Topic: (B) Bands and your pick for AlbumPosted By: Zappastolethetowels
Subject: (B) Bands and your pick for Album
Date Posted: August 22 2023 at 10:36
Ok, so we did A! What comes next? H obviously (no, just stop) ...B!!
For the newbies to this concept, the rules are simple...
1) make a list of PROG bands or artists (B surname ex. Bruford) for which you own a handful of records or just straight up enjoy!
2) list your personal favorite album from the band and briefly explain why you chose the one you did.
Or... do it my way which includes one band at a time, the LP name and cover, and explanation.
I will get the ball rolling...
BRUFORD
*it feels good to me while listening to this gentleman*
Where do you start in the Bruford canon? Everything the band touched became gold!
With notable players like the man himself, Jeff Berlin, Dave Stewart, and Allan Holdsworth, the band is in top form (or close to it) on this record. Yeah, I didn't pick the other one bc of the vocals and slightly maniacal/claustrophobic feel in places. This one has everything for me: fusion, canterbury? Just call it whatever you want!
Enjoy, everyone!!

I'll just keep it to one band each time. This time Banco del mutuo

on CD and vinyl, as with my preferred album Io sono nato libero. This
album has some jazzy tendencies that I appreciate very much and I think
that Canto Nomade Per Un Prigioniero Politico is one of the best things
they ever did.

I would have to agree with you on this one although the s/t has moments of pure emotional bliss I can't describe. I take this band over PFM in a heartbeat! Although I do love PFM too.

I wish that were true, but the fact is that a lot of these artists are formulaic, money-driven, and sickly repetitive while possessing 0 musical pedigree, and in this day and age, these things are what specifically drive and determine their careers and/or success.

Almost up there with Kate is another crazy heroine of voice and other things, namely Björk. She's at her very best in my view on the Vespertine Live at Royal Opera House DVD, but I play something here from her latest album Fossora, which is such a monster and so rarely talked about (all videos with the album cover in this thread). This album will surprise you in pretty much every single minute, even though you have to decide for yourself if it always does this in a good way.

Darwin clicked the least for me, and so I have to rank Io Sono and the debut above it. Not a bad album by any stretch though.

I'll just keep it to one band each time. This time Banco del mutuo
soccorso: I got eight of their albums in my collection, a couple both
on CD and vinyl, as with my preferred album Io sono nato libero. This
album has some jazzy tendencies that I appreciate very much and I think
that Canto Nomade Per Un Prigioniero Politico is one of the best things
they ever did.
Wow, you're a real fan.
(incidentally, I prefer their debut or Darwin)

Well,
I got all Area discography.
I consider their debut Arbeit Macht Frei the most beautiful Italian (prog or non-prog) album ever.
They've published some other great albums (especially Maledetti) but none of them can reach that peak.

I saw Fariselli's Area Open Project this summer in Porretta Terme. They played the whole of Arbeit Macht Frei (they had a female singer who did a quite good job at it even if clearly nobody is like Stratos). I agree, this is a monster of an album.
I'm writing this here even though it's the B thread.
