What does /prog/ think of progressive bluegrass?I'm typically not a fan of country and adjacent genres, but I recently discovered Billy Strings and some of his stuff is actually really solid.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMXf3g6G7dA

>>123964642Third for Goblin/Suspiria ‘77
>>123965309Pretty much all the studio albums from Freak Out to Lather, I didn’t bother with the 80s. Just basic editing, chopping off the fat and filler and various crap. Oh you interrupt the song to insert obnoxiously loud pig noises? Fuck that, edited out, never have to suffer it again. Simple as.
>>123966180based postmodernist anonare you the same one that edited vocals out of Camel tracks
>>123966239Yup. I still do instrumentalisation sometimes, but it’s rare that it really works well without any vocals. And it needs decent enough material to be worth it, otherwise meh.Lately I’m more into making my own redux version of albums, to get the “idealized” perfect version of albums I don’t like from beginning to end. It’s just for fun, doesn’t replace the original.

What's /prog/ take on Dream theater new single?
>>123970943Still not gonna listen to it.
>>123971068But what is your opinion
>>123970943gay, just like most songs that come out of any neo prog band
>>123971866sorry you had to take one for the team and listen to so much gay music
>>123970943I didn't know about itI'll pretend that I still don't know until I forget about it
>>123970943Snooze cruise, like most Dream Theater. Night Terror is Maidenesque in how it has so little of interest going on yet gets dragged out to nearly ten minutes.
>>123969766>secret sonthat's Trey Gunn
Just saw the David Cross band perform the entirety of Larks Tongues in Aspic. It was pretty great. Check it out if they are coming to a town near you. The only downside is they did not play Trio. I have no idea how the fuck David Cross playing King Crimson music doesn’t play Trio aka the most iconic violin piece they ever made.
>>123970943I’ve bought every Dream Theater album that has come out in the past decade (since I have become financially secure enough to spend money on stuff I could just as easily pirate). I have also been to every North American tour they’ve done in that time period. I’ve finally given up on them. They’ve clearly been phoning it in for a while; this is no different. The only time I might see them live again is on a farewell tour and I won’t buy another album of theirs. I still love their old stuff.
>>123972227how is he supposed to perform trio its improv nigga
>We need the worst designs for our album art
>>123972227did they get a new singer?i watched a youtube video o his band some years ago and their singer suckedi dont expect John Wetton but at least someone better than Jakko
>>123972553
Saw Kansas this evening. I was surprised. Drummer has been with them since '73 & Rich Williams is the original guitarist. It was good. I was expecting a band that was phoning it in but great musicianship, lively show & really respected former members & the band's history..
>>123968353that album cover is far too modern to belong in 1963

Bands like Dream Theater, Fates Warning, Evergrey and Threshold are like the prog equivalent of mayonnaiseThey are competent but their music is so basic and lacks anything that makes them distinctive
>>123972753What a chud
Tony might just be my favorite prog keyboardist, his choices and lines are just so good. huge influence on me when jamming, trying the impossible of playing things like his thoroughly-composed solos
>>123970943sounds like standard Dream Theater. if you like it then it and the album are gonna be another cool addition but there's nothing new or exciting.
>>123976203For me it's this guy
Last two tracks are so disappointing, everything up to that is great, including who dunnit. Why in the fuck did they leave off You might recall?
>>123975986Fates Warning are one of the most consistent bands in the genre, I don't know why they never got as popular as DT
>>123976263ha, he came to mind right after i posted. I guess he comes in a close second, because damn that guy sure is tasteful too, maybe even for a longer run than Tony
>>123966512Damn Neal peart was handsome in the 70s
>>123972749They had some guy named Mick Paul who sounded very Wettonesque for some songs and awful for others. I have no idea what was up with that. John Mitchell (of Frost) sang for half the songs. >>123972437I apologize for making such a silly statement. I forgot you can only play music that was recorded after sheet music was created for it.
>>123972553These guys were so kino in this show
>>123975582>he doesn't get it>being this newlel, but i will admit i don't know or care what that is, i just torrent my music.
>>123976263this dude is the whole sound of the band during their 70s run. good voice too.
>>123976862Summer 68 is so underrated
>>123976968Love that one and Stay
>>123976991right, another beautiful one.shame how middle floyd gets forgotten between the Syd era and the post-DarkSide fame

>>123973476Sorry it's '65This is his debut from '63
King Gizzard SUCKS
>>123977537never heard a single song from them but since its modern rock I ignore
This is probably not prog related but watching Christian Vander do John Coltrane covers is pretty based. It's probably too jazzy for most people here but if you're into Offering then I'd recommend it, you can definitely hear the similarities between that band and this, as opposed to Magma.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5F05SDZLDc
>>123970169To that, I'd say Twin Peaks is not prog.
>>123974631Based, here's a (You), fellow Canterbury enjoyer.
>>123965883yeah, it's Tony Levin, post-hair and pre-moustache.picrel is when he still had some hair left.
>>123977091 nothing could go wrong
>>123977076>Middle Floyd is the best Floyd100% agree... i've had varying phases over time, but that's who wins out.Their 70/71 live BCC sessions are an absolute peak, too, with that live Fat Old Sun that's so much better than the album version, and Embryo, also better than the Relics recording
Listen to Hugh Hopper's archival albums.
>>123977944First time I’ve heard about this… covers various soft machines line ups I guess?
>>123972927Kansas is based
>>123978439woah

>>123979064Damn...>>123979250Tony mixed my man out. So I don't listen to that out of protest.
>>123979070what did you think of it
>>123979307I thought it was better than Close to the edge, and took an appointment to get a tattoo of it on my back
>>123979439no you didnt
>>123979469Accurate, because i'm not Ladder anon, but if he's not going to say himself, then that's his story
>>123979469yes he did>>123979482stop pretending to be him
I hate Siberian Khatru so much that it's unreal, how can you follow two of the most ethereally beautiful prog rock songs with that as a closer to your album
>>123979704i've only just begun. he knows what to do to stop this
>>123979786It's the best song on the album.
>>123979307Op here. I liked it. It is certainly a return to earlier Yes roots but with an updated sound. I like Magnification much better, though. That album is underrated.
>>123979812holy mother of bad taste
>>123980161Yes has the greatest and the worst art covers
>>123980190Yeah, the cover here is not the greatest, but it could be much worse.
>>123980219how can you get worse than that
>>123980236Could be like an actual magnifying glass.
>>123980236A magnified close-up of Jon Anderson's balls could be worse.
>>123980316that would be kino.
>>123980161Yeah, this is a pretty cool album, can't help but wonder why there wasn't more coverage of it at the time - >released on 10 September 2001 by Eagle Records
>>123980348I dont think early 00s were a good time for prog
>>123980338Only if it was painted by Roger Dean.

>>123980373>obligatory "but this is prog!" response
>>123979786based knowerive hated that song from the first moment i had to go through itif their intention behind it was to come back to earth after CTTE and AYAI they did it in such a careless manner for the listener that it's almost insulting

>>123974077one of their best gigs thats for sure
>>123979786>>123980173>>123980604if this is real, ive actually never thought people didnt like Khartu. it is by far my favorite Yes track.
>>123980928anon I...
>>123980928My math teacher exposed me to prog rock through Siberian Khartu. For me, it's a jewel in my metaphorical prog crown.
>>123980928Its like when I found out people didn't like Money (by Floyd).
>>123972927KANSAS STATUS: ACKNOWLEDGEDwhat was the setlist like?
>>123981088I feel like almost no one dislikes Money as much as they just find it overplayed, it's a genuinely great track (probably my personal favorite in DSoTM) but it's also a pity that it's basically the one classically prog rock song that attained mainstream popularity
>>123981527Tight. Two songs off their 1st album. Fight Fire With Fire. Dust in the Wind. Play the Game Tonight. Some I was less familiar with. Couple of acoustic numbers and of course ended with Carry On My Wayward Son.
What do you guys think of Arena?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLM-HCc0BIM
>>123981974Pretty lame when they try to go for neo-prog theatrics, pretty cool when they are rocking, I quite like Contagion and Pepper's Ghosthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cGCLw4SheUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64lpPdM0i4M
>>123982115Good choice. I love those two. I like their neo-prog theatrics as well and I think they would have done much better if they didnt change 5 singers but kept the second guy (Pride and VIsitor singer). Should have replaced the drummer instead.
>ruined what could've been one of the greatest comeback albums in prog history by relegating it to bonus tracks on a couple of forgettable live albumsI don't know who was responsible for this, but I blame Steve Howe
>>123982218>Should have replaced the drummer instead.lol the whole reason this band exists is because Clive Nolan wanted to play with the guy from Marillion which is kinda odd since why would you want to have a guy who was kicked from Marillion for being too crappy when it wasn't a first-rate band in the first place, and a guy who haven't been in business since for 10 years to bootWeirdly enough Pendragon on the other hand went through like 5 drummers but otherwise has been stable since Clive joined

>>123976412Why repeat that same improv when they could just improv a new improv.
>>123976263Wright is almost surprisingly underrated within prog circles, man was the only one in the band with formal training in music and it shows whenever he gets to shine. His two solo albums are also really good, I love the electronic arrangements in Broken China.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVFIzT8vdhE
>>123983201Agreed both of his Solo records are great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulBv_VppwWII prefer his debut.

>>123982425What some Sylviankino I should be aware of?
>>123982783see, that's what I'm talking aboutwhen there's metallic riffage or a guitar solo I'm like, fuck yeah, that's the stuffbut then there are some vocals over a lonely sad piano or something and I'm thinking, does this track really need to be 20 minutes longwhat I'm getting from this is that I gotta look into John Mitchell's other stuff, he's my favorite guy in the band
>>123980161the ladder had to be good because they needed to bury their previous album so deep without people knowing what it is
>>123964642lamest looking guitar ever
>>123985320Sylvian isn't prog but if you're okay with other genres, he's consistently decent he started with a band called Japan that started with a more raw punk sound but immediately developed its unique sound that incorporated more synth, Karn's fretless bass riffing, and basically out-of-the-box arrangement that peaked with Tin Drum.his solo stuff though, is a pretty acquired taste because he preferred to have this somber, slow, atmospheric and ambient kind of sound, I think 'Pulling Punches' is his only solo song that resembled his Japan days. then it got even weirder as we moved into his modern days (2000s) where he decided to go full minimalist, completely destroyed the usual popular song structure in a way that he'd sing these poems he wrote over random noises he made in the background.Honestly i'd just recommend his compilation 'A Victim of Stars 1982-2012' because it's such a good compilation that picked his better songs along with his music transformation with each passing decade.Forbidden Colours might be a bit overplayed but it is still one of his more accessible songs.
>>123976819>>123974077i posted a musify link because it's an easy way to listen and download music at a reasonable quality some anon posted the link to Cerberus some months ago and without the accesability of musify i might have missed on KC's best improv

>>123991402yes, Karen. but without Richard's arrangements it wouldn't hit the same
>>123991421>>123991379you just know
>>123979070Hidden gem of 90’s Yes. Looking at the rest (Union, Talk, Open Your Eyes), you’d expect it to be equally as bad, but somehow they got their groove backI like Homeworld’s starting riff, and even though it’s really different, Lightning Strikes is a really fun song
>>123991240There's Luciferian/masonic imagery and themes all over prog now that you mention it. Genesis and Yes, especially
>>123991750no, that's just mainstream music in general, not really specific to prog, just watch any modern pop music video.
>>123980348They had a whole month-long campaign thing ready for the album, but had to move it to december for obvious reasons
>>123982297???
>a louse is not a homeHoly shit do yourself a favour and listen to the first 5 minutes at least. This is VDGG if they actually wanted to make enjoyable music. Brilliant
I believe Yes is the greatest prog band that ever was, top 3 rock bands ever atleastNo other band has had such synergy and mindboggling beauty in so many of their songs. They knew what they we’re doing and their only downfall was breaking away from their old way of writing songs in and around 1978Also pink floyd is stinky
Is Tunnel of Love by Dire Straits prog rock?
>>123991938Nah. Its a great classic rock song though
There we shall spend our final days of our lives;Tell the same old stories: yeah well,At least we tried.Into the West, smiles on our faces, we'll go;Oh, yes, and our apologies to thoseWho'll never really know the way.West is Mike and Susie
>>123991857Pawn Hearts is more enjoyable to me, nothing really caught my attention on any of his solo albums, just pretty boring to me.

>>123995430no he was right, i'm definitely older than you and "mogs" was never popular slang until recently, maybe some faggots used it, but it only became popular recently.
>>123995749now make them all teen girls, then i'd watch it.

>>123998234>disappointing modern concert mixinglemme guess, bass and drums 5x louder than everything else?
>>123998492pretty much
I think I'm getting filtered bros, everyone talks about how great this album is but Octopus, Power and the Glory and Glass House are all miles above this one. This is on par with their debut -- has some interesting moments but largely forgettable
>>123998655Yeah you got filtered unfortunately
>>123998655It has really high highs (more than debut) but yeah it probably ranks below the others. Octopus is their best
>>123995093Bet you like pink floyd’s echoes
Is it the great filter?
>>123993120Don't use Voivod for you're low quality shitposting.They're also the only prog metal band that really stands up with a lot of classic prog rock.
>love Third>get around to Volume 2>meh it's alright but I like Third mo-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ljqfKmoKmwI get it.
>>124000617the 2nd side is bad

>>123995800I know...
>>123996827Potemkin.
>>123998655>>123998749i used to think the same exact thing, but Acquiring The Taste really grew on me, and now it's my favorite.
>>123996827i ask this question all the time, and i never get an answer, but this asshole asks once and gets an answer.
>>124001928maybe try being nice
>>123996827there's not much like Ga'an honestly, Universal Totem Orchestra is the closest Zeuhl band i've heard, but still not exact, i haven't found any other Zeuhl that sounds like Ga'an.
>>124001987sorry
>>123998655I already got filtered by that horrible cover
>>123995785what is your favorite Tim Buckley? https://youtu.be/3o6VXKGH1yg?si=MeeECx-Ta47zID9g
>>124002063yeah this was nice. not sure about >>123995785tho
>>124002128i think he was mostly joking/being hyperbolic, Tim Buckley is one of my favorite artists though.
thoughts?
>>124002398Love the art style, dunno the music
music is pretty good from what i heard for now, not crazy about the vocalist but it's not too badhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CloG_pmV52M

>>124001283that you being filtered though

>>124003516>He went too far, the fucker
>>124003363>poserIt's the truth though.
>>124003708Mogged by Opeth
>>124003725>OpethAlways hated them even when I was a prog metal teen.
>>124003783Early Opeth sucks but their later cuts are a lot more refined and classically prog-esque desu
>>124003889Says no one ever
>>124003910Bro unironically likes edgy growl vocals
>>124003889The issue is that that prog metalfags notoriously suck at prog since prog metal is almost exclusively influenced by prog rock and other prog metal bands, while prog rock pulled from a wide variety of jazz, classical and folk influences.So instead of getting their influences from the source (jazz, classical, psych rock, folk rock, etc), prog metal got these influences secondhand from prog rock bands.when prog metal musicians try and mellow out and play regular prog rock it's always inferior to actual prog rock, and when prog metal bands don't mellow out and stick to prog metal, it's almost universally shit because they're trying to combine styles without understanding where these styles even came from and end up making shitty metal that's also shitty prog.The only good prog metal comes from bands that understand that progressive metal isn't and shouldn't be extreme prog rock or "prog rock with distortion and growls" and plays to metal's strengths. It's why Voivod and similar bands in that prog thrash (and later some variants prog death sphere) kick ass.Not related to prog metal but the frontman of the Flying Luttenbachers who coined brutal prog said it himself that he likes prog rock but flutes and ballads and the like doesn't really mesh with extreme music at all and it sounds forced when you try and take 60s/70s prog rock formulas and apply them to heavier and more extreme genres of music.
>>124004044Is this the same Voivod fag always shitting on Opeth and similar bands?>prog metal got these influences secondhand from prog rock bandsAkerfeldt's favorite band is Judas Priest
>>124003930Just because you don't like them doesn't mean they are "edgy". Harsh vocals are there to match the instrumental brutality or as in Opeth's case, many of their songs are from the point of view of a demon or lost soul. You can't tell me Black Rose Immortal doesn't belong on the list of greatest prog epics just because you don't understand what they were conveying vocally and emotionally
Are Iron Maiden prog metal?
>>124004096>VoivodfagI'd prefer if you called me Soft Machinefag since that's my favourite band but yes.
>>124004116>Black Rose ImmortalOne of their most overrated tracks, really feels like a bunch of incoherent sections stitched together for 20 minutes, their later albums are generally more cohesive
>>124004138Open your ears next time nigga
>>124004044The first prog metal bands like Fates Warning and Queensryche weren't really inspired by 70s prog though, they were just heavy metal with more complex songs and structures.
https://youtu.be/QXRsZUYxkhQ?feature=sharedYou guys told me prog metal sucked but this band is actually insane
>>124004203The only Hungarian metal anyone knows about

>>124004274>DUDE, STANDARD THRASH METAL BUT FOR 7 MINS INSTEAD OF 4, LMAOretard
>>124004274where's the prog?
>>124004367>thrash metalretard
>>124000617Gonna listen to this one for the first time, will report thoughts once done. I thrifted it on vinyl a few days ago and it seems to be an original 1974 pressing, is that any good or should I listen to whatever more recent remaster exists of it?
>>124004274>>124004367>>124004373As a non-thrash metal fanboy, I do think that at least the middle section of this seems melodic and sensible enough to pass off as prog - but a slightly proggy sequence in a thrash metal album doesn't make it non-thrash.>>124004382And it is objectively thrash metal, that is Iron Maiden's defining sound, wdym
