i have two more additions:

House with No Door - VDGG (starts of with merely piano, then builds in the organ, high vocals, drums and bass. lovely song, very sad as well)

Genesis - Watcher of the skies (amazing mellotron intro, amazing drum intro, everything else is perfect. great tune as well)

These two classic bands are THE masters of progression IMO. Godspeed have inherited their mystical art very nicely.

Which song and artist would you say are masters of progression? I mean progression as in starting from nothing or just one instrument playing, progressing very gently and skilfully towards the whole band playing and a high volume. e.g. pink floyd - echoes

i would have to say VDGG - Undercover Man

What would you say?


I've always thought that The Cinema Show is the most progressive song EVER. It just keeps progressing smoothly and logically, simply brilliant! Clap
Not to mention Can-Utility And The Coastliners! It has probably more sections than Close to the Edge.

Rush did some pretty progressive stuff as well back in the 70s. The Trees is a good example of this.
And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away
in the tidal destruction the moral melee.

Hm. I'd mention Maneige's masterpiece Les Porches Du Notre Dame, since that fulfills the credentials perfectly. Dire Straits also have a couple of things in this vein (Telegraph Road, Brothers in Arms).
