When they're really on, it's light prog. But otherwise dark prog.

They started out as a proggy goth metal band. THey should've called themselves The Gathering of Ghouls os something. You know how it is. Some things just don't appeal to us for whatever reason. That's the case with this one.

they actually started as a death-doom band. The Gathering sounded ominous somehow.

^ none of those terms are offensive really. Spaghetti and kraut were used to differentiate regions of the world by the comparisons to their local cuisine. Even if meant to be derogatory, Germans and Italians saw the humor in it and embraced it otherwise those terms never would have stuck around.

Hehe, I like your "please"... but no I won't, because I think he was thinking of the cinema reference I mentioned and furthermore I prefer to think it was not a matter of disrespect and further furthermore I don't want to become an intermediary in your "couples disputes"... Tongue
Exactly! I was thinking of the cinema reference, and in that regard, the term "spaghetti prog" is no more disrespectful than spaghetti western, or indeed Krautrock. The only person who seems to be offended here is Cristi. Smile

But I'd lie if I said I wasn't annoyed by the use of  "spaghettified Italian prog".

exactly... I'm not even remotely interested in hearing one note of his music. Dead

Any band or album with the word "Prog" is an immediate turn off. As a matter of fact, any musical style incorporated into a band or album name triggers thoughts of hot garbage.

That was my line of reasoning too. No one's offended by the term "spaghetti western", so why would anyone be offended by the term "spaghetti prog"? Smile
 
If anything, "Krautrock" is a more offensive term than "spaghetti prog", and yet no one gets their knickers in a knot over the term "Krautrock" Smile

There is spaghetti prog. The Secret Chiefs 3 have made a career out of soundtrack sounding mixes of Middle Eastern folk music and spaghetti western sounds mixed with all kinds of other world influences.
