Take a look at my girlfriend
>he prefers the 1987 remix of Hot Ratsshiggy diggy
>>127701226no he doesnt
Every poo demonstrably true
>>127701226the 87 mix is clearly superior in every wayWillie The Pimp is just jarring in the original version, with the split sound in the intro, and the 87 version of The Gumbo Variations is much better
Frank Crappa lol big keks all round hey
>>127702714The primitive digital mastering is objectively godawful. The editing changes are more a matter of preference, but personally I don't think they were necessary.
Me? It's Gentle Giant's third album.
*stares at you*
>>127706133WOO!
i had no idea this general was still around
sometimes
>>127706119holy shit, what an ugly dude
>>127706119>ugly>short>autistic>uncreative>unskilledno wonder he resented his bandmates so much, especially his better looking more talented ones
>>127709891That face.
>>127707427it's not
>>127709891>>127709917I unironically look like that

*taps the sign*
>>127702714>>127705382Hot Rats is the only one where i prefer the 87 mix, the original mixes for Freak Out & Uncle Meat especially are a lot better than the 87 mixes.
>>127709891>uncreativehe literally invented the genre for the general you are posting in.
>>127706154No pussy
>>127711255you don't actually believe that, do you? even if you hold KC accountable for creating prog with their debut, the merit goes to Ian McDonald, who was the main songwriter, arranger, producer and resposible for the album's trademark sound with the mellotron, woodwinds and keyboardsfripp was just at the right place at the right timeall his attempts at emulating the success of the first album were pathetic. KC was only ever good when extraordinary and creative musicians pushed the band into new interesting directions
>>127712023trvkefrippfags btfo and on suicide watch with no chance of ever recovering
>>127712023frippsisters... our response?...
>>127712023The dark, heavy edge of ITCOTCK was ans much influenced by Fripp as the folksy whimsy was influenced by McDonald. They were the yin and yang of the original lineup, combining each other’s starkly contrasting musical dispositions into one all encompassing epic of an album is what made it work. Giving all the credit to either of them is stupid and petty, as is ignoring or dismissing Fripp’s role in assembling the talent of later lineups and defining their musical and philosophical identities. Like him or not, he is a founding father of prog.
>>127712023>KC was only ever good when extraordinary and creative musicians pushed the band into new interesting directionsPic related
>>127713082start doing this.
>>127712023>>127713047fripp was the style, mcdonald was the substance; hence why ITWOP sounds more 'hollowed out' while still retaining the exact same atmosphere to it, and McDonald and Giles has the same soul despite being a thematic antipode. While I certainly have my Bias, I think everyone interested in this debate should listen to each writer's respective songs from the Brondesbury Tapes and put their own say to who really invented prog>McDonaldhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Atbcivw8Z8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eikl83XOhbwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNOGBiVPtD0>Fripphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CezPYbCZ5zIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrEB-15HQGYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbwHS3awJdQ
>>127713104>say to who really invented progyou serious?Prog was started by the Nice and Procol Harum in 67 (it was psychedelic rock with classical influence), and in the next years people started to mix rock with classical. ITCOTCK was the album that defined the genre, but it didnt start it
>>127712559nothing to say
>>127713238I know, he beat us to a pulp
>>127701213You have never lived with a woman who wasn't mommy

>>127713929It's common knowledge if you listen to prog

>>127713939*only or primarily
>>127713804keep posting more random asian women, surely that will bring this gen back to a state of integrity
>>127710453What an underwhelming vocal performance for one of the most emotional songs of all time. Thanks for reminding me I should listen to the original and the Seconds Out version.
>>127714042I'm the OP. I listen primarily to prog only. I have zero fucks to give.
TIL the woman on the cover is naked

>>127712023>all his attempts at emulating the success of the first albumthe one time? because nothing he was involved with after ITWOP sounds anything like ITCOTCK
>>127716100What stink is Rog going to make about this one

>>127714482I used to think that was a guy on the coverI heard it was apparently one of his old girlfriends
>>127718107His girlfriend did the spoken word parts
>>127706119>>127709891he didn't look that terrible when he cleaned himself up in the late 70s/80s. he aged like 50 years once the 90s started though

>>127719105holy based
Now that dust has settled why was it forgotten so quickly? Is it because it just consists of 2 long tracks?They were both well made but lacked any real stand out moments
>>127720434because at some point you realize Steven Wilson is fucking boring and has nothing to offer beyond being the posterboy for a genre that has been creatively irrelevant for decades
>>127720526>genre that has been creatively irrelevant for decadeslmao not sure if boomer or an ignorant hipster who only listens to acclaimed music
>>127720564I like Steve and understand some of the critiques against him, but man something about his music really makes people overly emotional, and I mean in an argumentative way
god i fucking hate anime
Say something nice about it on it's 50th birthday

>>127720835Never heard of em, will check out
>>127720700Yeah I'm not sure why he makes some people so mad
>>127720835
>>127720700Ironic when lot of people criticize him for being soulless
Petefags and Philfags don’t realize they’re on the same team
>>127720736two men in suits shaking hands one man is on fire
>>127720736Kudos for using the original cover.
DO NOT BULLY FRIPP
>>127719105FILL THE APPLICATION, STARTA NEW CAREER
Devin Townsend should be the poster boy for modern prog and not Steven Wilson
>>127721772It was the American cover actually, but because most reissues regardless of artist tend to prioritize the UK editions, the inferior cover became the cd/digital standard. What a shame.
>>127722127he's extremely reddit and tacky. he's perfect for the job.
>>127722257>he's extremely reddit and tacky.He's completely sincere and genuine so irony poisoned people don't get him and call him cringe
>>127722289>sincere and genuineI agree. This doesn't contradict my post one bit. The fact that his goofiness is not an act just makes him even more of an embarrassment.
>>127722992He's just Canadian
>>127723000He's a neckbeard without the neckbeard.
>>127722992He's bipoler and went through a lot of shit while touring, I'm glad he's doing better now
>>127723058Victimhood points aren't redeemable here.
>*is secretly the best KC recording in your path*
>>127723583cool but i'm not paying 10 dollars to DGM to listen to it sorry
This is like if prime Yes sang in Spanish and was less indulgent

>>127722127>prog metal should be the poster boy for modern progno
>>127713804>>127714014Funnily enough I did some digging and this was apparently originally released for karaoke in Japanand now I'm just imagining a bunch of drunk Japs at a karaoke bar singing Kobaian in thick japanese accents

>>127725585I don't have a prog waifu. Kate Bush is the only decent one, and even then, she has always been unattractive.
>>127728866>she has always been unattractive.:|
>>127728883Sorry. I should have said physically unattractive. Creatively, she's very attractive. And she's probably a nice person too.
Hey anons, any recs on modern instrumental prog? 2024/2025 releases edition.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATK_GyiCDvQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uek1mexDB3IMore instrumentals like this?
Why has there been so much hate towards modern prog over the years? It's not like any of the music was offensively bad It's especially weird to still hate on Prog now when shit like nu metal, emo pop and butt rock has been destigmatized
Look I'm just not gonna listen to prog released post 1981. That's all.
>>127729038People like The Aristocrats. I don't get it personally, but there you go.
>>127729594>post 1981a fan of discipline?why not 75
>>127730234Because Duke came out in 1980
>>127727550Just like every other TSOAF album, half is great and half is boring. At least this time they put all the great tracks together.
>>127730234exactly that actually>why not 75Pink Floyd and Rush were still putting out good albums in the late 70s though
>>127730234>why not 75Eskaton, the last good prog
>>127730234
>>127730234Marillion made great albums in the 80s though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuM-4y2GyfQis it still a guitar solo when theres vocals? @ 3:00

>>127733909King Crimson can't do brutal pro-
bump
>>127718103one of them was me. i see it as soyuz 2, so not too hype. the longer they take to write an album the worse it is usually. theres samples of all the tracks and lyric sheets were found on their site and its just ok from what you can hear so far. i hate to say it but the lyrics feel ai generated. very weak. probaby weaker than their first two albums honestly. the concept is bullshit. it was supposed to be about a wormwood plaguebringing comet or something originally and theres still some of that in 8-ball and maybe ceres but other than it just feels like unconnected shit. i've mostly moved onto things that are more in line with my taste this dry period. new corbin album is my aoty. feels more like a gazpacho album than this does lyrically.
Blocks your path
>>127740535Never heard them
>>127734301Why is he like that?
>>127740790Maybe his butt hurts.
>>127740802He should stand more oftenThose little chairs he always uses are so uncomfortable
>>127740961Fripp smol
>>127740535best Zappa live albumWazoo is underrated though
>>127740969he fired his best bandmates out of manlet-ragethat's also why he plays sitting down, so people won't notice there's an ugly dwarf playing guitar on stage
Listening to Yeti for the first time. It's good shit. Just listened to Future Days, for the first time too, after listening to almost 3 hours of Liszt and it felt pretty underwhelming. I mean, where's the music?
>>127740978I'm not one of those people who doesn't like his goofy comedy music, but I still think the Hot Rats and Waka/Wazoo eras were peak Zappa. The Yellow Shark is underrated too.
>>127741080I think I'm gonna listen to The Great Deceiver next. Is it really that great?
>>127741289wetton jams can be really hit or miss. you're not going to like every single improv from the sets, but a couple of the improvs should become new favorite KC songs. If you like how they perform the normal songs too, then yeah you'll get a real kick out of it. It's like starless and bible black if it just went on and on and on. No I wouldn't call it the best KC Live album but it's maybe the most exhaustive in it's fullness
>>127740802From what?
>>127741435What is the best KC live album, then?
>>127741195fully agreedI don't have a problem with the sillier stuff, but the orchestral tunes and jazz/fusion epics are peak zappa
lefty prog? (besides wyatt)
>>127741752pink floydhenry cow
>>127731689Thanks, but I already know it. Sylvia is great too.
>>127741661
>>127741752Robert Wyatt's androgynous singing doesn't do it for me. I can't get into his stuff.
>>127741815I will listen to it after I finish Darwin. Thank you. Got some more beers for 2 whole hours.
>>127741815/thread It's actually the best live album of any prog band
>>127742035Better than Yessongs? I don't think so.
>>127742113Yes.
>>127742120Peak Yes vs 80's King Crimson

>>127742686I think it's very facile, but a quite clever forgery... The songs are poor in general; the lyrics I can't quite believe. Gilmour's lyrics are very third-rate.
>>127741752art bearspeter gabriel
>>127742686What is better, this or The Division Bell?
>>127742686THE GRASS WAS GREENER
>>127742798AMLoR:>Waters said the album had "a couple of really nice tunes" and chord sequences and melodies he would have retained had he been involved.TDB>Waters, who left Pink Floyd in 1985, dismissed The Division Bell as "just rubbish ... nonsense from beginning to end."
EXPOOOOOOOOSUREEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGHHH!!!!
>>127742879Well if Roger says so it must be true
>>127742707>>127742686I like the sax in their concerts following that one:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13m5-0EOwIM
>>127741661arguably starless and bible black because it gives you a glimpse of everything TGD has to offer you, but not five hours long. sabb aside, I can't pick one in specific because none of them are exactly perfect, although I do have a favorite from each era. But if you put a gun to my head and told me to just say one, the first that comes to mind is the Frejus concert from Neal and Jack and Me

Why no new studio albums by KC?
>>127745907They're a spent force creatively
>>127746062Fripp fired all the creative people
>>127744563Argentine boomers cooked, Buenos Aires had a scene equivalent to Canterbury or Germany
>>127729098https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puREGtrjubU
>>127745907Why bother? All the "new" music was already released on the live albums.
For me it’s Trespass
is there another prog album similar to this, but like.. not flaming trash?in the sense that every track is an epic i mean
>>127746786incantations>inb4 that's also flaming trashthen no
>>127746786i'd say picrel but that's kinda the thematic opposite of what tfto is. it's kino though
>>127720434Who else went or is going to see him live for this?
I'm a girl btw
>>127748845You're a fat hairy man. Women do not like prog rock.

>Math rockers can't be pro-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TcUvXzgwMY
>>127750828Math rock was just prog for hipsters who thought they hated prog
>>127751616Yup. Recent math rock seems to embrace this a little more than in the past. I guess its cool now to claim as your inspirations Yes and King Crimson. The insecurities of the past are gay.

>>127752224And it's not even close.So tasteful. Good voice too shame he didn't get to sing much after.
>>127749612probably correct
>>127746786no and thank godprog becomes a self-parody the moment it prioritizes "epicness" over anything else

Genesis pisses me off, especially the Gabriel-eraIt's like somebody is telling me a long, convoluted story that takes backseat to the musicThen when I try to get engaged and solve the puzzle, I find that the puzzle has already been put together by a guy wearing spandex with a blooming flower headdress, waving it around in front of me, as if a completed puzzle swaying around is itself some profound, magical momentfuck Peter Gabriel and fuck Genesis

Thanks, previous thread anon who posted about Temple Fang, i like what i've heard so far. Still prefer Astra/Birth, but they get close to that, so more like that is good.
>>127756180Kinda based
>>127755988He only said that he doesn't like Genesis that much. But he also said that likes Peter and Steve solo stuff so I guess he's just not a fan of Phil's era.

>>127756856Steve's solo stuff was always carried hard by his collaborators. He's obviously a great guitarist but not a very naturally gifted composer or all around recording artist. Funnily enough though he seems to be really demanding and difficult in a collaborative band, not just in Genesis. That's not a defense of Tony Banks. He ragequit GTR too.
