- I've never heard any early Moroder-like it much more than the later
  
  Art Bears are definite freaks <3, been a H COW fan for ages, I have the entire Soft Machine catalog but I am not a big fan, Love King Crimson & Pink Floyd, Magma (I bet David Byrne was/is a fan, Thanks for turning me on to David Axelrod-my favorite of your list, I'll be getting a lot of his stuff.

H A W K W I N D are freaks

This in The Cubby Bear Lounge in Chicago. The Cubby Bear is a dive bar kitty corner to Wrigley Field. I saw Jim Carroll read there and saw Pixies there in the summer of 89.

You've mentioned a few esoteric bands here (to me anyway). Never heard of Annexus Quam, String Driven or NEKTAR. String Driven Thing looks like weird badasses- badder than Hawkwind. Have you ever seen Hawkwind's dancing muse/nymph/Hippie Bitch from hell with a killer freaking body- STACIA? I used to be more impressed by Hawkwind being fronted by a nude dancer than I ever was by their music. It's funny to find out now that Hawkwind admits to having consciously to hurt people with the their music. I guess they used to actively attempt to wither audiences with "sonic weapons" and watch people run for cover and laugh about it (Lemmy continued that M.O. with motorhead- turds.

Here's some links to some interesting "prog rock" (70's jazz fusion but as "prog" as it gets.

- cool list of bands that are about as obscure as it gets (save Pink Floyd)
  
  Where did you find these bands? You've done some amazing research- cheers!
  
  Titanic = Gringos go Santana
  
  THIS!!! Deep Purple MK II
  
  Great video as there are so many bad ones of this band. Audience is well behaved to say the least.
