ALQUIN were an innovative Dutch band who released four studio albums during the early to mid-70's, their first two being of particular interest to progsters. With a mixture of rock, jazz and classical music, they show elements of Soft Machine, Caravan, Pink Floyd, Curved Air with tinges of Roxy Music. The band split up in 1977 following line-up changes and differences in musical direction - some of its members went on to form a new wave/punk band called The Meteors, although they made a comeback in 2003 releasing two more new albums.
