Foreign Music

[LuciferSam]

Who else here enjoys any foreign bands? If so, feel free to post.

UK/Canada/USA do not count.

CORRECTION: If you are from a country where British/Canadian/American music is not the norm, posting about it is just fine. I just don't want people from USA, UK or Canada commenting about bands from each other's countries, as each are fairly well integrated media-wise.

Hedgehog - China
Desant - Mongolia
Kenji Outsuki - Japan
Ling Tosite Sigure - Japan
Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts - Japan
Yasushi Ishii - Japan
Desant - Romania (Do not get this confused with the Desant from Mongolia!)

Of Monsters and Men - Iceland

I know that, and I can see why that would be true for certain countries, but a lot of more westernised countries, even if they don't speak English, tend to be very well exposed to American/English/Canadian media. I'll rephrase it though. I was mostly trying to avoid Americans putting down British or Canadian bands and/or vice versa, because the media between the countries seems to be fairly well mixed together to the point where they are routinely exposed to music from each other.
