or "Marillion" (2nd generation prog movement) and then those who are
"Genesis" or "Yes"...Generation one...once you have those sets of
persons what other sets do they belong to? what sets intersect them in
the area known as a the Cartesian join? An interesting task in social
mathematics me thinks.....
I am definitely in the first six/three? sets of persons - I am also
in the sets "Male" / "White" / "European" / "Right Handed" / "Has Read,
Science Fiction / Fantasy Novels" / "Heterosexual" / "Atheist" / "Likes
Melton Mowbray Pork Pie" / "Stilton Cheese" / "Skinheads on a raft" /
"Appreciating The Female body as a living breathing work of
art!!!"....etc..
Yeah, progheads are straight, white, often introspective males. Interested in sci-fi and futurism, but also traditional in some ways and romanticist/idealistic.
Symphonic prog is probably my favorite type of music. Maybe if baroque music had more worthwhile composers I could go with that.

Symphonic Progressive Rock should have its own main forum on PA under Progressive Music Lounges
It's obvious I'm a fan of Symphonic over any other sub-genre, that's why I stay in the team since the start.
But I don't agree in the creation of a "Primus inter Pares" genre, Progressive Rock is an entity and it should remain as one genre because it's differences is what makes it so damn great, no genre is better than another, it's just a matter of taste.
I don't think that Symphonic Prog fans are from Oklahoma.
I live in Oklahoma and live for symphonic prog.
And I love TFTO.

For the record, there are still many of us Symphonic Prog fans in Texas. Dallas/Ft. Worth area was very big on Prog in the 70s.

well, i personally would be fine with having its own forum.
M27Barney asking what connecting us all to this wonderful symphonic progressive rock, its not the list you have its within the inner music forms within your opened mind. or we could just take Prognosticmind`s points on borad... which is working for me...

The band is AERODROM ("Airport"), the LP is Kad misli mi vrludaju ("When My Thoughts Wander"), the place is former Yugoslavia (Zagreb), releasing year is 1979 - straight in the middle of post-punk / new wave hysteria in former Yugoslavia.
but it is a wonderful album. They've incorporated some of the complexity and ferociousness of the early symph sound into the mix, but still manage to sound fresh and infinitely more modern - something I really dig about it.

I downloaded Kotebel's Concerto for Piano and Electric Ensemble recently. I am really enjoying it. They bring a lot of different styles together, and the result is quite entertaining. They are very good at working a motif out in classical style and have compositional skills that I would call complex but not overbearing.
