I found this on Progressive Ears; It purports to be a send-up of ELP's "Tarkus" and a satire of Prog in general. It sounds like they recorded it in a basement. It's kind of funny, but the vocals are bad. Kind of an explicit album cover: http://soundcloud.com/penguindf12/sets/roving-boner/ I think the sections actually correspond to the "Tarkus" movement structure, whoever wrote this did their homework: Prologue = Eruption The Scientist = Stones of Years Rampaging Boner (Part One) = Iconoclast Jizz Accident = Mass Rampaging Boner (Part Two) = Manticore Decision / Battle / Epilogue = Battlefield(?) Epilogue = Aquatarkus(?) I absolutely adore low-rent stuff like this, makes me think of Third Reich n' Roll or something. I love the crappy names posted below in the lyrics: "Dick Wakeman", "Piss Squire", "Balls Bruford" ... "Peter Gabriel"  |

Oh whoa! Somebody actually liked this, and listened to it! I posted it in the "share your music" forum a bit back. Yes, that breakdown is correct, but I didn't necessarily plan it that way. We recorded it in my living room, in one take each, all of the music is improvised on the spot. And yeah, I'm a huge fan of the Rez  |
