before I leave, thought I would throw in a list of the
best progressive CDs I have ever heard. To whom it may concern and may you all figure out what prog is? concept(only works as a whole) Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway ELO - Eldorado suites(20 minute songs) Michael Oldfield - Tubular Bells Yes - Relayer Klaus Schulze - Moondawn Tangerine Dream - Force Majuere - Cyclone canadian Michael Brook - Cobalt Blue american Herbie Hancock - Headhunter Billy Cobham - Spectrum Kansas - Leftoverture Utopia - RA brazil Airto Moreira - The Other Side of This england Moody Blues - On the Threshold of a Dream Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon - Wish You Were Here - Animals ELP - Brain Salad Surgery Yes - 90125 Genesis - Trick of the Tail Alan Parsons Project - I Robot Brian Eno - Another Green World Gary Wright - Dream Weaver Peter Gabriel - 3 Art of Noise - Daft holland Focus -3 france Jean-Michel Jarre - Oxygene Clearlight - Visions Jean-Luc Ponty - Very Best of sweden Bo Hansson - Lord of the Rings germany Tangerine Dream - Hyperborea Edgar Froese - Stuntman Johannes Schmoelling - Wuivend Reit Steve Jolliffe - Zanzi Conrad Schnitzler - Ballet Statique Cluster - Zuckerzeit Eno/Moebius/ Roedelius/Plank - Begegnungen - Begegnungen 2 Micheal Rother - Best of Ashra - the Sunrain Years Michael Hoenig - Departures from a Northern Wasteland Synergy - Audion Holger Czukay - On the Way to the Peak of Normal Peter Seiler - best of austria Gandalf - Magic Theatre italy Il Volo - Essere, o non essere greece Vangelis - best of (early) progressive folk Jethro Tull - Aqualung Horslips - Book of Invasions +6 for you latter day saints southern Dixie Dregs - Freefall acid funk Axiom Funk - Funkcronomicon goth Depeche Mode - Violater industrial NIN - Pretty Hate Machine surf Mermen - Amazing California Health and Happiness Roadshow new age Michael Shrieve - The Big Picture some of these may fall into other categories in your minds, but remember I'm an OLD GUY, and when I here certain music I categorize it as evolutionary in my mind to the progressive thread. Heck all the best music in rock in roll is progressive, from blues to folk to jazz to hard rock. ps/ sorry to all you KC, Rush and GG fans! pss/ althought 21st Century Schitzoid Man is probably the best progressive rock song ever! |

before we get started
the Wall is to gloomy and bitter for the list, if I could only pick out one CD of the best songs, to VDGG Clearlight Symphony not a good as Visions Thick As a Brick to many ups and downs love Italian musicians, hate the italian lyrics Close to the Edge, lyrics? Wizard, A True Star to many sniplets wish I could put Hocus Pocus on Focus 3 Lenny White - Venusian Summer, you got close Can - Tago Mago, Neu - 75, Holger and Michael did better alone Bo Hansson, its all about the atmosphere Selling England dont quite get me to do a Foxtrot wish The Who - Quadrophenia was progressive enough |

Il Volo for Italy? That's it? Check out Goblin, Le Orme, Banco, Jetlag, Nuova Era, Etna, and Baricentro, at the VERY least! |

love Italian musicians, hate the italian lyrics
cant take the italian lyrics and the english versions are no better - got any suggestions tried Osanna - Palepoli PFM - Photos of Ghosts, The World became the World Banco - Banco New Trolls - Concerto Grosso Acqua Fragile and others where OK in parts, didnt want to hear again in parts never heard PFM - Chocolate Kings - Jetlag Le Orme - Felona e Sorona Balleto en Bronzo - Ys in english versions, but have heard all the classic italian stuff in italian versions, many times just cant swallow the vocals, musically I love it, thats why I have settled on Il volo because the vocals dont distract me Got any specific suggestions I am game |

Roller's instrumental. Il Fantastico Viaggio del Bagarozzo Mark has some vocals on it. Nonhosonno (2001) is instrumental and kicks ass. Goblin (one of my alltime fave bands) has a lot of soundtracks; I have nearly all of them. Il Baricentro's two albums are instrumental. I have the first one by Etna; ditto. Jet Lag is a new band, with a great CD called Delusione Ottica. Nuova Era's Il Passo Del Soldato I can't say enough good things about, as a lover of keyboards-oriented prog. If you can't dig on the Italian vocals, I don't what to tell you. That's a hurdle you yourself will have to negotiate. |

tried it
Il Fantastico Viaggio del Bagarozzo Mark, OK falls in with Maxophone and Garofano Rosso, short with some sweet spots. as for straight jazz fusion ie, Goblin - Roller is a little to straight on and doesnt offered enough distorted vision for me and I would lump it in with the above mentioned. LIKE THE TOPIC THOUGH, as this is what I have been looking to discuss. Got any Scandinavian, Eastern Euro, Mid East, Indian, Japanese, South American treasures out there? drop Forge, glad to see some intelligent lifeforms on this planet |
