By the way: I think it's great that there's mp3 on the website! But aren't you going to get trouble?

I think it's great that Frank Zappa will be added, but don't you think that Captain Beefheart deserves to be added too? Trout Mask Replica is great and bizarre!!

I think Hugh Hopper deserves to be part of the Archives. He is one hell of a bassist & writes awesome compositions! |

Many of my favourite experimental bands were from the early 1970's. How about Eiliff, Guru Guru, Midnight Sun ( From Denmark ) or Forcefield featuring Jan Akkerman?

Now this may not be a popular suggestion, but one that I was bound to make eventually... But... I would like to suggest Tool to be added to the large list of bands... I know, I know... A lot of people wont think of them as progressive rock, just loud and alternative rock... But in a lot of ways, "alternative" is progressive and they certainly do have a lot of long, complex and evolving song structures combined with deep and philisophical lyrics... I can't say that their early work is very prog-metal, however their latest album Lateralus (2001) is a prime example of how they have evolved into prog-metal in its most complicated form... To defend my suggestion I will use the following Lateralus facts... > Opening song "The Grudge" has some deeply mysterious lyrics... "...Saturn comes back around to show you everything Saturn comes back around. Lifts you up like a child or Give away the stone. > 8 of the 13 songs run for over 6 minutes... > Mantra is apparantly the engineered recording of Maynard's (lead singer's) cat making a strange purring noise... > Lateralus (the song) continues to change time signatures from 9/4 to 8/4 to 7/4 in a regular cycle... > The 13th track "Faaip de Oiad" is Enochian for "voice of God" and is the recorded message of a caller to a radio station claiming to be a former employee of Area 51... (artbell.com) > The 10th, 11th and 12th tracks were originally meant to be one song, which would have lasted for over 22 minutes, but instead all flow into one another... There are very few Tool fans who do not believe that Lateralus is a modern-day Dark Side of the Moon in it conceptual evolution of the one theme... (that them being "communication" perhaps...?) > The album art and video clips both generate debate and mystery as to their meanings and symbolism... > Tool are rumoured to be working on their next album... However Lateralus has been around for 4 years and only 5 albums have been released since Tool first entered the music world in 1992... (They certainly aren't commercialised rock...)
Well there's just a few thought on them... Of course I could also go into AEnima, their previous album, but I'm sure this will do for now... It may not have convinced many, but I gave it a shot... And "progressive" carries with it a pretty large definition of music... Edited by Verisimilitude |

PS: Proglucky seems to have followed my "sage" advice I also really enjoy AD's "Carnival in Babylon" and "Vive Le Trance," which is perhaps my overall fave! Take it easy, & "Long May Your Big Jib Draw!" Edited by Peter Rideout |

Maybe of one of the greatest prog.bands from the early seventies coming from Norway. Especially the album JANUS is prog at its best. Would love to find the group listed on behalf of norwegian fans... Rock on friends |

I'm going to wander really far here but I'll skip over many details, so for those of you with a bit of patience, I hope there will be a reward. I was variously spoiled rotten and cursed in my early 20's to be a broke student who was turned onto a record import store whose owner became a dear friend and mentor. The song that started it all was Ripples from A Trick of the Tail. I was soon listening to all of Genesis, KC, Yes, etc.. etc... etc... I skipped over the Canterbury scene, but I'm catching up now. I got into music from 24 countries, and collected vinyl from a dozen. Japanese was the best, Italian the worst. After a year or two we started exploring the avantguarde. So the immediate question is does the AG have a place here? Regardless, I'd like to see Tangerine Dream, Art Zoyd, and of course, Amon Düül added here. The bands I got into were The Hafler Trio, :Soviet-France:, Nurse With Wound, Fred Frith (whose discography is monstrously huge), and many groups I bought one and only album or CD by (such as Einstuerzende Neubauten, Kranioklast, P16.D4, The Music of Adolph Woolfli...) Lately I've investigated a collaborator with Frith, Bill Laswell, also of monstrous discography infamy. From here I've checked out Buckehead, altho I find he ranges too much into metal to my taste. Henry Kaiser is another who worked with Frith. I have a few vinyl albums of exceptional rarity in my collection. Power Assume by P231 (numer 72 of 150) and one of I believe 1,500 that on one side says Blackhouse and the other Hope, and I know nothing more about it, but the album is awesome. I went far enough into the AG to have nowhere else to go for many years. My passion for music took me where music had profound dispassion. It didn't get me high anymore. It left me feeling neutral and uninspired. The album that got me going again actually has a touch of prog to it - Ophelia by Nathalie Merchant. Since then I've started chipping away at updating my music collection. Gentle Giant and Camel were the two bands that inspired me last sumer. There've been a number of others since... |
