Prog Rock Huddle

And where, dear sir, is the Canterbury scene?

Honestly, with the exception of (some) Caravan, Khan (awesome!), Egg, and Moving Gelatine Plates, I haven't really gotten around to that scene yet.

Can we all at least agree that no album by a band called New Trolls can be considered "groundbreaking"?

definitely.

Not to mention the music is rather uninspiring and I really DO NOT get the constant praise it garners, but that album cover with the dog in the old parliament wig thing is really terrible.

Demilich/Ellestin, check this out:

Yezda Urfa - Boris

Rock Progressivo Italiano

what?

I just was browsing progarchives after a long absence, and I couldn't find "Italian Symphonic Prog" in the header, then I noticed that.

I'm sure they didn't always call it that...

 

[Krilons Resa]

Naa, they actually just changed it not too long ago. I think it is more fitting, tbh. Not ALL fucking Italian Prog is symphonic.

Demilich:

Listened to that Spring track, tis pretty cool. But I take it that it's not indicative of the whole album. Got any other tracks?


Also.....

makes me think of

for some reason.

What's that bitches name that graces every one of their albums again?

 

[Dick Sirloin]

It's different bitches: whoever Bryan Ferry happened to be banging at the time.

FIRE - The Magic Shoemaker (1970) Solid album right here. A little more on the "psychedelia" side than a lot of the stuff being mentioned (genre deserves its own thread, really). Download here: http://peppermintstore.blogspot.com/search/label/Fire

LOL! I thought it was the same bitch.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Instead of doing the shit I should be doing, I'm going to listen to "Pawn Hearts."

EDIT: fuck that, STILL LIFE

 

[Dick Sirloin]

"Eclectic Prog" = prog that might end up pissing you off

 

[Krilons Resa]

Eclectic Prog is my favorite subgenre tbh.

Although, I tend to find VdGG a bit overrated at times. I think it may actually have to do with the piss poor production on their releases though. Pawn Hearts is my favorite though.

I bought Planet X's debut album the day it came out. Ahh, nostalgia.

edit: meaning Derek Sherinian's solo album titled Planet X, of course.

LOLercoaster! Somehow I missed this....

EDIT: I remember seeing an ad for this in METAL EDGE that described Sherinian as "the Gene Simmons of prog!"
And he was on like, what, ONE Dream Theater album? And it was the crap(pier) one!

 

[Chromatose]

Reminds me of the time I bought that Platypus album when it was released ...

edit: forgot words

I remember liking Mullmuzzler quite a bit back in the day. Along with Shadow Gallery and Vaden Plas and Wuthering Heights and some of those other InsideOut bands. GOOD TIMES

Never heard any of that shitz. Heard of them though. What about Jelly Jam? Liquid Tension Experiment? I actually like the one LTE album I have.
