If you are in a Yes/Crimson mood, check out Claudio Simonetti's pre-Goblin group Cherry Five. I picked up a reissue of this the other day and it's pretty great. Not as unique as Goblin but a very cool Italian take on the classic early Progressive thing.
A lot of the Turkish stuff has been getting reissued lately as well. A couple of labels seem to be specializing in making that stuff more widely available. There are a lot of videos of a lot of those guys up on YouTube. In their native land in their time they were pretty huge Stars, so that's kind of a nice Resource as well.
Bunalim and early Erkin Koray are also great.
