Which wind instrument is the king of prog rock?
>>127598565the flute is twice as prominent in 70s prog rock than the sax, barely a competition
>>127595300They only had one subpart album with Phil up front. Late 70s Genesis were still a great prog rock band and 80s Genesis were a great pop rock band.
>>127598584I prefer the sound of the flute in most circumstances, but it's nice when albums use both instruments for a variety of textures.
>>127598565the soprano sax
Listening to Atomic Rooster.
when do they stop tuning their instruments and start playing the music?

>>127599417why are people ok with this but still bitch endlessly over the improv on moonchild
>>127600305because Larks is actually great, you tasteless pleb
>>127598935great band, but not quite prog, is it? kind of like if Deep Purple was a power trio
>>127600305Because moonchild is shit while Larks takes some getting used to but is great
>>127600305Because Moonchild filters plebs
I THINK MOONCHILD SUCKS
It's 9/01/25
>>127601566That'll be in 4 months retard-kun...
>>127600441It's got some proggy moments.
>>127599417I like the Elemental Mix of Larks the most.
>>127600305Is this bait? Everything on Larks is phenomenal cohesive (if dissonant) music with a direction. Moonchild is a bunch of musicians. rubbing their dicks on their instruments for 10 minutes without regard for what anybody else is doing.There's a chance I may be a midwit who just doesn't *get* Moonchild, but I doubt it. Third by Soft Machine is how you properly do freeform music.
>>127594828You better be.
Whats your thoughts on Temple Fangs debut album??https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJDCOb2gNt4Just begun listening to it and I've been liking it a lot. They're in tune withother and swings out with solid rhythm and timely passages. Feels like a true progressive rock album from the 70s but naturally with a more modern sound.I did a search in the archives and there seem to be no talking about them whatsover. They've been playing live during the summer. Seems like a great band. Thoughts?
>>127607236>Feels like a true progressive rock album from the 70s but naturally with a more modern sound.that's like every second modern prog album
>>127607372can you recommend some?
>>127598935Their total genre switch on Made in England is baffling, but feels in line with some other rock bands at the time.
>>127599417Right when easy money starts, which justifies the rest of the album

>>127616811The devil's in the details. There's nothing super dynamic and bombastic about the tracks, but the nuances are viscerally good. The first time you listen to it, all you hear is unnoteworthy and inoffensive, you could argue even unusually accessible, at a surface level. But once you are well-versed in the discography, the quality starts shining through in the little things. It's a little bit like Godbluff in that regard.

Moonchild makes Providence seem good.
If Moonchild didn't exist, we would never have had Moonman
MOONMAN MOONMAN CAN'T YOU SEE
https://youtu.be/PLID1bz2X_M
Moonchild makes Requiem seem good.
the big problem with Moonchild is not the song itself it's just a lame stupid filler track on an otherwise classic album, but it kind of fits the vibe of ITCOTCK so that, despite being jarring, it doesn't feel out of place on a full listenthe real problem is that, because it has a place on such an incredible prog masterpiece, it's held as iconic and disrupting just for being therethe band has made other jams and free form improvisations, as loose as they could be, but they were far more interesting than fucking moonchildcheck SABB or the live recordings from that era, and you'll see how much of an improvisation powerhouse KC could bemoonchild is just an aimless stupid filler track made maybe in a rush to put out the album or as a joke, who knows...but autistic retards overrate the fuck out of it as if it was some sort of classicand that includes the king of autistic retards himself, Robert Fripp, who shoved those poor improvs such as moonchild wherever he could as some sort of testament to his own creative prowess (regardless to the fact that he was the worst improviser in every formation of the band)Providence is an example of this: what a poor, shitty, pointless, stupid and anti-climatic song. The moonchild of Red

So Lake and Sinfield were the true geniuses right
>>127625391This but unironically

He was also the main songwriterand Giles is a really underrated drummer, his work in the debut is out of this worldLake was a competent bassist with a very nice voice

VDGG is the most unique of the great prog bandsnothing else sounds like them, their music is so eery, odd, and intense

>>127637792>Do you know what the band's intentions were when they wrote it?Greg Lake said in an interview the sole purpose of Moonchild was to fill time because didn't want to put a cover in their debut album. You can like it, but don't pretend like it's some kind of avant-garde masterpiece. It's filler first, art second.
If you're filtered by the mild and dreamy Moonchild you may as well give up and go listen pop music.

>>127648876have to admit I wasn't browsing /prog/ back then, amazing chart you got there, from what I recognize
>>127629847It was due to popular request, I wouldn't call that making him a hack
>>127648876Serious question, what is the difference between brutal prog and zeuhl?
>>127648886You should check out P.O.N. if you haven't already, since you're looking for brutal prog reccs.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSWb9mNn9J4
>>127648955Brutal prog emerged from the Japanese zeuhl scene and taking ideas from the heavier aspects of Magma's; music but not all zeuhl is brutal prog and not all brutal prog is zeuhl.Brutal prog's just a catch-all for avant-prog that pulls from shit like noise rock, free jazz, hardcore punk, no-wave, extreme metal/grindcore and the like.Zeuhl's just a combination of progressive rock, jazz-rock and opera that generally has very downtuned bass grooves and rhythmic drumming, and wild, all over the place vocals that range from chanting, opera, shouting and shit
>>127648955>>127649015Plus, the Zeuhl influence in brutal prog largely went away in the 1990s when brutal prog appeared in America. American bands were more interested in how technical, mathy and abrasive Ruins were rather than Ruin's zeuhl roots. Flying Luttenbachers does have a De Futura cover though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HtUC_CrR_AThere are still zeuhl brutal prog groups in America and Europe but it's not as pronounced or as common as it was in Japan.
I know you guys love to talk trash about Fripp but right now let's focus on his managerWho the hell does this guy think he is? He's Fripp manager, yeah. So what? I mean, look at this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_SingletonYou just know he wrote it himself. Also his music is fucking shit. How the hell can he be a "producer"?Fuck off, buddy.

*last 10 minutes of moonchild start up*
Which ones worse?>Moonchild >Providence

>>127652679Providence is worse because Fripp deliberately chose to make a shitty song to place therewith Moonchild they knew they didn't have anything else to fill up that time in the album, so they put 10 minutes of noodling

>>127670090i sure fucking hope not
>>127673256>One of the members of IQ used to post on the prog rock subreddits, and all of his comments were either thanking people for praising IQ or emphatically arguing that Pink Floyd isn't prog, which is extremely funny.lol who was that
>>127674628I'm not entirely sure which member it is, but he plays keyboard so it might be Neil Durant or maybe Mike Holmes. It would be a lot funnier if it was Holmes. He mentions being 60 in one comment but I think if it was Holmes he would have to be rounding down and if it's Durant he'd have to be rounding up, so who knows.

NEW BROOF KINO DROPPEDhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kM6SO7tgofM
>>127687588
>>127687567Great album. I wish Traffic was more discussed on these generals.
>>127689246I wish it wasn't
>>127687567>>127689246My dad, who had about the most normie taste possible, for some reason loved the song The Low Spark Of High-Heeled Boys
>>127689571Cool. Such a contrarian. You deserve an award.
I listened to this yesterday and I actually quite liked it. I'm not a huge fan of The Mars Volta, but this album is pretty decent.
>>127689586It was an FM radio favorite in the early 70s, so lots of people heard it whether they were prog heads or not.
>>127690371It's my favorite of theirs. What about them do you generally dislike? In my experience, "I don't really like Mars Volta but" people have their first album as the one they like.
>>127690923>What don't you like about them?Particularly Cedric's vocals, but that's not to say that I don't like his vocals entirely, just certain songs I can't really get into because of them. I listened to De-Loused in the Comatorium earlier this spring, and I did enjoy it, but the reason why I put them off for so long until now was particularly because of the vocal passages. I'm getting back into them again and I'm listening to their back catalog more.
>>127607236Ackchyually, picrel is their debut album, called Fang Temple. It's a bit more jammy but it does contain my favourite track of theirs (No the Skull). Lifted from the Wind is stronger as an overall album though, it sounds a lot more mature.I've seen them live 2 times so far, very solid band. Their strongest point is the interplay between the 2 guitarists imo. Briefly talked to them after the second show, very friendly dudes, probably gonna see em again later this year.
>>127687567>Christgau gave this a BWhoa this might actually be really good then if even he thought it was decent
>>127690274shut up loser
>>127692270Make me, bitch ass nigger. I will fight you.

>>127694064Impotent response from an impotent weasel of a man. Keep feeding me, retard. I do laps around your donkey ass.
>>127675688good call
>>127690923>What about them do you generally dislike?SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEthe vocals
>>127694402>le internet tough guyyou're pathetic
>>127695638It's pathetic that you keep coming back for more. You're a glutton for punishment, but then again, you are a little faggot.
>>127693866Wrong
>>127693987So start with Filmworks or Masada, there's more then enough spork worship on this shitty board
>>127696139Oh, here we go....
