i agree with you cuncuna. Most of the progressive bands nowadays are not "progressive" they should be called regressive. For me, progressive rock incorporates the idea of fusing new ideas to creat something NEW, DIFFERENT!

And in that class, i only find bands like PORCUPINE TREE, TOOL, RADIOHEAD, SIGUR ROS, GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR and some few others. Bands like Flower Kings or Spock's Beard are pure regressive rock, as most of the "prog" done nowadays...

Nothing, as long as they are trully from the past. ¿Would you pass some baroque music composed last year as something representative of the artistic sensibility from that period?. Context and time are parameters for every form of Art. (Sorry about that, it sounds too theoreticall. I'm a free spirit, believe me, but I do enjoy some conceptual framework around things, being an amateur writer as I am, etc...)

Anyway, I was kind of kidding, but still, some of that free dramatic statement represents what I feel. I get sick of those 70's bands from the 90's. Regressive is just the word I was looking for...

So, what are these sounds of the future that we are being denied?

¿Who came up with that term?... I just read it on some old thread about music nowdays... that term is just perfect. I'm always cursing about those bands that are trying to go to the past, dennying us the sounds of the future (free dramatic statement here). Now, I have a word. Thanks, whomever...
