Yeah, I'm a newbie. I'm a 26 year old male from columbus ohio currently
living in minneapolis while attending music production school.
Here's some of my favorite groups I consider prog.

Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica
Kate Bush - The Dreaming
Magma - anything except the first two, horn driven lp's
Legendary Pink Dots - Anything
Guapo, Univers Zero, Gentle Giant, Art Bears, Thinking Plague, any other
Zeul\RIO artist
Grobshnitt, The Thought Industry, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Sonic
Youth (Sister and Daydream Nation are musts for prog\RIO fans)

well, the list is incomplete, but you get the idea. Anything strange and
unusual. Jandek, Residents, Chrome, anything off the wall is up my alley.

Favorite prog track?
Tough. Either CLOSE TO THE EDGE by yes or JACOB'S LADDER by Rush.
INDUCTIVE RESSONANCE by Robert Fripp\League of Gentlemen is a
worthy contender. What a solo!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the long boring intro. Til later,

Eric

Hi there! Looks like we see eye to eye on many bands!

Have you heard anything by a  recent favourite of mine - Cardiacs? They might well be up your street...

The Cardiacs?  They are Punk Prog aren't they?  Seen them live twice at the Whitchurch festival.. I guess in the same room as trouserpress!  Anyway ipd42, a very warm welcome, and I'm confident you'll have many happy hours in here exploring the site!

I'm currently in my third quarter at the Institute of Production and
Recording. I investigated a school in ohio (where I'm from) a school in
arizona (their standards were a bit too high) but IPR is awesome. Session
drummer Kenny Aronoff (he played on nearly every John Mellancamp
album and also worked with meatloaf and Tommy Iommi!) came in to
record drums for an album and all of us students were allowed to come
and watch, which was a great experience. Got to talk to him afterwards,
he had some pretty interesting stories to tell....But I digress...
Check out the website.. WWW.Iprschool.com
Many teachers have worked with well-known musicians (One of the heads
of the school, Tom Tucker, used to produce\work for prince.) My midi
teacher had done some beats for a michael Jackson album...)
