>>124004759Funeral is one of my favorite songs of all time. I just can't explain why or howI never listen to his newer stuff but ocean machine is a 10/10 album
What do you guys think of Neptunian Maximalism? https://neptunianmaximalism.bandcamp.com/album/solar-drone-ceremony
>>124005734As metal music it's groundbreaking, as jazz music it's been there done that
any droney prog rock kind of like Swans but more "proggy"?
>>124005889Pretty much anything considered groundbreaking in metal is just aping what another genre did 30-70 years ago.
>>124004454Is Dan Aykroyd a Magma fan? It would still not be the weirdest thing he's into.
>>124005912that can be applied to any genre, the thing that makes it groundbreaking is the fusion with different genres, besides why does something need to be "groundbreaking" to be good anyway? no one truly has "ideas" anyway.
>>124005912Are there any 70s and 80s bands that sound like Meshuggah?
>>124005976there is nothing, there is never anything.
>>124005962metalfag gibberish cope
>>124005899So weird I am listening to the Greed/Holy Money comp right now and am about to dive back in to Soundtracks later on. They were my favorite band for a few years and I never really found anything close to them even the post-rock monoliths from GYBE & Year of No Light don't come close to their creativity. I would say MAYBE This Heat especially the debuthttps://youtu.be/uXoTuSCi87Ehttps://youtu.be/spqgp-O0lKgor something like Glenn Branca or late-era Scott Walker could be considered. Godflesh. You've probably had all of these recommended before but that's because there's really nothing else like what Swans do
>>124005976ruins and some of magma's bass-heavy stuff had very similar polyrythms and sounds to meshuggah and early djent
>>124006008i'm not a metalfag, in fact i can't stand metal, there are better arguments against metal, like the fact that it sounds like shit.
>>124006008no one is truly original because all ideas are echoes of a higher truth, drawn from the divine realm of knowledge that transcends our individual experience. the material world is a mere shadow of a deeper spiritual reality, and our thoughts are reflections of that greater wisdom. we are not inventors but rather seekers, inspired by the sparks of insight that come from beyond our immediate perception. our creative expressions are channels for these divine revelations, this is why many people can have the same "ideas" at once.
>>124005976Ruins kinda https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ofmd5eg3PGk
>prog metal band>the frontman does not even like metal much and his favorite bands are Radiohead and Massive Attackhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VaRCjRpWBE
>>124006219>>124006347Damn I need to check Ruins out
>>124006359>Radiohead and Massive Attackeven worse honestly
Are there any trip hop prog bands besides Archive?
>>124005912this but unironically
>>124006415Hmmm, The Gathering?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQaxSnRPVvwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAT1atJ7_2g
>>124006481I don't know, this is bad but it could be worse, I guess? Starless and Shine On are probably my two favorite prog rock tracks, so I'm glad at least both of them are up there? Roundabout is obviously only at the top of that list because of the memes (I can think of a dozen other Yes songs that deserve that spot), I don't mind classifying Radiohead as prog but I definitely wouldn't put Paranoid Android as high as something like Starless and Shine On and I have no idea as to what Stairway to Heaven is doing there. Supper's Ready deserves way higher and that Greep song is definitely just a matter of recency bias, but eh, such is life. Could be more terrible coming from RYM.
>>124006481Not bad except for Georde Greep and Queen
>>124006649>Roundabout is obviously only at the top of that list because of the memesYou might not like it but it's been a Yes staple since foreverhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_hAhzdk-h8
>>124005889I always felt the same about Trout Mask Replica, but for blues rock instead of metal.
Progressive rock
>>124006994I can see that too. I like that album but I never found to be as out of the box as its biggest fans claim
>>124005962>>124006266Let me put it this way then: if it can be applied to any genre, then it can still be applied to metal the most by far
>>124006415VDGG
>>124004454Awesome picture. And i know it's from their not great album but Dondai from Attahk is the most life affirming song i've ever heard, it brings me close to tears.

>>124006621Based
>>124007783Listening to this album is like peering for half an hour or so through a window into a universe that has fully comprehended the absence of God. There's no instant of music on the LP that isnt pregnant with existential fear, and the program of the music plays like a series of responses to this fear ultimately ending on a note of of apprehensive calmness (which is incidentally the first semi-coherent lyrical content presented to the listener). It's one of the most subtly constructed and deeply affecting philosophical and poetic statements in the history of rock music.It's fine if the musical content isn't your thing, since it doesn't exactly make many concessions to popular aesthetics, but acting like it isn't an extremely significant album is plain and simple ignorance.

>>124012318prog folk, yes
>>124010266i prefer Zess
>>124014581The 2019 studio release of Zess is the weakest version and is surpassed by the 2005 Mythes et Legendes version and 1981 Bobino versionzess is one of magma's weakest and least interesting suites and carried entirely by the energy of those live performances which the studio release lackshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IscIof4eZ8
/x/ Prog?
>>124014623yeah, the live versions are great, and probably objectively better, but there is something about the studio version that keeps bringing me back to it.
>>124014650I dunno, I've always thought that Zess is compositionally not that interestingIt's the same two keyboard keys for 30 minutes.
>>124014623>>124014737>least interestingi mean musically maybe, but i love the way it sounds, i love the repetition, it adds a hypnotic quality, Zess is also the most conceptually interesting to me, and it's by far their most spiritual work.

Huh, this came up on shuffle, I thought it was Hatfield and the Norf https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vt45962YwrA
>>124015575Some great recs in here
>>124005889I feel the same way about Soft Machine's Third to be honest.
>>124019531Third's best aspects are the psych-rock infused jazz, especially Moon in JuneRatledge thought Wyatt was holding the bad back, when he was actually their best quality
>>124019531Soft Machine isn't anything that much like Jazz other than some of the drumming and the fact that they use Saxophones, they are still very much a rock band, this can also be applied to any jazz rock band, you would know that if you knew anything about jazz, they are completely different and good for entirely different reasons.
But no one listens to jazz rock bands (apart from maybe Chicago)
>>124019563Wyatt was holding the band back from Ratledge’s autism
>>124019711pretty muchI mean, just look at the dude, with his ugly mustache, ridiculous haircut and stupid sunglasses all the time
>>124019531same desu. it's a good album but the solos don't do much for me. i mentioned in an earlier thread that KC's Lizard is the better album, it does what i was told Third would do
>>124019563>Third's best aspects are the psych-rock infused jazzI agree, but this is also why I prefer Volume Two over Third>>124019692Redpill me on Chicago, what are their jazziest songs
>>124019330reminds me more of return to forever/chick corea, but i see what you mean, this is pretty good

>>124019949yeah, a pleasant surprise, forgot about them. Love these shuffle reminders of things that exist (and I already downloaded)
is there prog that's fun and danceable? or are we forever doomed to be nerds who stay in the corner at a party?

>>124006454Metal zeuhl is going to have the same problem as prog metal, i.e. get influenced in a second-hand manner and ignore the primary influences that made the original bands so good in the first place.

>>124021114>Old friend charity>Cruel twisted smile>And the smile signals emptiness>For me>>124022046Shine On is also a great crying song too
>>124006481>>124006649>>124022046>>124023152I can't help but wonder, is there any relationship between Starless and Shine On I-IX seemingly being two of the most universally beloved prog rock tracks (or the two most beloved if KYM is anything to go by) and also both being essentially about the loss of friendship and human connection? I've always found that they're very comparable in terms of structure too, both of them start with a long-ish mellow contemplative introduction, both of them go into their own styles of long-form instrumental musings after the opening verses (even if Starless doesn't have a second round of lyrics like the second half of Shine On does), and both end by slowing down their tempo and closing with a variation of their main motifs. Maybe both of these are very popular because they scratch a very similar itch for /prog/heads?
>>124021114I have cried to music only three times. Once while seeing King Crimson play Starless live (I was not the only one), another was hearing The Night Watch on shrooms, and the other was to this song https://youtu.be/63hYgaN1_50

Is there any prog that has twinkly guitar tones like youd find in pic related or midwest emo?
>>124019531So did Cuckgau>Third (Columbia, 1970) Robert Wyatt's light touch imbues these pleasant experiments with their own unique pulse, but only because the music is labeled rock is it hailed as a breakthrough. It does qualify as a change of pace--on the group's last album three musicians put seventeen titles on two sides, while on this one eight musicians put four on four. But though Mike Ratledge's "Out-Bloody-Rageous," to choose the most interesting example, brings together convincing approximations of Terry Riley-style modular pianistics and John Coltrane-style modal sax (Hugh Hopper has Jimmy Garrison's bass down perfect), Riley and Coltrane do it better. Only Wyatt's "Moon in June" is eccentric by the standards of its influences--which must be why it's hard to name them all. B
>>124021114https://youtu.be/E3d8XVOm5zU?si=6irzE2Y2mnW7_x18
What do we think of Japanese jazz-fusion
>>124021114is this considered prog? https://youtu.be/s7W_hiBK8Os?si=ah_1ygBfht6TvXdI
>>124019531What Third really is about is Moon in June. For the rest of the album I agree with you, but Moon in June has no counterpart neither in rock nor in jazz. Wyatt would go on to refine his style in his subsequent works, culminating in his undisputable masterpiece Rock Bottom, but as a single song I still think Moon in June ranks above all else, objectively speaking. I say that even thougu my favourite Wyatt album is Ruth is Stranger than Richard and my favourite song is probably Muddy Mouse or something from Matching Mole.
I think there was some anon in here last year searching for Stubb's Idyll Party. If you're still here, it was uploaded to youtube a while ago. Don't know if you listened to it, but here it ishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fis_Ja7ahsg
>>124019330Well now this is another group I need to download, that song is great.
Tried listening to Gentle Giant Octopus. Was some terrible, fruity shit
listening to Breathless
Feeling UK. Finally got my pedalboard together. Chuffed about that...used to just daisy chain my pedals.. noisy buggers. Got a proper board and isolated power supply for gigs. Getting good chorus tones for that 80s crimson sound. Fripp's part on frame by frame is an utter cunt. Not the stuff during the chorus, just that repetitive 6 note pattern in the intro gives my arm a lot of gyp real workout Keith
https://youtu.be/PpRDrmgrdoYFor me it's Sonhora
It's one-half prog, one-half post-rock.
>>124027841What would you say is more post-rock about it? I'd say a lot of Pink Floyd albums are very post-rock in a sense (Animals for instance) but not that one specifically desu.
>>124027841This release was an insult
>>124027965The second half felt a lot more post-rock-esque. More emphasis on sonic textures and atmospheres, as is a mainstay of Floyd's material, but not that that's a bad thing or anything, feels more reminiscent of that style
>>124027974I thought it was okay.
>>124028096it's Dave so it's a mild insult
>>124024838I can't say for certain, but I'd like to know. Pic rel is not a bad album.
>>124028096i just thought it was kind of shitty of David Gilmour to release a solo album as a new Pink Floyd album, but other than that it's an okay album.
>>124029108Yeah, I'm not a fan of David's decision to do that, but it's an okay album like you said.

I'm still surprised Zeuhl in general isn't more popular.Some of the more instrument music sound similar to great video game music.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNuDM39fzpwhttps://youtu.be/htTKCMUi07Q?si=72seKZSOHm-v2Qx5>>124004454I love Christian Vander so much.

>>124029420Do you get angry over swedish jazz fusion too? Considering jazz-fusion didn't originate in sweden, after all.
>>124021114Pretty much only Yes, they tend to find that sweet spot in music>Close to the Edge>And You and I>The Ritual>Awaken>Gates of Delirium/Soon>To Be Over
>>124029524Magma themselves and Magma specifically predicted a lot of elements which became standard I would say much much much later on. The rest of Zehul doesn't really live up to the innovations that Magma created or the artistic and creative promise. The best Magma inspired bands probably were unironically The Sex Pistols,The Dead Kenedeys,and Gojira.

>>124031466aggressively explain why Radiohead is awful and definitely not progressive rock. Start with something like, "Radiohead? Are you kidding? That's just a laughable way to try to sound intelligent. You're just being a dumb bitch trying to be edgy without actually knowing real music. Maybe you should stick to your pop nonsense." you can throw in a few "retard"s or "dumb cunt"s, Then, really get into a detailed explanation of why they don't fit the prog genre, and go on a long autistic rant about your favorite REAL prog bands. That’ll definitely make her want to fuck you.

Robert Fripp emerges from the shadow-drenched corridors of contemporary music like an enigmatic sorcerer, conjuring soundscapes that reverberate with the echoes of a forgotten cosmic order. His guitar wails with the agony of lost souls, each note a haunting whisper from the void, as he navigates the labyrinth of existence with a blend of transcendental skill and esoteric insight. The cacophony of distorted melodies intertwines with the fragile threads of sanity, creating a tapestry thick with morbid imagery where dissonance reigns and beauty exists as a flickering flame, an ephemeral mirage in a decaying world. To be enraptured by Fripp's work is to witness the dualities of creation and destruction, an odyssey through the shadows where light is but a fading ghost.In this profound journey, Fripp invites us to confront the darkness lurking in the recesses of our minds, acknowledging the gruesome reality of human experience, sorrow entwined in delight, chaos leading to catharsis. Each composition becomes a vessel, transporting listeners to the depths of existential dread, where the specter of mortality lingers like a shroud. Yet within this morbid embrace, there exists a flicker of understanding, a glimmering truth that the music is not merely an escape but a confrontation with the absurd. As he weaves these intricate sonic tapestries, Fripp remains an alchemical figure, transforming the most harrowing emotions into a universal language that echoes through the void, reminding us that, regardless of our despair, creation persists, even in the depths of oblivion.
>>124042947this post is so long it could be called a prog post and I ain't reading that
>>124043263>this post is so longkill yourself phoneredditor.
>>124021114Yes some live songs are really long and then the mics resonate in emphasis harmony near the endSome Dead too can get me there, you gotta dig for live recordings in the 70s same with Yes because sometimes the mics are just done right of the amps.. studio stuff takes away the massive sound 20 speakers gives a single instrumentidgaf about your EQ and panning, play sentimental songs on huge stacks and see how many are really that soulful
>>124016853>where did everyone go?>>124016877>suicide culto_o
>>124021114Yes is the only prog group I've actually teared up to and cried which is weird considering they're not in my Top 5.
>>124021114Tears of joy from Marooned by Pink Floyd.
Why is "Yes" so overlooked? It's genuinely one of their better albums and is a really solid debute.Better than "The Yes Album" which seems to get far more attention.
>>124043524Based. Been obsessed with their debut recently.
>>124042947>Robert, your tea's ready
>>124043524there's unfortunately nowhere near as many harmonic peaks that all the later stuff reaches
>>124043653plen
Listen to Isotope.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKT4FGGbvPQ
>>124043524I don't like either Yes or Genesis.
Robert Fripp was #50 on Rolling Stone's top 250 guitarists of all time. Adrian Belew #118. Annie Clark #26 & Tom Morello #18. What number is Steve Vai? #127Somebody at Rolling Stone deserves a painful death.
>>124044723yeah, Fripp should have been #1
>>124044771lol
>>124044771You mean #0
>>124044723I can’t imagine caring about that shit.Meanwhile when he finally tours I get to see one of my absolute heroes Trey Spruance for a pittance, have a chat after the show if I’m feeling groupie, etc.I didn’t look but obviously he’s nowhere near that list…It’s like the “rock n roll hall of fame” scam, it’s so sad to see people fall for it as if it were something to be taken seriously…
Listening to some live Lamb again = obligatory HOLY FUCK Phil was good
>>124044723>no Andrew Latimer
>>124043524Their version of I See You is awesome
yes only has ONE good album, and it's Tales from Topographic Oceans
>Tales from Topographic Oceansproof not all pretentious wankery is fast
>>124047532this is a really weird position to have.but that album is really separated from the rest musically speaking
>>124047532i just know you would like the new blood incantation albums
>>124042814The midi instruments really hurt it a ton but there is some really beautiful moments on it. I get parts from the "Les Oiseaux En Colère " section stuck my head often.https://litter.catbox.moe/u1e3du.flacHere is a bootleg of a live version from 1994. The drums add so much energy to the piece, wish I knew who the drummer was. I used to have it on youtube but it got copyright striked from seventh records.

"Close to the Edge" by Yes is an exploration of spiritual awakening, the search for transcendence, and the tension between the material and spiritual planes of existence. The lyrics evoke a journey from disgrace and confusion ("a seasoned witch could call you from the depths of your disgrace") to enlightenment, suggesting that music, often seen as a divine force, can facilitate this transformation. The repeated refrain of "I get up, I get down" symbolizes the cyclical nature of existence and the ups and downs one experiences on the path to self-realization. Phrases like "the time between the notes relates the color to the scenes" highlight the importance of the in-between spaces, akin to the esoteric thought that emphasizes knowledge hidden in subtlety and silence, rather than overt wisdom. Overall, the imagery of rivers and edges, a boundary between worlds reflects the notion of crossing from ignorance to knowledge, motivating individuals to seek deeper truths beyond the physical realm and engage fully with the cycles of life and the divine.
>>124048403pretty much
>>124048403Ah
>>124048238people be saying this

>>124033164they exist but they're all like 60+ years old
>>124050306finally, someone understands, i have met a few girls in their 20s that like stuff like King Crimson, and Magma, but it's rare, most art hoes like shit like The Antlers and Bright Eyes
>>124050306My mom is one of them
>>124033050I said it once and I will say it againYou don't need a girl that's into prog, you need a girl that can tolerate that you're into progAlso when girls are into cool stuff 70% of the time it's passed down by their boyfriend, so you'd have more luck getting her into prog
>>124021114KC's Exiles
>>124051137i personally haven't but this is the most understandable one in the thread
>>124021114Drip Drip by Comus, my mother used to sing it to me as a kid, so now when i hear it i can't help but tear up.
>>124043494Unfathomably based, Marooned really is the peak of the Floydian phenotype of blues-based, spacey, artsy prog rock: a slow tempo, no lyrics, no time signature shifting hijinks, just one man doing a deeply emotive five-minute-long guitar solo, and it fucks.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7YMI39sObY
>>124044723desu Rolling Stone's top guitarists list has always been trash
Went to a prog rock bar in Kabukicho a few years ago called Hammond Orgasm, really nice couple owned the place. I wish more countries appreciated this music like them
can someone list every single band ever that could even barely be considered Prog Rock or Prog Folk? thanks in advance.
>>124053385forgot to mention not just bands but solo artists too, preferably in either alphabetical order or even chronological order.
>>124053385Jackie Chan
>>124048403More on this, one of the best lyrics in CTTE is ”a constant vogue of triumphs dislocate man, so it seems”, meaning that a constant stream of gratification makes one’s life feel meaningless
>>124053910>meaning that a constant stream of gratification makes one’s life feel meaninglessSo that's why they recorded crap in the 80s, gotta put some spice into life eh
>>124054041The 80’s for Yes, as rocky as it was, was really good in the end. Drama and 90125 were both good albums, and Big Generator wasn’t really bad by any means, just a bit lukewarm. It’s the 90’s that was like a decade-long Titanic in slow motion: Union, Talk, Open Your Eyes. The only saving graces were the Keys to Ascensions, and only good Studio album of that entire decade, The Ladder
>>124053333Couldn't have said it any better.
>>124054171>as rocky as it was,you mean poppy
Acknowledge Potemkine.
>>124050766Op here. I will take your word. Forgive me, I really don't talk to women in the first place, but I suppose that's not much of a surprise.
