A thread with no theme or topic, which is for odd little comments or observations relating to prog that don't warrant their own thread.
 
I just had to have a little chuckle at the review I just read that, reviewing In The Wake Of Evolution, commented that "Kaipa's sound cannot be found anywhere else in the music industry."

Great music! There is a obviously Ronnie Stolt's sound and he is not even on the album! It's a original symphony rock sound that's got a little influence from other symphonic bands from the past.

That's like saying, as someones avatar here says, that Diana was alive just hours before she died.  However, our friend is correct - Kaipa has a unique sound.  It's just that many bands also have unique sounds.  One often raised criticism on this site is that some artists sound like other artists.  Neo-prog as a genre receives this frequently, and I can totally see that.  I don't listen to a lot of Neo-prog, just Fish era Marillion and IQ, yet I cannot listen to them without hearing something immediately reminiscent of classic Genesis.  Still, I like their music and listen to them frequently.  My question is what qualities make Kaipa sound like no one else?  Most of us can hear it, but how many of us can actually dissect the music to uncover what it is?  I'll chalk it up to one of my old maxims: The meaning is not the message.

This might be individual thread worthy.  Are there actually less prog fans these days in relation to all the quantity of artists available over the span of prog, and yet a higher quantity of prog fans in the world now henceforth explaining why no one ever listens to prog these days?  I'm working on a unified prog theory of my own.  Yeah, it needs work.

Slarti: Kind of related to your earlier post, I am continually amazed at the number of prog acts that keep coming out of the woodwork because I thought that there were definitely not enough fans of prog to support them all, even in terms of only hearing their music, let alone buying it. It would be interesting to know how financially healthy/stable the lower tier prog acts are.

They are a very, very good band who were not really prog (but were more accomplished/ambitious/artistic than others in their scene and influenced future prog artists) whose debut album Real Life frequently appears on best albums of all time lists. Despite that, they barely seem to have any reputation at all.

If you want to know more about them, I'm giving them a thread in the General Music Discussion section right now. Please check out this overlooked band who, though not prog, would in my opinion be of interest to proggers.

I think Yes should pack it in.

But here's my prog randomness comment. I think it's really cool that one of Ian Anderson's pastimes is reading spy novels. Jethro Tull even made the album Under Wraps based on this. Many people don't like it but I happen to really like it for that reason and tend to pay more attention to the lyrics rather than the music on that one. I gave it a 3 star rating and wrote a rather long review.

My favorite is Number Seven but most people will tell you Doomsday Afternoon so I'd say that.

Am I the only one who imagines how much funnier many thread titles here would be if "Prog" was changed to "Frog"?
 
For April Fool's, someone needs to make a mock FrogArchives front page, with reviews of various species, a list of 100 most popular frogs and various genre tabs (Archaeobatrachia, Mesobatrachia, Neobatrachia etc), a blog entry about whether toads should be included on the site etc and replace the real one with it for a few hours.

Heh...half the time I read it as "Frog" anyway, so I'm not sure as I'd notice.....

Signals is their least campiest album and probably the one Rush album I listen to most. The only other one I listen to just as much is Hemispheres mostly for La Villa

I noticed a few days ago that it's really not that hard to headbang to Meshuggah.  Thomas Haake almost always drums in an even time signature like 4/4, while the guitars do something radical like 25/16 or something, and both eventually meet up after a couple of measures.  You can headbang to the drums pretty easily and still end up following the rhythm of the guitars.

There.  That's my random prog thought of the day Rawks

It would be interesting to have a topic about songs that talk about music, songs, instruments, etc...

Tried Haken- it's a decent album but I guarantee it won't be atop the list come the end of '10. It's too familiar and a bit overcooked.

If this is what you like, give a look to Wigwam and the great Pekka Pohjola.

I love it, it hit me like a brick wall and blew me away completely. Whether it has lasting appeal however is something different entirely...
