No worries. I moved this topic to this forum earlier since I do not think there can be too much Terry Riley appreciation. Hope people will check out the youtube clips you posted. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

Since a insufficient access error wiped my post. The short answer: Of the seven criteria listed he meets only the first. He meets it no more so than many other composers and bands. He fails terribly the seventh criteria. ------------- "One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. " |

Could Tangerine Dream have existed without Terry Riley? Not only he deserves to be on PA. He's underestimated, too. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

I take this from a rainbow in curved air sleeve cover : The sky is blue with a few clouds in it, five minute later, you look at it again, you're under the impression that nothing has changed and yet it isn't the same. it's the way Riley music works and one would pretends it's not progressive music? i'm amazed

Bach influenced a lot of bands here too. Many more than Riley. ELP made a career from him. He was also active at a time when the prog scene was dormant. Let's get him accepted. Whatever though. I guess I can at least review his albums now. ------------- "One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. " |

I like maybe 25% of Riley's work. Shri Camel and Rainbow in Curved Air I think are great, which is unsurprising since I love prog electronic kind of music. His classical-ish compositions are so incredibly boring, though. I did, however, enjoy Requiem for Adam. The majority of minimalism is just gross. ------------- http://hanashukketsu.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow - Hanashukketsu |

Again, this is the problem: are we talking about progressive rock or progressive music?
I should have a chit-chat with my father and ask him if he could consider Riley as a progressive rock artist... If he is, then Steve Reich, Philip Glass or Michael Nyman are to be included into the PA database. |

I disagree with the analysis.

I wonder if the minimalist concert (of the music of Riley, Souster and other related composers) that formed the first set of the 1970 Rock Proms, (the Soft Machine closing set is better known e.g. as the 2nd CD in the Third remastered set), still is held in Radio 3's archives? I have memories of MIke Ratledge playing in this set along with a number of other underground musicians of the period plus composer Tim Souster - and I've yet to have my thought be proved right or wrong,that Jon Lord was also involved,. The minimalist or (least in this part of the world, at the time) cyclic music was strongly influential on Townshend, Ratledge, Karl Kenkins and Francis Monkman (who can be heard playing several bars of Rainbow In Curved Air on the live recording of Curved Air's Proposition - and where did that band get their name from?). ------------- The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.
