waves' LP for a friend's acoustic.

Strangely compelling...thanks Sharke.

EDIT (I just realised I completely mirrored Mr Stummage's remark, but it was....well, strangely compelling !)

It turns out that they were fans of Zappa, and Zappa was a fan of theirs !

Zappa meets Weather Report. ...strangely compelling. Receptors are receiving.

Cool song. For Swedish bands I'm listening a lot to the new Harmony album.

Not strictly prog but more of a mix of metal and prog. Leser prog than Dream Theater, but more catchy straight metal.
