I'm not actually, but there is a segment of the forum population that oozes elitism and tends to look down their noses at neo-prog as some sort of peasantry in the prog landscape and they make their disdain of it known in many a thread here. Thus my sentence was a bit of a joke and a little knock at that elitism. Hopefully this doesn't ruffle any feathers (I think it's known here that I love both neo/symph and avant simultaneously). ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

Interesting to see how few albums from the 2010s or 2020s made the list. Wonder what number of ratings/reviews/citings an album has to receive in order to qualify for a list. The fact that Sylvan's Home and One to Zero made the list but not Posthumous Silence or Force of Gravity boggles my mind more than a little. Love seeing Milliontown, Seven, and Moonshine, up there in the top 20. Weird that I still can't hear/see the Neo Prog in any of Arena's stuff. And no Glass Hammer, Shamall, The Watch, The Flower Kings, Silhouette, Edison's Children, Darwin's Radio, Believe, Willowglass, Cirrus Bay, Unitopia, Nine Stones Close, or Spock's Beard! And not enough Mystery!

My Neo Prog Top 10 1. Mostly Autumn 2. Magenta 3. Edison's Children 4. Like Wendy 5. Differences 6. Osiris 7. Pallas 8. Solstice 9. Pendragon 10. Arena Where's Marillion? They're at #12 in my list, just below Abel Ganz, even though Fugazi & Misplaced Childhood are the only two Neo Prog albums I have on CD.  Bizarrely, Marillion's highly-acclaimed Brave & Marbles albums didn't even make it into the RYM Top 120.

 Neo-prog existed very briefly, from around 81-85 with much of it centred on the Marquee Club in London. A number of bands did not get anything out at all (although check out the above mentioned 'Fire in Harmony' compilation or had cassette tape releases). It was all very DIY. The wonderful 'Twice Bitten' never got an official release, along with many others. Anyway, the Marquee was the epicentre of it all and I got there very late in the day - to see Solstice and Haze in January 84.

From my perspective, Neo Prog is really just another name for a new generation of Symphonic Prog.

He's referring to the English neo-prog scene and I'll have to believe him, but in the late 80-early 90s the scene revived and in the 90s a new wave of bands appeared. Also neo-prog was not exclusively British, there were bands in other countries as well.

At the time, it didn't feel like an international movement and I don't recall bands from other countries coming in. Neo-prog was characterised by a DIY, almost post-punk ethic, and only Marillion attained commercial success and were the only band that the wider music public were conscious of. Pallas were the only other band signed up by a major label. What came later was a revival, as you point out, which does not seem to be linked to a particular place or movement.

Langley Mill is one of the satellite towns of Nottingham, and Langley Mill Records is where I occasionally buy CD's from when I'm out and about that way. That's where I bought Marillion's Marbles CD from, so it's as good a place as any to look for Neo Prog albums.

Neither Brave nor Marbles are labelled/ tagged as Neo-Prog at RYM. See: https://rateyourmusic.com/artist/marillion" rel="nofollow - https://rateyourmusic.com/artist/marillion For Brave:
For Marbles:
The Neo-Prog phase at RYM for Marillion is considered to be the 80s one, and I have seen that view echoed at PA as well. Here is an excerpt from the Neo-Prog description at RYM (see https://rateyourmusic.com/genre/neo-prog/" rel="nofollow - https://rateyourmusic.com/genre/neo-prog/ :

^^ So, let me get this straight... once, you managed to find a copy of a Marillion album in a small town outside Nottingham, therefore you think that if you bide your time, someone will deposit a moderately obscure, 20 year old Polish Neo album in the same place, when I've just shown you a cheap copy with free postage?

Then again, to be fair, I've seen some albums classified on PA as Neo-Prog which were something entirely different from the 80's Neo-Prog. For instance, Seeds on the Ground (2007) by the Chinese Cold Fairyland. And if I recognized this album as Neo-Prog, my Neo-Prog collection would increase 50% - btw, an album I'm very fond of, and it's something surely exceptionelt comparing to the usual Prog stuff .

^ Honestly and personally, I think you should stop picking on almost each and every post of Paul that you don't like. I find it more and more disturbing how you are harassing him. It is clear that you will never get used to Paul's particular humour, but to express it each and every time and time again is really really really getting very very very tedious. ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

I don't want to derail this thread; you both have done this already much too frequently. I've said what I wanted to say. Paul is much less trolling than he did before and, as I said, you will probably never get used to his sense of humour. But to point to it every time says more about your lack of humour and/or your intolerance toward Paul's posting style. We all know that by now, since a couple of years. That's why I said that "to express it each and every time and time again is really really really getting very very very tedious.". And I stand by that - it makes reading these threads, that are often quite interesting at start, an unpleasant experience. So, this was my last post on this and I hope it can go on-topic again. ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

At least you recognize he is still trolling... My lack of humour? So me disliking Paul's jokes, mockery means i don't have a sense of humour? Or better said me disliking Paul's humour means i got no humour at all? Ok then... My intolerance towards his posting style? Maybe, although the word "intolerance" is harsh. Not when he baits with outrageous statements, not when he mocks or insults. It's also weird how only I cause you unpleasant experience in threads and never Paul. I'm so goddamn awful, i apologize... Also if you have things to reproach me, you could have PMed me. Hope you do that in the future. |

Glass Hammer and The Flower Kings are solidly symphonic prog while Spock's Beard is not really neo either to my ears but not entirely sure what they come under. As for the list, its okay I suppose. All Marillion 80's albums at the top albeit in a slightly strange order.

I disagree! The sound palettes, structural forms, and melodic sensibilities of all three of these band's works--even song-by-song--have been used before--are familiar to the seasoned listener (i.e. anyone familiar with the progressive rock, rock, and classic rock discographies of the 1970s)--with Roine Stolt being the most blatant and egregious "offender". This, to my mind, lends to their inclusion within the realms of Neo Prog: "new prog using the old". Of the three and a half, Neal Morse seems the one who is able to create the most fresh and "new" symphonic structures albeit still using "classic" forms and sound palettes. No one can blame an artist for wanting to revive and/or perpetuate a hallowed/revered sound, form, or style from the past. This practice, however, does breed the consequence of familiarity and, then, comparison. It's difficult to compare the discographies of Univers Zero, Henry Cow, Art Zoyd, Present, Humble Grumble, Major Parkinson, Yugen, Allan Holdsworth, Bill Bruford's Earthworks, and Factor Burzaco to previous songs/albums cuz there are so few taking rock music beyond the comfortable forms that have dominated rock/prog rock before, thus, you will rarely hear any "neo" suffix attached to a categorical definition of these bands. Today's symphonic artists are, however, mostly using the forms, sounds, and major/minor/pentatonic scales that were used by artists in the 1960s and 1970s, thus present certain degrees of "neo" or "revivalism," n'est-ce pas? ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

You may be interested to know that The Flower Kings are listed as both Symphonic Prog and Neo Prog on Google - which I agree with - so there's plenty of Flower Power to go around for everyone, no matter whether your tastes veer more towards either Symphonic Prog or Neo Prog. At the end of the day (that's a cliche
), it doesn't really matter to me what The Flower Kings are categorised as on PA so long as they continue to make great music. |

that's not my understanding of Neo Prog at all. It started with Marillion, IQ , Twelfth Night, Pallas and the like. It was more about bringing prog down to earth and away from, dare I say, 'Airy Fairy Nonsense' and lyrics that make no sense. Neo was a valiant attempt to ground prog but while retaining the best aspects of the musicianship. Glass Hammer and The Flower Kings very much embrace the classic era of symph prog and are not trying to modfiy it this is true but anyone that thinks that music evolves only by using different instruments is missing the point. You literally can create new music the way GH and TFK do otherwise pretty much no classical music has ever evolved which I doubt is true. This is my take on it. People generally dislike Neo Prog because they simply don't understand it which is sad really.

| ^ Exactly; neo-prog was a particular movement exemplified by a small number of bands; most of whom did not have record deals. The scene was largely DIY and the music obtained on cassette tapes bought at gigs or mail order - I still have several: Solstice, Pendragon etc. The release of the 'Fire in Harmony' sampler was snapped up! I find this discussion of bands such as Glass Hammer and Flower Kings far removed from those sweaty nights at the Marquee Club. |

| ^ possibly part of the issue is that Road Of Bones was released both as a single disc version and also with the bonus disc.
