If you like 70's progressive electronica and have a good Stereo, try the Spiral album on high volume...

Cool!! Thanks, I allready know that site, but Vangelis seems to disappear in obscurity, he doesn't even have an own website for as far as I know! And as fas as the discussion is concerned, progarchives is truly great!! But as stated by me before, I think it's main focus should be expansion within the limits of prog, and therefore the consisting number and reach of bands and musical styles is of no interest. Offcourse this is no fact, just an assumption |

Sounds like some people are disappointed with the site's lack of bands...so are you folks all completely familiar with all the bands that are already listed? Wow, I'm impressed. Doesn't really seem like anyone is having a discussion...just stating their opinions as inarguable fact, which is doubly amusing in that there's no clear consensus. Once again I'm thankful that ultimately these decisions aren't democratic. |

allright, so now all (heaven and) hell breaks loose
, and suddenly all kinds of artists are open to discussion! Well, that's great!! http://www.vintageprog.com/ this website speciallizes in archiving ALL of 70's prog!! So go and take a look there, and then maybe open a topic where we can name all of the bands we miss in progarchives, maybe it will change something!!! |

"Earth" (1975) is one of the most progressive

I've got nearly all of Vangelis albums.I think the following are 'progressive': Heaven and Hell Albedo 0.39 Spiral Beauborg See You Later Direct After that I'm not sure.Albums such as China and Soil Festivities are great instrumental music but probably wouldn't qualify as prog.

Oeh, what a reactions, let's hope progarchives will not ignore them!

A word on these arguments about taking in/leaving out some artists/bands that aren't in the centre of PROG but somewhere in the margin. Does it take something out from those that don't like Vangelis (or more precisely, who don't think he's prog enough), if he was taken in? They can just ignore it. As long as an artist/band is SOMEHOW considered more or less progressive (even if not by everybody), it should be taken in, if Archives try to be as extensive as possible. Do you agree on this principle generally? There are some other names too I miss here: WISHBONE ASH (should really please any proghead), Magna Carta, Brian Eno (hell, why not? Roxy Music is here too), Cirkus (made just one album in '70 if I remember right), Annie Haslam's solo career, etc. |

Well ... if Mike Oldfield made it to the archives, I can not see why Vangelis can not be acknowledged, despite the more 'new-age' elements of his post 80's work. He has worked with prog greats such as Jon Anderson and Aphrodites Child. I particularly like his work with Jon Anderson. So...imo YES .. Vangelis is prog enough to be included

I respect Vangelis, and I do think that he has some prog albums (most noteably Heaven and Hell), but I'm not totally sure that it's enough to warrant inclusion on the site.
