I sincerely can't comprehend how people can listen to anything other than the most forward thinking stuff like avant-prog. The rest is so vulgar, insincere and repetitive. It's difficult to explain it but there's nothing to it, I simply don't get it.
>>
i still can't comprehend how anyone can listen to anything other than Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band, everything else is complete garbage
>>
>>123719059
much of what masquerades as "avant-prog" emanates from those ensnared in the material realm, wielding a limited understanding of true creativity. The genuine seekers of sonic transcendence, like Univers Zero and Magma, illuminate paths toward the ineffable, yet many others remain mired in the shadows, producing hollow echoes that merely mimic the chaos of material existence. Their so-called "progressiveness" often devolves into an empty pursuit of material desires, a mere surface-level dance that diverts the spirit from the profound mysteries lurking beneath the mundane.

I only sometimes listen to Prog.
>>
>>123719387
why would anyone only listen to prog
>>
top five genres other than prog?
>>
>>123719059
>>123719293
The issue with avant-prog that I learned after I became a musician (I was infatuated with avant-garde stuff as a teen and in my early 20s) is that it is genuinely easier to create extremely dissonant and overly technical improv-y/jarring music than it is to make something that's actually structured and thought out.

Now when I hear a lot of avant-prog, or similar wanky music like dissonant tech-death or shit like that, I feel like I could come up with similar riffs and chord progressions in the span of a 10 minute shower. Meanwhile whenever I go back and listen to regular prog rock stuff like Close to the Edge or Watcher of the Skies I tell myself there's no way I'd come up with something like that so easily.
Magma's one of the few avant-prog bands that doesn't really fall into this trap thankfully.
>>
>>123719495
Yes, exactly. That’s why I don’t get the fascination with Le Edgy Dissonant stuff: just mashing keys at random, you’ve got more chances of getting there.

Maybe it’s about knowing a minimum of how any music is done, you might have found the secret
>>
>>123719495
>>123719543
funnily enough Vander criticized other zeuhl like Univers Zero (which he named as an example) for being just dark, dissonant and overly technical by calling them mechanical and soulless and lacking the spiritualism, emotional range and structure of Magma.
>>
wait is univers zero zeuhl?
>>
>>123719647
Adjacent, yeah. They're more general avant-prog but they delve into zeuhl rhythms a lot.
They got their name from Magma's alternative name from the early 70s (Univeria Zekt)
>>
>>123719647
>>123719665
plus their frontman played with Magma briefly during the MDK era before getting fired and forming univers zero

i think his post was more about being creatively easy to come up with, not necessarily "skillfully" easy to play, that is the irony of so much "avant-garde" music, when most people call something "avant-garde," what they really mean is mindlessly mimicking the true experimental artists who genuinely create from their souls. The true geniuses are pouring their hearts out without any pretense, while the wannabe "avant-garde" crowd are mostly a bunch of hollow imitators, desperately trying to score points for originality. It’s adorable, really, thinking they’re deep just because they use a few peculiar sounds, they are more concerned about their "identity" as an "avant-garde" entity than genuinely expressing themselves, most likely because they have no souls.

Take Tim Buckley, for example, whether you like his music or not, he was the real deal, genuinely expressing his soul and spirit through his music, same can be said for Magma, unlike most of the other pretentious, material realm-obsessed hacks under the "avant-prog" or "RIO" labels, who think squawking and a bit of dissonance can mask their utter lack of depth. It’s all a misguided attempt to appear "profound" when it’s clear that they are purely superficial beings.

Gilmour really is excelent
as much as he often plays mostly blues-based music, he's extremely tasteful, not a single note goes to waste, and his solos have tremendous feel and personality to them
there are more skilled guitarists imo (Howe, Holdsworth, Hillage, Halsall), but Gilmour is still my go to when picking my favorite guitar bits in rock music
>>
>>123722474

Robert Fripp is by FAR the most skilled and talented guitarist, not that skill and talent are all that matters (in fact they often ruin music, but not in FRIPP's case), but still, he is the best, both technically and emotionally, blows every "technical" faggot metal faggot guitarist out of the fucking water, kill yourselves retard.
>>
>>123723507
true, it's way harder to drone on one note or play repetitively, then play some complex guitar solo, it really is.
>>
>>123723632
The fact that so many books still name the Robert Fripp as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" prog guitarist ever only tells you how far prog rock still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz guitarists of all time are Wes Montgomery and Grant Green, who were not the most detestable or autistic or obnoxious of their times, let alone of all time. Rock music critics rank beloved musician Jimi Hendrix over rock musicians who were highly controversial in courts and studios around Europe. Prog critics, instead, are still blinded by offputting personalities. Fripp fired more bandmates than anyone else (allegedly, by the way), therefore he must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music, rock critics grow up listening to a lot of rock music. Prog critics are often totally bewildered by the prog music gossip, they barely care about the music itself.

You need to either clean your ears or gain taste if you think the studio version of Easy Money comes anywhere close to the intensity of these versions. Compare the performance in the first link, taking place a few months after the release of LTIA, to the second one a full year later and hear all the little nuances and powerful subtleties that they were still slipping into it, especially the improv section. There is a rawness that just isn't there in the studio version, however amazing it may be

Went a saw Beat last night, and it was pretty fucking awesome. Those guys still sound great. There were a couple rough moments and miscues. Adrian’s pedal wasn’t working on Elephant Talk so he couldn’t do the signature elephant riff and I felt so bad for him as he looked to his band mates and shrugged helplessly. Overall it was a fantastic show and I’m glad I got to see these songs performed live, since it’s not likely that will ever happen again.

the studio version of MDK is the best for me, i like the live versions too, and the live versions probably are "objectively" better but i don't know, there's just something missing, almost everything else is better live, but nothing will replace the studio MDK for me.

if the piece is made to be played live, and it never gets a studio version, then yeah obviously that is the official way to listen to it, but you don't watch live recreations of movies, do you? no you watch movies, the same logic should be applied to music.

yeah but most of those were written to be played live, they usually don't just recreate existing movies, and if they do, that's gay as fuck.

>>123735256
Studio MDK's probably the only Studio Magma release that's the best version, but that's because at some point in the mid-70s they replaced Vander's intense screaming with some improvy jazz fusion noodling and that's been the go-to for every live MDK ever since.

I like this version of mekanik destruktiw kommandoh

it's was recorded before the studio recording, but was only released in the 80s

it's rawer, the drums are way louder, there's no brass section (not that the brass in the studio version is bad) and the vocals are way more powerful than the studio version and it keeps the batshit insane screaming

oh yeah, I’m jamming on “Calling All Stations” by Genesis, and let me tell you, it’s like taking a starry ride through soundwaves! The album blends those classic progressive rock sounds with a fresh twist, and Tony Banks' keyboard wizardry is truly outta this world, man! Now, about middle school girls, let’s take a detour, those are not girls, they are women! and they have perfect bodies, you dig?! Back to Genesis, though, tracks like “Congo” and “Shipwrecked” really take you places, and I’m just floating on a music cloud, man! So let’s celebrate the music that connects us, while keeping everything light and respectful, you feel me?
