I heard Opeth was influenced by prog music from the '70s. Is that true? I've heard the songs that Phil Collins has done for Disney but that's the only prog I really know.

 

[illidurit]

rush - all albums
earth and fire - s/t
elp - brain salad surgery
henry cow - leg end
magma - mekanïk destruktïw kommandöh
museo rosenbach - zarathustra
procol harum - a whiter shade of pale

yes quite true, for truly progressive music check out dream theater, ayreon, into eternity, pain of salvation, pain of eternity, dream salvation, into ayreon, symphony ayreon, ayreon x, pain into theater, dream of ayreon salvation of eternity, and riverside

yep, and I forgot ALL the Rush albums! But yes, lots more great records, I just wanted to hit the bigguns.

King Crimson: you're good up until 1982, and then maybe Thrak and Power to Believe

what's wrong w/3 of a pefect pair? Beat is probably the only album of theirs that's not worth the trouble IMHO. :Smokedev:

 

[the_3_toed_sloth]

Don't have the studio versions, but love the dvd i have with 3 of a Perfect Pair, Beat (well, not so much this...) & Discipline material. Taking you to what, 1984?

Still though, get Red. Now.

ill give you the bigguns.

3 has a few great tracks, but I hear more filler in that record and the Larks on that record is shite. It's true that there are a couple of weak tracks on Beat and neither record matches Discipline, but I think Beat is the stronger record over 3. Neal and Jack and Me!

 

[westknife]

"indiscipline" is quite possibly one of the most annoying songs i've ever heard

 

[arzachel]

I LIKE IT!

 

[Abhorsen]

Discipline is strong from start to finish. KC completely reinvented themselves in the 1980's but didn't go for the more commercial-friendly pop overkill that you see with Genesis and some other formerly great prog bands in that decade.

 

[westknife]

except for heartbeat

 

[Abhorsen]

yeah, heartbeat is a bit of an exception isn't it! Very poppy little tune. I like the guitar in that song.

 

[Don Corleone]

arzachel - thanks for bringing this lovely thread back.

 

[Prognostic]

lizard is my favorite kc record. after about a million listens, discipline still doesn't click with me

 

[the_3_toed_sloth]

Good to see a classic thread go lazarus on us.

Now, to crank out some personal gain from it.

Been enjoying some Krautrock lately (Can, Neu!, and to a lesser extent, Faust), so am on the lookout for some other recommendations. I seem to remember the name Tortoise, but havn't checked them out yet (nor even know if they're good or not). Anyone a fan of the genre?

 

[arzachel]

^ try amon dull II and ash ra tempel if you haven't already.

arzachel - thanks for bringing this lovely thread back.

the forum needed a shot in the arm to say the very least.
