Just a peep to say I still exist. I hope I will be able to participate again soon, but at the moment I am busy with work and the music production I can manage to do in my spare time.

From the world of prog, I discovered the great mix of electronics and post rock sensibility that Battlestations developed on their recent albums. Silencer Edited by Lewian - November 03 2021 at 11:55 |

The Medieval Baebes have been in at least one of these polls, but actually I discovered them about a year ago independently of the polls or even PA. We Three Kings. |

Roberto Vecchioni, an old-fashioned but very cultured Italian singer-songwriter (professor of Latin and Greek) and with a warm and romantic voice with a Milanese accent like mine, I have known him for many years but I have listened to his live album Camper a lot in recent years, and it is the only one of his albums I know well until now Do you know Italian melodic music? Romantic music, sung with "The heart in your hand", where you listen to the singer's emotions from his voice. We are at the opposite corner of prog: there are no big changes, everything is based on the melody and the moving singing. I think you will not like these songs very much, but if you listen to them in the dark with headphones in the evening, reading the lyrics, and let yourself be led not so much by the music but by the feeling they emanate, maybe you will have an experience of Italian music. 1) ROBERTO VECCHIONI FEAT. ENZO JANNACCI: Luci a San Siro (Lights at Saint Siro)* San Siro is a neighborhood of Milano Lyrics: They are right, they are right They told me, "Everything you do is old Talk about sex, prostitution They want this, if you haven't already understood it " And what could I tell them? "Well, I can't When I loved I loved inside her eyes Maybe even between his legs But I've always cried for his happiness" Lights at San Siro that evening What's strange, we've all been there Remember the game inside the fog? You hide, and if I find you I love you there But you're cheating, you're screaming That's not the case, it's too easy that way Find you, love you, play the game On the dead grass, with the cold here But time migrates, they put me in the middle I am no longer capable of saying a single No I see you and sometimes I would like to tell you "But what are these people around us doing?" They make my life, make your life So sooner or later it had to end there You laughed and maybe you had a flower I didn't understand you, you never understood me (ENZO JANNACCI: Write, Vecchioni, write songs The more you write, the better you are to get money So much so that it matters to those who listen to them If she has been with you or not, and who she is Get paid, stand up for it The more you lower your head the more they say yes And if your hands are dirty, what does it matter Keep them closed, no one will see them) My Milan, take me away, it's so cold I suck and can't take it anymore Let's make a change, go ahead and take yourself That little bit of money, that little bit of fame But give me my Seicento* back [a little car]* My twenties and a girl you know (JANNACCI: Milan, sorry, I was joking Lights at San Siro will no longer turn on) 2) ROBERTO VECCHIONI: Vorrei (I would) You are beautiful even if you don't laugh You can almost always fall on your feet I don't have a jacket and a knife But on the wall your smile is beautiful I would See you again for every night Which I looked at Your photo in a vase of apples I've never loved you so much See, it almost suits you Have I ever written you love letters When were you awake waiting? yes, I know I know that you came back later But inside here I keep seeing you leave ... I would Tearing apart the memory of a train Your trains And that man you see and tremble ... I would Kill him to get you back On the stairs With the desire to start over You're right maybe I'm alone I bought the sky but I don't fly I am as small as a child You can hold it all in one hand I would See you again to make love Don't dream When the dream begins to end I would Make the switch with you to find out Who are you And realize that we are the same And I'd like to count your hair Until the last without making mistakes And at the end Say that they are beautiful And confuse them and start over Edited by jamesbaldwin - November 02 2021 at 17:41 |

Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

These are three, none in PA, I'm afraid, that I discovered or gained a real appreciation for during the pandemic thus far. All three I have mentioned in topics of mine (non interactive polls) not too long ago as I like to share music that is special to me. The Vanishing Twin track and album I discovered within the last few weeks.
Bruno Pernadas - Spaceway 70 (2016) Vanishing Twin - Cryonic Suspension May Save Your Life (2019) Portishead - Elysium (1997) |

This is fine by me except I may want to avoid these anyway for reasons of personal stubbornness.

I'm glad to hear you love Faun Fables and would have been happy to see them posted here again.

In principle, I don't have a problem with that either, but as I said earlier: artists suggested in these poll by others than myself "belong" a bit to those other members. I "dared" to go with an artist who I presented before.... which I did. Otherwise I would have posted a track from that Faun Fables album!

I have no problem with that at all, Mike. I think it's fair, also your previous post re how many posts to enter. Typically, this has been primarily a non-prog poll, with leeway to do so granted by the poster. If it IS a prog poll, which we've done a couple or so times, then it goes into the Prog Polls section of PA. Also, sometimes people have decided to on their own to do less than three for whatever reasons, or because the pieces/songs are long, so that people can reasonably have time to listen before the voting starts. I personally have a lot of time and patience for the longer pieces, probably most prog listeners have patience, but not necessarily proper time to devote, especially those who work, have families, studies, etc that also need tending to.

As far as the concern about posting artists that you discovered from someone else's submission in these polls, I have no problem with that, as long as you pick another song that you like that wasn't picked by the original person. It's nice to get some feedback on that anyway. What does everyone else think?

Typically, there are three different songs from three different artists, at least that is usually how we've done the poll in the past, and that is what I based the rules on, that only one of your artists is from the archives. I posted that rule on this particular poll without thinking that anyone would only post one artist. However, it was a possibility that I didn't consider, so, in your case, you posted one artist, but with several songs. If any participant decides they want to submit their entries that way, then I have no problem with it since it is only one artist. But I think since there is a time constraint on the participants here that try to listen to all of the entries, that this would consist of your three submissions that you are going to choose from. I hope that seems like a fair way to handle this. In other words, you can use your three songs that you posted under one artist if you are okay with those songs being all of your submissions for this poll. If you decide you want to post other artists (which would be outside of PA), then pick one of the songs from your artist as your official submission and post the other artists you want to.

Here I will actually have all 3 choices that are not, specifically, anyway, with the first selection, not in PA. Would they fit in a category here, however? Quite possibly. But on to the music. First I am offering up Jonathan Hultén, from Sweden. His previous band, Tribulation, is in PA. They are categorized as a Tech/Extreme Prog Metal band. But this is not that. This is this ("A Dance In The Road"): Next up is not a "song," but an instrumental, "Memoriam," by Canadian chamber folk band Musk Ox. and thirdly, from Russia (with love?), Theodore b*****d, with "Les." and @ Mike, your poll, your rules. I do listen to tons of progressive music, and much of it IS in here. However, I did decide to not use my option of one prog piece, as I felt these were all potentially kinda sorta prog, albeit subcategorized appropriately, they may, indeed end up in here after all.

As said above, I've made many of my recent music discoveries thanks to these wonderful polls. But I also (re)discover quite some music thanks to my favourite radio station. Every month they have a selection of albums they put forward, airing several - if not all - tracks from those albums. The most recent one that conquered my ears is an artist who just has his first album out. He's British, but based in Nashville, Tennessee. A kind of retro-proto-prog offering with krautrock and psych-folk touches. It's wonderful! Spencer Cullum's Coin Collection - My Protector: (alternative link) You may remember the next artist, Rozi Plain. I heard her music for the fist time during the first lockdown with the track Inner Circle that I have presented (but not nominated) in an earlier poll. Here's an other track: Rozi Plain - Trouble: My third suggestion is a discovery from early this summer, on the same radio, with this track. It sounded good enough to explore the album it is from, Sleeping Through The War, as well as their latest album: Nothing As The Ideal. Both great albums. Here's the track that caught my attention: All Them Witches - Internet: (alternative link) Edited by suitkees - November 04 2021 at 03:51 |

Two consecutive summers without one single open air music festival. Absolutely unthinkable for me! So I started studying the line-ups from earlier years and watching live footage on YouTube instead. This is one of many artists that I have discovered during that period (UK-Glastonbury 2019): Shabaka Hutchings, born in London and raised in Barbados, Hutchings is an award-winning multi-reed player who can alternate between saxophone and clarinet. Though he started out gigging with calypso bands he’s now regarded as the doyen of the UK’s contemporary jazz scene and currently leads three different bands, each of which can lay claim to shaping the future of jazz: an octet called Shabaka & The Ancestors; a quartet, Sons of Kemet; and The Comet Is Coming, the latter a futuristic trio that blends electronics with jazz and a punk-like attitude. The Comet Is Coming:

This is a nice topic but turns out to be surprisingly difficult as quite a big number of what I have discovered in this period comes from these Interactive Polls here! And I'm not going to post some of that again here. Then there's some prog discovered here on the site, I may post one of those later but am not sure as some were also recommended by people who play here. Let's see whether without those I'm left with more than cool electronic music, which apparently fits my profile here. Ah, this one is also "women in music"!
