    Posted: December 01 2006 at 23:05

Recently I reread the September issue of Classic Rock magazine. This issue focused on prog music and some (I guess) main players of this style of music.

Articles such as Roger Waters (Amusing), Syd Barrett (I always thought Syd was his real first name Ouch), "Did Punk Kill Prog?", and so on.
 
Along with thew mag came a free compilation prog cd htey titled "Shine On". Twelve tracks of various types of prog music that I find quite enjoyable. Cd tracks are:
 

1 Porcupine Tree- Mother & Child Divided

2 Spock's Beard- The Ballet of the Impact

3 GPS- Window to the Soul

4 The Flower Kings- Hit Me With A Hit

5 Fish- Incommunicado

6 Lunatica- Out!

7 Circulus- Willow Tree

8 Wolverine- The House of Plague

9 Riverside- Volte-Face

10 Frost- Black Light Machine

11 Whimwise- Innocence

12 Mostly Autumn- Pass the Clock, Pt. 1,2 & 3

My question to all of you is....

If you could write your own prog music article on ONE sub genre, and create a 10 to 12 song cd to accompany your special issue, which genre would you choose?
 
 
Thanks for your time and thoughts. I look forward to you responses.

Probably math rock, though I'm not real fond of that label and probably couldn't think of ten 'math rock' bands anyway. I'll name ten bands but they are in different genres...

Don Caballero
Philharmonie
The F***ing Champs
Flat 122
Planet X
Egg (yes, the old Dave Stewart band)
LTE
Tortoise
interpose
Fripp String Quartet

I'd probably choose Post-Prog/New Prog, although it isn't accepted as a subgenre on this site. I'm not sure which 12 songs I'd choose though, as I always have a hard time making those kinds of lists.

I wouldn't do a genre as such but try and highlight some of the more neglected 70s prog acts which have been left by the wayside somewhat, as a sort of logical next step to Genesis, Yes etc.

Symphonic I guess. I would make a cd with songs that did something in history of prog. 21st century, money, know what i like or carpet, long distance, etc. A cd for neophyte to enjoy.

Whatever Renaissance is...
It's got to be slow
Taking love the only way
It's got to just flow
Making love and taking time to let it grow

I'd choose Progressive Electronic but I'd have a hard job making a compilation because of the length of my favourite tracks!
 
Tracks I'd choose include:
 
Klaus Schulze - Crystal Lake
Tangerine Dream - Rubycon Part 1
Kraftwerk - Autobahn
Edgar Froese - Epsilon In Malaysian Pale
Brian Eno - Discreet Music
Vangelis - Beaubourg Part 2
Harmonia - Sehr Kosmisch
 
I think that would be a decent double CD!

That Classic Rock CD looks truly awful.

I'm choosing one of my newest obsessions, Zeuhl. (If it had to be in Classic Rock I'd do krautrock instead)

Zeuhl special issue CD:

Magma: Nau Ektila   (12.49)

Archaiä: Le Grande Secret   (4.02)

Eskaton: Attente   (10.15)

Koenjihyakkei: Loss   (3.58)

Kultivator: Grottekvarnen   (7.02)

Eider Stellaire. Fferyllit  (5.08)

Zao: Marochsek   (7.17)

Dün: Etonio   (7.14)

Pataphonie: Chanterelle   (3.24)

Shub Niggurath: 2 Cabine 67   (5.55)

Weidorje: Booldemug   (7.10)

Hellebore: Film de Ripratoria ((4.39)

But I really need to make a double.




Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
