I love Wigwam's "Hard and Horny" album.

I might add Xhol Caravan to the list of less known than Gentle Giant or Camel...

Manar is an Icelandic band who sing in their native tongue. Great music, very different.

^ It's good to meet another Wigwam fan. I recently got Tombstone Valentine by Wigwam, but I prefer the later mid-seventies albums (Lucky Golden Stripes, Dark Album, etc).

I would go with go with Magma. Very interesting "zeuhl" band from France, they sing in their own made up language. Great stuff.

Anyone know Twelfth Night? From "Fact and fiction", here's "We are sane".

There was a very good band called AFT (Automatic Fine Tuning), whose album I don't think was ever released on CD.

I'm wrong, it was released on CD.
