What do you think about this Soundtrack Album?

Yesterday i listened to it in its two versions, spanish and the original with the artist of the movie, and i found it quite progressive in most of the songs, its a concept album, with constant evolution , mood changes, experimentation ,symphonic rock and a lot of beautiful passages.

I think this album should be in the archives.. do you think the same??

Are you referring to the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical?

Sorry, I'm sure Andrew Lloyd Webber is very good at what he does, but if he or anything by him ends up on this site,then it's time for me to go.

Yep - it's Prog alright.

It's not just a musical - it's a full-blown Rock Opera, way beyond the simplicity of "Tommy".

Almost the same goes for "Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat" - the first ever Rock Opera (it beat "Tommy" by a few months...).

And ALW's Variations is a Pure Prog album - Rock variations on a theme of Paganini, played by most of Colosseum II and other distinguished musicians?

Of course it's Prog!

We should be clear about which version we are talking about though. The original with Ian Gillan as Jesus was not a soundtrack, it was released some years before the stage show or the film. As Cert says, it was a rock opera.

I'd agree it should be added to the Various artists section.

I love it!

It's an amazing piece of music, very complete, very proggy and doesn't sound like a soundtrack at all. I'd be happy to see it here

No. A pop/rock classic, but a mere concept doth not a prog album make.

Again, the word "progressive" really means everything and nothing here -- why this endless mania to retroactively include so many artists and albums?

Why must all good rock be here?

WTF is "progressive" music, really? It's certainly not a genre, an era, or a sound, it seems!Confused

Too many cooks... each with his or her own recipe.Stern Smile

BTW, for the record, the original JCS was NOT a movie soundtrack! The movie came later, with different artists & musicians involved.

Edit: -- whoops! This point was already made! Sorry.Embarrassed

 

 

"Progressive rock" does not really exist -- there's just rock (and now jazz, folk, world, metal....)

If that were the case, Green Day would be here.

We have prog folk, prog metal -- where's the prog punk, prog country, prog disco?

Some country artists (not the crap on the radio) make very involved, intelligent music, you know.

The Clash certainly progressed....

Where will it end? (It won't, of course.)

Again -- the word "progressive" as a term to categorize music, is so vague as to be all but meaningless. We have stretched the original sense of the word well beyond the breaking point, and out of all recognition.

Once more: At the very least, we need to go to straight numerical ratings -- dump the words that accompany the individual star ratings. How can an album that is only "prog related" (all western music, or at least all rock, is "prog related") be "a masterpiece of progressive music"? As it stands now, because of those words, many great albums here cannot justifiably qualify for the highest marks as a piece of art.Confused

WTF is "progressive music?"

(Purely subjective, that's what!)Stern Smile

 

Oh well -- shouting into a hurricane again...um de dum de dum....
