COOL  I want a copy.

But, I think that title sees a little small, would have to stand out, that it caused a big impact. The illustration is very good ( for the illustrator).

Looks wonderful but I miss the name ELP (one of the pivotal symphonic rock dinosaurs from The Seventies) on the front cover. Does every collaborator get a free copy  ? Anyway, I am looking forward to it, I wish I had the time to write such a book  !

Jerry Lucky, author of “The Progressive Rock Files,” enumerates some of the elements that mark "progressive rock" :

“Longer songs, changes of tempo, mellotron, use of symphony orchestra,
words like “cosmic” or “philosophical,” etc.

If these are the elements that began the history of progressive rock began, then October 10, 1969 is the date that marks the true beginning of progressive rock, as KING CRIMSON’s “In The Court Of The Crimson King” smashed to pieces virtually every standard and norm of rock, in as “monstrous” a fashion as the hallucinogenic face on its cover (which was painted by 23-year-old English artist Barry Godber in 1969; Godber died of a heart attack the following year).

KING CRIMSON’s first album fused psychedelic with symphonic, electronic, experimental jazz, mellotron, new studio techniques, and even bits of metal and folk, to mark the birth of a mature, and extremely aggressive, “progressive rock” sound.

LISTEN to a piece in its entirety:
Group: KING CRIMSON
SONG: In The Court Of The Crimson King

CLICK ON:

Around this time, other groups were starting to build unique, sophisticated and inventive "sounds," including GENESIS (then fronted by Peter Gabriel), CARAVAN, JETHRO TULL, PFM, PINK FLOYD, and SUPERTRAMP. Thirty years later, innumerable "progressive" groups would name these bands when laying claim to the heritage of "progressive rock".

I'll get a copy, not only for me, but also for my kids (who someday will be born) and for my nephew who is just learning to listen Prog' music despite my sister's wishes.
