Prague Rock
The undisputed Jethro Tull masterpiece
>>123128456Pawg rock
>>123127781Prog rock's not really that pretentious at all and a lot of the negative stereotypes people give the music and its fans actually emerged from prog metal and were retroactively applied to prog rock for whatever reason
Listen to Camel.
>>123129472eww, not that one though.wussup prog bros, been a while
it's p good but that first song holy shit
>>123128629basedglad people are waking up to the truthtoo bad Ian Anderson put the soprano sax down, he was terrific
Thank you to the anon who shared this a few threads ago. I've been on a Zeuhl stint recently.
>>123130101Wait, massive kek. The lyrics are Finnish, not Kobaïan. It's RIO, not Zeuhl.
>>123130115>The lyrics are Finnish, not KobaïanThat doesn't stop some bands, Eskaton's a zeuhl classic but their lyrics are entirely in French.Defining zeuhl's a bit harder than "funny incoherent lyrics" because there's a few bands that sing in their mother tongues and instrumental bands with no singing at all. What you posted is still definitely zeuhl or zeuhl-adjacent
>>123126594>Jethro Tull? Technicalnot really thoughand what about VDGG?
>>123130115>>123130137how do give so much importance to labels, they're just for convenience
>>123130137Yes, I suppose that's true. Zeuhl has always been an anomaly to me because it's so difficult to define. Is Zeuhl RIO? Is RIO Zeuhl? Is it both? I think on the latter point, it's easily interchangeable if not mutually adjacent. Eskaton is great, by the way.
>>123130162autistim is prog
>>123130162I think the labels are important if you want to find similar music in the vein of something like Univers Zero and Magma. Sure, they fall under the progressive banner, but they leagues separated stylistically from traditional prog rock like Yes or Genesis, etc.
>>123130182>Eskaton is great, by the way.Eskaton might just be the peak example of a so-uncool-it's-cool-again band.too late for prog, too early for (?), just nicely weird and funky
>>123130182Zeuhl emerged from avant-prog but what really distinguished it is that avant-prog is more "nebulous" and less defined while zeuhl is more disciplined and has more rules. Zeuhl's just loosely defined around bands that take most of their influence and sound from Magma, but even then Magma's not really a consistent sound since Attahk sounds nothing like Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh yet both are agreed to be zeuhl and there's bands that only take influence from one album but not the other and vice versa that people still agree are zeuhl.Zeuhl's mainly split into three camps though there's zeuhl bands that are outliers>influenced by early Magma (Kobaia and 1001 Centrigrades)A more canterbury sound.>influenced by Theuz Hamtaahk trilogy and Kohntarkosz trilogy The epic operatic oppressive military marches with relentless vocal chanting >influenced by mid-late 70s Magma (1975 Live, Udu Wudu, etc)Much more jazz fusion-y, technical, very throbbing repetitive bassline focus, funky, surreal and keyboards and stuff. You have zeuhl bands that don't really fall into any of these camps but are still distinctly zeuhl though. RIO is just a movement within avant-prog that got mistaken as a genre as the decades went on. RIO was just a statement from a handful avant-prog bands against mainstream rock trends that grew into a """subgenre""" though there's not really much of a difference between RIO and avant-prog musically.
>>123130393Just an example of the difference>general avant-prog/RIO from 1986https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KU22NGHrJQ>zeuhl from the same yearhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZiZdG3AUww
>>123129472I own Breatheless on vinyl. Honestly their most underrated album. Much better than Raindances.
>>123130324 >>>the three mothers (1972)what was this about, i'm getting suspiria related search results
>>123130393Thanks for addressing this, anon. This helps put it into perspective for me.
>>123128456lol nice one
>>123130686Another thing to note is that Zeuhl often feels highly conceptual and cohesive while most avant-prog generally doesn't, avant-prog's more likely to just jump into dissonant and disjointed passages or jump to brand new ideas at a whim and songs tend to feel aimless (not necessarily a bad thing)Zeuhl's still very strange but it's very structured music.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA7sIgdXY5g

>>123130647I reverse image searched the picture and just got a previous thread I posted it in lol. It’s obscure as fuck so let me break it down: that is a composite shot I edited of cult actress-singer Jessica Harper from experimental film Rameau’s Nephew. It’s from a scene that jump cuts a few times so everyone is briefly standing/sitting in different areas. I named it that not only because there are three Jessicas in the shot but also because she stars in Suspiria, part of what is collectively known as the Three Mothers trilogy.
>>123128333I'm surprised they let pete handle that guitar.
>>123131003oh, ok. true she is cute
New mix when

>>123132424Kobaia (the song, not the full album) is sung in English too.

Everyone thinks the polar opposite of prog is punk, but when you think about it actually it's power pop.
>>123135203I wouldn't say so. Power pop can have some really fascinating harmonic structures and great solos. Think of Todd Rundgren, he's power pop while still being proggy as hell.I'd say the polar opposite is hardcore punk and any subsequent subgenres.
>>123135203The idea that punk and prog are polar opposites/had beef with eachother was bullshit pushed by music journalists.>>123135276There's proggy hardcore punk though.
>>123135276>I'd say the polar opposite is hardcore punk and any subsequent subgenres.mathcore?brutal prog?
what's the best King Crimson live recording?
>>123135732>live at central park 1974>live in Zurich 1973 (the first one of the year)>live in Paris 1973just to name a few
>>123135732>detroit 1971>frejus 1982>hyde park 1969>bremen 1972>montreal 1984pretty much all their live albums have some degree of great material but those are the ones i think have got no filler in them
what do we think of dream theater?
>>123130785> Avant-prog's more likely to just jump into dissonant and disjointed passages or jump to brand new ideasYes, that is also typical of most avant-garde/free jazz improv music as well.
>>123136354I'm into the stuff they did up until about Octavarium. Images & Words was their peak, and Scenes is very overrated.
>>123136354I made instrumental edits of some, and have been pleasantly surprised relistening. But the cheesy end of solos often make me laugh/cringe a bit
Does anyone have some bass-oriented prog recommendations?
>>123136407Scenes was a great listen on one lengthy car ride, but a lot of the songs just aren't very interesting on their own. It's still home to my favorite DT song, Fatal Tragedy. The absolute flurry of piano right before the guitar solo and the way it seamlessly transitions into a synth solo. Always gets me. Another standout is Strange Deja Vu, the bridge with the funky riff are just awesome.
>>123136477Tool, perhaps? I don't listen to them but they have some great basslines afaik. (Forty Six & 2, Schism, Pneuma..)
>>123136477Duello Madre
acknowledge the greater starlesshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEGSY-0TQR0
>>123136354ill blast Octavarium (the song) or the Count of Tuscany once a year or so. Super talented guys if you can get past the cheese, they have a shred of good moments peppered throughout their discog. A few J Petrucci solos are great
>>123105430La Máquina is great but very short lived. If you want more like that you should check out Serú Girán
where does one start with VDGG
>>123137396The Least We Can Do Is Wave to Each Other
>>123136477Kanye West
Killer albumhttps://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-GGer0yHjwmtjOAULh2hEImT0iiegBVa
are you Court Jester-Pilled?
am i the only one who can't stand Rush?
>>123138779No, there are many people out there with bad taste
>>123138816maybe i should start with a different album? where would you say i should start? the only album of theirs i listened to is Test for Echo and i just can't stand it.
>>123137446funny how this is their most accessible album, but it's still very weird and far out for the music at the timeeven in prog rock, VDGG is a very hard band to classify. I can't think of anything that sounds quite like themterrific sax riffs, screaming organs, drums that went everywhere all at once, free form soloing, and vocals that were yelling and softly singing, sometimes both at onceamazing how well it worked too
>>123138734>not Roger Deans coversacrilege>>123138779they're fun, but overrated IMOstill, if you want to start with them, pick whatever one of their albums from 2112 up to Moving Pictures, that was their golden age
>>123138875based and fund-pilled, their one of my favorite bands, them and Magma
>>123138883>>not Roger Deans coveryeah but this one is cool cause it looks like the album cover IS the jar
>>123138885>theirfuck *They're, i'm tired
>>123138885what's your fav Graaf album, bro?I used to be all into Godbluff, but now I'm leaning more towards Still LifeMy Room still takes tears out of my eyes, such gorgeous music to dwell into your own lonelinessWorld Record is also great, very underrated. Not as well made as the previous ones, but still has a lot of their energy and great ideas here and there
>>123128333Honestly, this is one of the best Yes albums. Up there with Fragile, Close to the Edge, or Yes Album.
>>123138911it used to be H to He, but Pawn Hearts grew on me a lot, i think it's my favorite, Godbluff, and Still Life are great too, The Quiet Zone is pretty good too, and even though it's pretty different i really like Aerosol Grey Machine
>>123138960haven't listened to Quiet Zone yet, as I've heard it's far different from the rest, but I'll check it outcheers
PetroDragonic Apocalypse is a good album
prog metal mogs
>>123138779>>123138883 Rush matured with the sci-fi concept 2112 (1976): the side-long title-track is a complex and magniloquent suite that weds Yes and Led Zeppelin, while emphasizing the virtuoso performances of Pearl's pyrotechnic drumming (which owes a debt to the Who's Keith Moon), Lee's petulant, castrato shrill and Lifeson's epic riffs.Synthesizers increased the level of sophistication on A Farewell to Kings (1977), which contains the simple Closer To The Heart and the ambitious Cygnus X-1, and Hemispheres (1978), which contains the catchy The Trees and the elegant La Villa Strangiato, a lengthy sequel to Cygnus X-1, with a celebrated guitar solo. Their glacial and cybernetic "metal muzak" had reached a terminal point.Rush then made an abrupt aboutface. Permanent waves (1980) turned them into stars via shorter and catchier numbers such as Spirit Of The Radio, Jacob's Ladder and Free Will. However, they remained faithful to the ethos (if not to the sound) of progressive-rock by focusing on albums rather than on singles. Moving Pictures (1981) sold even more copies, despite the fact that the material was weaker (Limelight, with Alex Lifeson's best solo, Red Barchetta, Tom Sawyer, the instrumental YYZ).
>>123139863>if not to the sound>the material was weakergood good scruffy is a pleb
>>123139863Lotta words didn’t real lol your a total fag
>>123139602it really grew on me. Supercell is fun and Flamethrower has a ton of riffs. Whole last half of the album is solid
>>123140076Second half grew on me a lot too but Motor Spirit remains the best song on the album
>>123139966rude
>>123135732https://youtu.be/h_Nmi7nU_Zs
>>123136354Stopped being good when Kevin Moore left.
>>123136354I attempted to listen to The AstonishingI only reached 1/3 of itfucking shit had 2+ hour length godamit
>>123138837you are not wrong in not standing themi think their sound gets old really quick and in many cases is not as good as their fans would argue it ishowever they do have some nice songs here and there so you might be looking for a decent playlist of their best songs
do you fags download/rip your albums in Flac or MP3 (or something else)? do you hear a difference? is it worth the extra space to get albums in flac vs 320kbps?
>>123138837Test for Echo sits on that Rush territory where you only listen it so you can call yourself a Rush completionist, no one discusses that album except when bringing up the sheer fall from grace Rush was experiencing on that 90s decade. If you want to taste prime Rush, listen to their 70s album right to Moving Pictures, if you want to crave for more, try their 80s post-Moving Pictures album right until Presto where they were using synth a lot more extensively. and then you can finally listen to the rest where Rush abandoned their prog and synth sound, to go back making straightforward hard rock songs but sadly got overwhelmed by the sound of much younger other hard rock bands.
>>123142445I'm not even a Rush fan and I like at least three songs from TtE
>>123142475for me, I only like Half the World
>>123142362first of all dont be rudeand second of all yes, theres a difference, its worth it if the album is really well produced, has a good remaster (if its an old album) and is well mixed so it can benefit properly from being in FLAC and if you mostly hear music on your computerif you are a phone listener then i would say you should only have in FLAC the albums/songs you enjoy the most, the rest will be ok in 320kbps
>>123139602Favorite King Gizzard album desu. Motor Spirit is my favorite. They played Motor Spirit and Dragon live in Prague, had the floor absolutely bouncing.
https://youtu.be/c94dQ_ho9iU?si=_TJsT3g59vn0pa38&t=765
Now this is really coolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2Gf4KV93DE
>>123142362>flac vs 320kbps?Theoretically possible to tell the difference with some "killer samples", in practice not possible (assuming a good encode). Try for yourself:https://abx.digitalfeed.net/lame.320.htmlThe advantage of FLAC is that you can convert it to any other format without generation loss.
>>123142520And I like only half of that!

Univers Zero vs Genesis?
>>123146938>big things happening in prog after that point you'll love it
>>123138957eh, It’s a good A-tier album but Trevor Horn’s voice isn’t suited for YesCheck out the Drama tour they did, first time they got boos from the audience because Horn can’t hit the same notes as Anderson, so they had like four songs they could actually play live, even Machine Messiah splices Anderson’s vocal in with Horn’s so you can’t really tell who’s singing
>>123147636You're not wrong about his voice but IIRC he was only booed by British fans, the American part of the tour was pretty successful
>>123147906Oh wait if you're talking about your picrel specifically I apologize for talking out if my ass
>>123147636>even Machine Messiah splices Anderson’s vocal inYou mean Chris Squire's vocals? He really stepped up on the album vocally.
>>123147997Yeah he is still there, but you can tell when he’s singing. If you listen closely you can hear Anderson’s voice in some parts, which were taken partöy from the ’79 Paris sessionsThis video goes into pretty good detail about the making of the albumhttps://youtu.be/t8lPW6WZ2wo?si=C0PJIEK6srGO9YXr
>>123147636They didn't boo because of Trevor couldn't sing like Jon, they booed because they didn't want anybody BUT Jon.
>>123145343Dethroned is a good track. especially from the KEXP performance. Schalgenheim was quite good tooI pretty much never listen to Hellfire, but they had potential imo. this board is needlessly hostile to bm
>>123148115If they had done like Genesis and got an established prog guy to fill in (referring to Bruford on the 1976 tour), they would have been fine.
>>123144231interesting, pretty good.

He started by saying it was the first time he sat down onstage, a position he maintains to this day. “I’ve always been a seated guitar player, and to work in a rock group you couldn’t sit down?” he said with surprise. “‘No one sits down to play guitar!’ But I felt, I think it was about after 12 performances … it was impossible for me to stand and play. So I said, ‘Look, I’ve got to sit down,’ and Greg Lake said, ‘You can’t sit down – you’ll look like a mushroom!’ My considered opinion was that the mushroom is a fertility symbol in many cultures!”

>>123146993Shitty dissonant horror music vs toppest-notch prog
>>123148160Because of the vocals. I would have listened to a lot more Black MIDI if they were an instrumental band.And they took the name of a genre unrelated to their own music, that’s another thing

>>123168882Forest
>>123169137I figured Black Midi were all black.
black midi feels like they specced their band entirely into technical skill and carnival showmanship and put literally zero points into lyricism or compositionI've only listened to the first half of Hellfire

>>123169816Their early work was way more noisy and improvisational. Then they kicked out the most creative member and Geordie realized his dream of making Frank Zappa music without the poop jokes.
>>123170084Lel I guess I'll try their first album thenWhat band is the creative person in, I'll check them out too
>>123170096Dunno what he's been up to since black midi, he supposedly left for "mental health reasons"
>>123165216huh Sufjan Stevens? well lemme try thenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFXzbe2UAR0damnm that 2nd part is pure manic
>>123165216>zero Rush songsBased
>>123170084>zappa musicis this a meme? i didnt hear any zappa in an entire album of theirsthe shitty album some anons try to shill here is nothing like hot rats for example
>>123170730Honestly I see them more as Primus with horns. Zappa could actually sing with an actual melody.
tinnitus
>>123170730>>123170852Hellfire is literally just zoomer King Crimson but with extra quirky
>>123167267did you make that? based if so
>>123167267I'm just being a whizMind your own bizWhy is everybody always staring at me?
>>123170730yeah i never understood the zappa comparisons either. like yeah okay, they're both "le heckin quirky" but zappa's approach to arrangements, instrumentation and harmony are completely different

>>123174237Fucking kek
>>123157283>>123170084>>123170096Cavalcade is good, the other two are just okay
>>123174514oh yeah this album is good, i listened to it way back, is the new remaster good?
>>123174514Every time I see this album it still baffles me it even exists>trashy album cover evocative of the worst kind of country music >it's a christian redneck shoegaze post-rock prog rock opera concept album about the second coming of jesus christ, who declares texas as the holy land, the rapture and end of the world and christians migrating from around the world to texas
>>123174595>who declares texas as the holy land, the rapture and end of the world and christians migrating from around the world to texasJej I imagine Mormons would take offence with this one
thoughts on The Mars Volta? i think Frances The Mute is a good album, but the rest of their discography can go straight into the trash.
>>123174595>christian redneck shoegaze post-rock prog rock opera concept albumwhy do midwits love throwing adjectives around?
>>123174692Why do midwits constantly love gloating about "muh intelligence" when nobody asked? Nobody cares about how smart you think you are/how dumb you think other people are, reddit.

Is Pink Floyd prog?
>>123174909no
>>123174909yes
how does /prog/ feel about this album?
>>123167267
>>123174909sometimes
>>123146303never mention king crimson is the same breath as black midi ever again
>>123167267Delete this this instant
>>123174931his best
>>123158732I read this in his voice
i met Robert Fripp in a restaurant yesterday, and what a pretentious asshole, so i went up to him politely demanding an autograph and a photo, and he said "no, thanks i'm having a private dinner with my wife" what a rude asshole, i politely told him he's not that great of a musician, and his only good album is Beat, then i called him asshole, and what does he do? says "hey, that's rude, please leave us alone" what an pretentious asshole thing to say, then i started screaming and crying, then Robert sicks his security men on me (they said they worked for the restaurant, but they are probably full of shit) and they tackle me to the ground, then i go for his balls with the most violent force i've ever felt, but they beat the shit out of me and i get Tasered so they can arrest me, fuck him, and fuck all that band's fans, what a bunch of douchebags, Robert is an asshole and he had his security men assault me for practically no reason, i should also mention that i tried to throw a beer bottle at his head and he dodged it, and it hit a bystander on the head, and it's mostly his fault for dodging it.
this is the objective GG discography ranking
Death Grips + King Crimson + The Antlers = Black Midi
>>123175340>The Missing Piece higher than Interview
>>123175700yes
>>123174986No, I will. If Black Midi's the worst thing you've ever listened to, then you must also dislike King Crimson since Black Midi (especially Hellfire) is derivative of King Crimson.If you love King Crimson and hate Black Midi, then there's other reasons you hate Black Midi rather than just not liking the music.
>>123174635amp is better
>>123167267Very nice
>>123175810Nope. Black Midi sounds like shit. King Crimson doesn't. Simple as.
>>123175810>Black Midi (especially Hellfire) is derivative of King CrimsonMany people would consider something being derivative to be a reason to dislike it.
>>123175958Many people are idiots.
>>123175984lol
The best Black Midi album was the one where they supported Damo Suzuki
acknowledge Strawbs
>>123175958Disliking something =/= The worst thing you've ever experienced Saying Black Midi is the worst thing you've ever listened to but enjoying King Crimson is like saying that pork ribs are the worst thing you've ever eaten but enjoying porkchops.
>>123176745I'm not >>123145343
>>123167267frippsisters... how do we respond?
>>123174635Frances is great, Amputechture is simplified-but-still-good 70s prog worship, De-loused is solid though i don't think it holds up over multiple listens as well as Frances and Amputechture do, and Tremulant is a nice little EP. They stopped giving a shit after Amputechture and you can really hear it in the music.
BCNR is prog
>>123177825Doesn't matter what genre you say they are, they're still a shit band. Actually embarrassing
>>123177825what's the concept behind such an album cover?I'm baffled everytime I see itsuch an uninteresting choice of a picture to put on your work before presenting it to the worldit's not even in bad taste or anything, just dull
>>123177970>what's the concept behind such an album cover?>I'm baffled everytime I see it>such an uninteresting choice of a picture to put on your work before presenting it to the world>it's not even in bad taste or anything, just dull
>>123178051in a way, a minimalistic cover with the band name and album title makes more sense to me than a random picture unrelated to anything
>>123178124Like this one?
>>123178148kind of, it's not a very good coverthough I get how the Magritte reference relates to prog/psychedelic aesthetics
Embarrassing thread>>123159519
>>123174635They're my second favorite prog band behind King Crimson, to be honest. Frances the Mute is a masterpiece.Frances the Mute > Deloused in the Comatorium > Amputechture >>> Noctourniquet > Bedlam in Goliath > Octahedron >>>>> Maroon 5 shit (aka self-titled)
>>123175810get your brain checked m8ive listened to hellfire and even the worst songs made by KC is miles ahead and leagues above any song on that albumshit, they don't even play the same sport for that matter
>>123165216>check prog metal chart>One by Metallica is first followed by 3 Tool songs and Crystal Mountain>Ghost of Perdition is only 6th and Anesthetize 9th

You didn't get filtered by The Battle of Epping Forest, did you?
>>123179653It's a fun tune. I don't get why prog fans are so serious.
Imagine if he had come out to sing even just one or two songs. And imagine if they'd coaxed Steve into doing a cameo too. Fuck.

>>123180362Philip Glass is just supremely dull, man literally cannot write a single song without abusing those fast arpeggiated chord sequences. >inb4 it's minimalist genre dudelol, still boring as hell.
>>123182511Maybe he has a fat hog?
>>123181970more of a poem than a song at that point, but yeah it is genesis i guess

Has anyone here listened to the Risk of Rain OST and if so would you consider it prog?
>>123184895thanks mateI'm thinking of doing one where Lake pushes Fripp out of his limoif you have any more KC stories, just tell me, and I'll try to give it a go
Hey prog, listen to this.I won’t spoil what it is, but a very well know song by a very known group was obviously very much… inspirationhttps://youtu.be/hE7ivPqIQ_E
>>123185519I like this one but it probably wouldn't work as a comic>Recorded in September and October 1970 it featured a guest performance from Yes vocalist Jon Anderson. He had been approached by Greg Lake earlier in the year who had relayed Fripp’s interest in having the singer record with Crimson. “I said OK and gave him my number and then about three months later Bob rang me up and said I’m going to record next month,” Anderson remembers. He had no idea what he was going to sing until he turned up at Wessex, and then couldn’t help but smile when he saw the title. “Prince Rupert was the name of a train that would go past our school every Wednesday and I thought it’s so bizarre that he wrote this song which I sang and it had that kind of connection. Afterward, I told Bob that story, and you know Bob Fripp, he just said ‘Oh. Thank you, Jon. Bye.’” laughs Anderson.
>>123185519Not quite a king crimson story, but I enjoy the one where steve hackett ate robert fripp's cheese
>>123185519the Thela Hun Ginjeet story if you haven't made that one already haha. I like imagining that Fripp set off the gang on Belew to get a good story and to scare the fuKcing shit out of him as a bonus
>>123185626it's funny, I can try to work it out>>123185827lmao, that's greatwill give it a go>>123185980I haven't made any other than the one I posted herebut you guys are giving me such great ideas, I might try to draw a couple more
>>123167267Not a very upbeat moment...
