How long have you been collecting prog? You seem to have everything except the metal side which is fine considering all the other stuff.

No matter how diverse the collection is, ignoring a genre as a whole is narrow minded. There are tons of remarkable prog metal albums out there ... Certif1ed started a nice thread about the prog metal "gems".

I had an album by Skyclad a few years ago. Before I'd heard of prog. Their singer/lyricist is superb. Very intelligent band.

Your collection seems pretty complete to me for some genres. what type of music are you currently looking for?

Well, my brother started it in the late 60s. He is 10 years older than I am, but he only listens to classical and jazz now, so he gave all his other albums to me. Jean inherited a few albums from her parents, who were hippies in the late 60s. And then we collected ourselves, of course.

Just added Holger Czukay, Helmut Hattler, Tab Two and Peter Wolbrand to our collection. I had left them out for some reason (getting old, losing memory, etc...).

Just added the Third Ear Band to our collection, which I had forgotten for some reason. I hope this is all I forgot; with a collection as big as ours one can never be sure.
I deliberately left out Uriah Heep though (of which we only have the albums up to "The Magician's Birthday"). If bands like Led Zeppelin or Deep Purple are not considered to be prog, Uriah Heep should not be included in the archives either. At least that's my opinion about them.

A splendid collection - John Greaves should definitely be in the archives, what do you think about including Peter Blegvad? Most of his solo work is borderline IMO - much as I love his albums, and in particular his gift as a lyricist, the songs are not particularly adventurous musically. On the other hand, we've got Kevin Ayers and Syd Barrett in the archive and Blegvad's work sits nicely alongside theirs. What do you think? |
I agree with you he is borderline; he is close to folk even on some albums. His collaboration with John Greaves though is definitely prog (a wonderfully dadaistic album), as is his work with Slap Happy. (Which just reminds me; I think I forgot to add Slap Happy to my list).

Mother Gong, "Fairy Tales", uses a lot of flute, and it has recently been issued on CD by Spalax (was previously available on vinyl only). The flute is played by Didier Malherbe, by the way.

While recommendations are being given away kindly, can I have a band that writes songs in epic style and uses a lot of flute? Name bands that are not known by every person here, yet are not so obscure, that I will never find them. :)

Well if you'd read you'd realize that the 2 own every album from the listed artists unless otherwise noted.
