Real rock and roll? What, like Chuck Berry? And which state are you referring to?

Excuse me?
It says "progressive", not "prog"!
Methinks you's looking at something else in the picture!

It's really as simple as that. |
I guess that you two never heard Section 43 and Marauder from the Electronic Sounds album? |
Shirley you mean Electric Music for the Mind and Body, not Electronic Sounds. 
Two songs doth not a Prog album make.
|
You are correct, Sir. Have a cigar. And don't call me Shirley! (that bugged me all day! )

^Fair enough, EP. I'm glad I could alter your consciousness, even if it's with only two songs.

Just did. They are just not sufficient to include the band in a full-prog category like psychedlic/space rock. Proto-prog at the most but again more than two songs are required for that to materialize.
Thanks for pointing me towards these two tunes and the album. Sounds like HP Lovecraft at times.

Off the topic - *Progressive electronic* sub should be renamed as *Berlin School of electronic music*, and to add that "ambient" sub for the acts as e.g. Eno, imho.

now that makes it clear what your intention is.
You are not the first to claim such a change, this comes up on and off. But my answer, alongside with Dean, always will be - this is a progressive rock archive, as for that we only are willing to add progressive rock acts to our subgenres - simple as that 
would be interesting to know btw how this new subgenre should be named - non-progressive psychedelic/space rock, or something like that?
|
I know it's in poor taste to answer a question with a question, but what would you call George Harrisons experimental Moog album titled Electronic sounds? Experimental Psychedelic Rock sounds good to me. And it still sounds like progressive rock to me. Now perhaps you can answer a question for me and explain how Brian Eno's ambiant music is considered progressive rock and why it's listed in PA under Experimental Electronic? Shouldn't it be called non-progressive experimental electronic rock instead? |
This is a snippet from a post of mine taken from a thread about The Orb:
The thing is that PA is about prog rock, and it's electronic sub only really exists because of the sites
inclusion of Krautrock; a scene so heavily interwoven with pure electronic music, that the two in fact are
inseperable. As a consequence of this, PA (mostly) restricts the electronic sub to acts who can trace a
direct lineage or sound back to the genre's rock roots. Granted we do have other countries chiming in from
along the same time, but then again, most of them were either highly influenced by the Germans or
similarly birthed from the country's own rock scene.

I have no problem with a Psych Rock Lounge.....I don't think we need another sub genre.

Should PA have a Psych Rock Lounge?
...How on earth do I get her face out of my head? She is pasted everywhere on billboards, T.V. screens and internet. I'm starting to look at my wife and see her face instead...OMG....what do I do? Isn't she annoying? Is that suppose to be the concept? She should play a psycho killer in a modern film. A lot of profit could be made from that. Does she ease your day? your pain, if any? She certainly causes me a lot of pain that's for sure
