Aunt Mary
Maybe of one of the greatest prog.bands from the early seventies
coming from Norway. Especially the album JANUS is prog at its best.
Would love to find the group listed on behalf of norwegian fans...

 Thanks, Corbie ol' buddy! I knew you had good taste when you first wrote that you love Gentle Giant.... Yes, I'm certain that if you ever looked through my collection, you'd find a lot to like, as well as a lot of discs that you also have. We'd have an ale and crank up some classic tunes!

PS: Proglucky seems to have followed my "sage" advice  and put AD II's "Sleepwalker's Timeless Bridge" MP3 on the site, bless his cotton socks!

I also really enjoy AD's "Carnival in Babylon" and "Vive Le Trance," which is perhaps my overall fave!

Take it easy, & "Long May Your Big Jib Draw!"

Now this may not be a popular suggestion, but one that I was bound to make eventually...

But... I would like to suggest Tool to be added to the large list of bands...

I know, I know... A lot of people wont think of them as progressive rock, just loud and alternative rock... But in a lot of ways, "alternative" is progressive and they certainly do have a lot of long, complex and evolving song structures combined with deep and philisophical lyrics...

I can't say that their early work is very prog-metal, however their latest album Lateralus (2001) is a prime example of how they have evolved into prog-metal in its most complicated form...

To defend my suggestion I will use the following Lateralus facts...

> Opening song "The Grudge" has some deeply mysterious lyrics...

"...Saturn comes back around to show you everything
Let's you choose what you will not see and then
Drags you down like a stone or lifts you up again
Spits you out like a child, light and innocent.

Saturn comes back around. Lifts you up like a child or
Drags you down like a stone
To consume you till you choose to let this go.

Give away the stone.
Let the oceans take and transmutate this cold and fated anchor.
Give away the stone.
Let the waters kiss and transmutate these leaden grudges into gold.
Let go..."

> 8 of the 13 songs run for over 6 minutes...

> Mantra is apparantly the engineered recording of Maynard's (lead singer's) cat making a strange purring noise...

> Lateralus (the song) continues to change time signatures from 9/4 to 8/4 to 7/4 in a regular cycle...

> The 13th track "Faaip de Oiad" is Enochian for "voice of God" and is the recorded message of a caller to a radio station claiming to be a former employee of Area 51... (artbell.com)

> The 10th, 11th and 12th tracks were originally meant to be one song, which would have lasted for over 22 minutes, but instead all flow into one another... There are very few Tool fans who do not believe that Lateralus is a modern-day Dark Side of the Moon in it conceptual evolution of the one theme... (that them being "communication" perhaps...?)

> The album art and video clips both generate debate and mystery as to their meanings and symbolism...

> Tool are rumoured to be working on their next album... However Lateralus has been around for 4 years and only 5 albums have been released since Tool first entered the music world in 1992... (They certainly aren't commercialised rock...)

 

Well there's just a few thought on them... Of course I could also go into AEnima, their previous album, but I'm sure this will do for now...

It may not have convinced many, but I gave it a shot... And "progressive" carries with it a pretty large definition of music...

 Yes, Corbet, "Sleepwalker's" is an absolute prog masterpiece, and now (thanks to the good people at the Archives) everyone can check it out! I hope many do!

Many of my favourite experimental bands were from the early 1970's. How about Eiliff, Guru Guru, Midnight Sun ( From Denmark ) or Forcefield featuring Jan Akkerman?

I think Hugh Hopper deserves to be part of the Archives. He is one hell of a bassist & writes awesome compositions!

I think it's great that Frank Zappa will be added, but don't you think that Captain Beefheart deserves to be added too? Trout Mask Replica is great and bizarre!!

By the way: I think it's great that there's mp3 on the website! But aren't you going to get trouble?

HAY YA'LL!!!

Since I'm new to this site I've noticed nobody is mentioning CHUCK SCHULDINER and his bands DEATH and CONTROL DENIED. If not Death, then Control denied is one of greatest prog-metal bands in 90's. For those who don't know who is Chuck Schuldiner a little introduction. He is one of godfathers of death metal and also one of greatest guitar players, songwritters and singers ever. Unfortunaly, he died in 2001 of brain cancer. Just try to listen to his work and then judge.

Stay true, stay heavy.

It would be great if you could add an mp3 of Supersister. I think they're great and people should know their music! A great song would be "She Was Naked". But I understand you're busy writing new discographies and biographies...

I'm looking forward to Frank Zappa!

Great web site, congratulations!

I'd love to see Uriah Heep included. One of the finest bands Britain has ever produced, and of course still going today. "July morning" from Look at yourself probably represents my introduction to Prog.
