I love flute in Prog. But, for some reason, this thread reminded me of a meme.



To which the progger says “Bonus!”

I love the flute solo on tCotCK. It's a timeless classic.

I’ve also always enjoyed whoever is really playing the flute behind the curtains for this high stepping ambidextrous comic flautist. Whoever it is … is amazing!

Nice thread!


I very much like the flute work in Wobbler - From Silence to Somewhere: title track and Foxlight.

Camel - Supertwister (can't leave it out :) )

Jethro Tull's Thick As A Brick and Witches Promise

Gong - Flute Salad

Genesis - Cuckoo Cocoon

King Crimson - Formentera Lady

The flute work in Zappa's Absolutely Free (Plastic People, Call Any Vegetable, though not sure if it is indeed a flute or if it qualifies)

Yezda Urfa - Sacred Baboon (Cancer of the Band, Tota in the Moya).

Soft Machine - Slightly All The Time, already mentioned (sublime!).

Jethro Tull - My God: an introduction to the possibilities of flute in a hard rock song. Tull certainly had prominent flute tunes prior to this (Bouree, With You There to Help Me, Serenade to a Cuckoo, etc.), but in 1971 (and a year earlier if you were lucky enough to be at the Isle of Wight Concert) "My God" and its flute solo became something altogether different than the pastoral accompaniment instrument it had been for centuries. Throw in the spastic and heavy "Nothing Is Easy" from 1969, and the flute was never the same again.





Traffic - Rainmaker: atmospheric and jazzy, a memorable riff driving a splendid Traffic tune.


...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

That short flute solo by Jimmy Hastings at the beginning of You By My Side on Chris Squire's Fish Out of Water.

Hi,

AGUSA ... that woman is excellent. Some might end up comparing her, but in the end, she is exceptional and you would stand up and applaud a performance like that.
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Off the top of my head - Silently Falling by Chris Squire (right at the beginning) and The Knife by Genesis.

Soft Machine's "Slightly All The Time" has a very nice flute solo starting around the six minute mark

I might forget many songs, but the ones that come to my mind (not necessarily in order of preference), I guess I can begin with Jethro Tull, and it must be Thick as a Brick... my pick would be the live version from Live Bursting Out. Then, Focus with Birth, I just love the interplay between flute and guitar on this one. Then Harmonium's Histoire's Sans Paroles. Also, Anglagard's Kung Bore. And Los Jaivas with La Poderosa Muerte.
