Let’s write a concept...!

Well, this is what happens when showering while listening to Porcupine Tree's "Voyage 34"...

I'm a newbie so maybe I should shut up, but I think that some of the topics here are not going anywhere, or let's say they could be far more interesting...

Said so, my mind gave birth to an idea that, if it is slightly less stupid than I think it actually is, could start some REALLY interesting discussion.

Step 1) let's discuss and decide which band is most likely to write, record and release a concept album in the no to distant future (let's say, before 2006 ends);

Step 2) all active and willing members of the forum can give their contribution to actually WRITE A CONCEPT ALBUM; I mean, we should write the whole story, everyone can give his input and then the ideas will be voted by the "writers" themselves;

Step 3) then, the masterminds of PA (or someone who has connections...) will have to use all of their charme to convince that prog band we choose to write songs based on our concept, record them and release an album with those songs on!

I know, this sounds crazy, but I think most of the guys here are not exactly ordinary...

You unlucky bloodsucker...!

I'm actually going through diet and a series of clinical test because my blood values are not so good... 

Maybe that's my fault...

I don't know anybody here, I'm trying to figure out the politics of the forum, the relationships between members and the fairplay rules; it will take some time...

Apart from this, I'm not a 100% progger now as I was some year ago, I lost some contact with the scene but there are prog bands that I still love...

Did I tell you that I'm a Deadhead?

Hi tortelli',

I already started a topic like this  

Welcome, anyway.

Maybe a concept about what stands besides that wall... sidewalks?

SIDEWALK BEHIND YOU, or something like that...

Or, inside the wall... MOUSES OF THE HOLY...

Your enthusiasm and ambition is inspiring, Tortelinni.

And perhaps you are right and a bunch of weirdo's at a progmusic site can create something valuable.

I would like to describe a complete first night stand. I would like to imagin the different tunes behind the different strategies, moods and actions.

PARARELL UNIVERSES....

IT´S THERE....

YOU CAN'T SEE...

YOU CAN'T TOUCH...

BUT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND...

A concept album based on one single grain of sand lying on the beach, which has nothing different from the millions other grains...

The Mister wrote: Blacksword wrote: How about a concept based around the return of the prog Messiah! Who delivers the world from Hip Hop, although it should all be very metaphorical and clever, of course, and never actually refer to Hip Hop or prog rock directly. Didn't Da Beard already do this with "The Great Nothing"?

Really? I haven't heard that album...

I was kinda joking!
