Sci-fi and prog go hand in hand don't they?
I love sci-fi (Doctor who being a favourite - although my ultimate doctor is David Tennant). Star Wars, Star Trek, Warehouse 13, Babylon 5, etc etc - it's escapism and makes you think... which is what great prog offers too.  |
Don't like Battlestar Galactica?

BEYOND TWILIGHT. --SECTION X
incredibly bizarre concept album based on brain mapping and super cloning.
It's wild, dark and requires a good imagination to appreciate.
Highly recommended.

Colossus Project did a sci-fi theme (too bad its on that utter cack-theme known as Star Wars) with "The Empire & The Rebellion".
Unlike all the other great Colossus projects, this one is a SINGLE band. Mainly of Tillion.
Musically very good.

I promise this isn't meant to be self serving; but my prog band, Artilect, has concept album loosely based on the work of Professor Hugo de Garis, a synthetic brain builder currently living in China, author of "The Artilect War''. We didn't know it at the time of the band name's inception (we picked it by combining the words "intellect" and "art") but he coined the phrase "Artilect'' as partaining to artificial intellects.
He believes that within the next 50 years, as we integrate technology and robotics more and more into our daily lives, that we will reach a point in which society will have to ask ourselves if we truly want to make the next step and create synthetic beings that will be as smart as we are. (Think a less optimistic Isaac Isamov). De Garis believes there will be a global war before the creation of the Artilect between those who believe it can only render good (Cosmists) and those who fear it could bring devistation to humanity (Terrans).
We liked the scenario, and I decided to begin a novel that coincides with the music and works as a "Part A, Part B" companion to the albums.

Tend to think that Rush were better when they left the sc-fi thing alone. Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures were a spectacular reinvention of their sound and style more so than any other band I can think of. Rush were never as self consciously embedded in the whole seventies prog thing as other more symphonic styled bands were. They just rode it while it suited them imo. |
Couldn't agree more. Permenant waves,
Jacob's Ladder puts me in sci-fi dreamland with cloudy weather. Lol
Incredible intro to that song. Rush, for me, may very well be the sci-fi kings of prog. Not many better.

If you don't like it you don't have to contribute to the thread.
Why. What's shaking your sci-fi music tree these days??
Give me a better example instead of bashing rush.

^ sorry. To me it just seems like an oxymoron to love prog as much as you do...I can tell...but also to bash rush???
They've done so much for prog music. Incredible musicians.
What don't you like about them? Your fully entitled to not like them of course, but I'd like to know specifically what erks you about Rush. Just an inquiry is all. I mean no criticism here.
:)

1/ Rush hasn't made a prog album in ages
2/ what they made is pure sharn
3/ Pwog Mastermen do not need justify themselves. We are Expounders of The Reality. Our power is absolute.
You have stepped over the line, son. Your emotions are at play here. Know your PLACE.
