Harmonia thus plays new and old folk songs as well as highly instrumental virtuoso dances like the Romanian sirba, Bulgarian horo, Hungarian verbunko and Ukrainian arkan.

 Album Review SOLEFALD-In Harmonia Universali :: Maelstrom :: Issue No 13
Not sure what it is that turned Solefald from their grim flness into a goofy electronic/metal hybrid, then into a super technical genre hopping "modern" fl metal band, and finally into a melancholic dark metal prog band.
While this unpredictability has not always served them well (the musical mis-step that was the sort of appalling Neonism), it has managed to keep them sonically original and served to alienate their core fan base with every new release.
The first band I thought of when I threw this on was definitely Katatonia.

 Harmonia : Musik Von Harmonia - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
The debut Harmonia album is at once a product of their source bands and a fine new twist on them, resulting in music that captures what for many is the Krautrock ideal, or more accurately, the motorik ideal.
The players bring their usual multi-instrumental roles to the fore, ensuring that the end results achieve their own distinct sound -- this isn't simply Cluster with Rother's assistance or Rother trying for a solo record with Cluster's backing.
When it comes to pure drift, the wonderful "Sehr Kosmisch" is the understandable winner, a nearly 11-minute-long piece that undeniably had to have been part of the attraction for Brian Eno in his later work with the band.

 Ground and Sky review - Harmonia - Deluxe
This is the second album of Harmonia, a merger of the members of Cluster and Michael Rother from the influential Krautrock band Neu!
And though I personally don't think of this as progressive rock (like much of the Plank-related recordings), from a historical context this is an impressive antecedent of the New Wave era (early 80s) of popular music.
But, this might just be the best of the Harmonia albums; it's certainly more animated than the debut.
