>>128767894daily reminder that americans made the best prog and a lot of it isn't mentioned in prog discussion/isn't considered prog just to boost british morale
Currently listening to PFM - Live In London 1975
>>128768146It's a crying shame. Prog nerds are so genre-autistic that they tend to dismiss any prog that has 0.0001% too much jazz influence as being jazz rock or fusion as if those are mutually exclusive with prog somehow. I can admit I'm guilty of similar thinking. One of my favorite things about prog is how it incorporates the music of the band's country. So of course American prog is going to be, on average, jazzier than British prog.
>>128768146The Muffins, Dave Newhouse, Rascal Reports, Motor Totemist Guild and 5uu's are almost never mentioned, which is a shame.
>>128767744Did these theads die?Anyhow, I finally listened to le furry porn album and those anons a while back weren't lying about this being some of the best stuff to come out of prog in the 2020s. Some random trans brony from Portland (can't make this shit up) has outdone all the big names who are still active like Neal Morse, Steven Wilson, and Marillionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMYy8v-FzqY
>>128768271I suspect these threads die quick deaths due to jannie bias against the genre. Or maybe the endless kpop threads need more space.

What should I listen to if I enjoy the jazzy rock parts of bands like VDGG and KC but don't like the meandering crazy nonsense of shit like Larks or Lighthouse Keeper?
>>128768651Three Friends by Gentle Giant (whole album) or Pictures Of A City (just the song) by KC
>>128767847>prog>hype
>>128768651and the 2nd part of Moon child
>>128768146>americans made the best prog and a lot of it isn't mentionedthis one is the best prog album of the 21st century but no one knows
>>128768651Post the songs in question? KC obviously has several jazz influenced parts but I'm not sure VdGG does, they just have a badass sax player playing badass riffs
>>128768674I have seen that album get a lot of prase
>>128768780saar
>>128768218Because jazz is boring
>>128768728>2nd part of moonchildnigga if you like that you might be ready for regular jazz, let alone jazz rock
>>128768399That was moderately enjoyable. Thanks for sharing. I particularly enjoyed the first part of the last track.
>>128767847more like pa-stinko
>>128768771Listen to Pawn Hearts, they go absolutely schizomode
>>128769186He already said he didn't like A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers
My favourite prog band is Radiohead
>>128769257Hi David
I think High Hopes is a pretty good song
>>128768651>don't like the meandering crazy nonsense of shit like Larksyou kill yourself
>>128769186I've heard most of their albums, it's just sax licks anon. Just start with Brand X and Mahavishnu Orchestra like most proganons do.

Caravan's first 5 is one of the greatest runs in prog
What was going on with Magma in the 90s? I found some vids of a show from then and honestly it's not up to their standards

>>128779260https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQHqxPvzOI8
>>128780171semen wilson
>>128779761Very inconsistent line-up I guess, that and at the time Offering was their main thing and Magma was on the backburner. You need to keep in mind that Magma disbanded in the 80s and the only reason they reformed in the 90s was because somebody offered them good money to get back together again and play a few shows. I don't think they were really serious about reviving the band for real until the 2000s.
recommend me some epic really long prog (rock or metal) tracks. as long as they aren't on the death metal side.

>>128780924but he is a zionist..
Steven Wilson also hates Genesis
>>128780565Oh wow my timeline was way off, I thought Davis paid for them to reform in the late 90s which led to the KA lineup. The lineup earlier in the decade being the patchwork one makes a lot more sense
>>128780945That doesn't mean anything these days

THANK YOU TARKUS-CHAN
Tarkus (the song) has some great ideas, but it goes on for too long and kind of falls apart in the endand the album itself is not that greatELP is very overrated, as far as prog acts go
>this version of Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh has way better vocals, drumming and is all around more than the studio album>the cut-off is that it doesn't really have any brass arrangements and the keyboard being prominent at some parts just sounds wrong and the climax doesn't hit as hardFeels bad man.The drums being mixed so low in the studio album is criminal given that Vander's drumming is half the appeal of Magma.
>>128784597all around more intense**** than the studio albumFuck me.
>mogs Rush
>>128784702Rush fans don't even know who this is
>>128785667yes's lead singer
>>128785968That's Benny Andersson
>>128785968Who's?
>the Lamb dies down on Broadway
>>128786979true, but I like itwould have been better as a single album though
IT'S UPWhat do we think?
>>128789176has any album ever been improved by the addition of demos and lame discarted proto mixes?I like it when deluxe versions have some unreleased live material or jams, not this shitit's like the zappa family trust releasing yet another album called Joe's Cottage, with 20 tracks of Frank whistling while he takes a dump
>>128790024The Beatles White Album (Esher demos)All the recent Who reissues with Pete's autistic perfectionist semi-pro demos
>>128789176>Another Jewish ((remaster, rerelease box set))WE'RE JUST TWO LOST SOULS SWIMMING IN A FISH BOWLYEAR AFTEE YEAR
Are we team ourgon or team gorgo?
>>128773540uhh Lizard
>>128774585Red really brings the first phase of their career full circle. It follows a very similar song cycle to ITCOTCK but brings all the jazzy and avant-garde stuff Fripp had been doing with the later lineups.
>>128790165Quadrophenia Deluxe edition is incredible, and really showcases Townshend's talents as a musician, composer and producersome of his demos are even more interesting than the final tracks
I do not care for Wish You Were Here. Most of the songs are very thinly sketched and languid with some of Roger's least interesting lyrics. Have a Cigar especially is just a failed remake of Money with really hackneyed commentary on the music business.
>>128790505Red is KC's logical conclusion, which is why Fripp disbanded in their peakeverything else is either an artsier Talking Heads (discipline years) or the band dwelling into self parody (post thrak)
>>128790459I''m with the wizard who fights the devil in Maahnt

>>128793805I don't mind it doesn't have a music player, it makes it more special when a song appears. What absolutely kills me is how the song stops if you enter mule or BT territory, seems like a massive oversight from Kojimbles

I'm on a 2 hour train ride tomorrow, what epic prog sagas should I listen to, preferably concept albums
>>128803425Eloy - Dawn
>>128803425Fuck your preferences.Mike Oldfield - AmarokFlower Kings - Garden of DreamsThere's two hours of perfect music.But if you want concept albumsAyreon - The Human Equation (it's incredibly cheesy and awful on first listen)Motorpsycho - The Death Defying UnicornPeter Hammill - The Fall of the House of UsherGong - The Radio Gnome Trilogy
Are they kino?
What are Jethros hardest rocking albums? Aqualung was just faggot acoustic grandpa guitar folk
>>128767744smegma is good
>>128804006Any of their 90s albums + Crest of a knave. But if you think Tull is faggy and acoustic grandpa shit you should just kys instead.
Starting the day with Museo Rosenbach
>>128805235>Smegma is an American experimental noise group formed in Pasadena, California in 1973.[1] Author Richard Meltzer became their vocalist in the late 1990s.[1] The group was included in the Nurse with Wound list and was featured on the cover of the August 2006 edition of The Wire.
>>128806769>experimental noiseit's prog
>>128806748They have an album other than Zarathustra?
>>128807340>>128806748huh, hated the neoprog production sound, but this song is pretty good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5Kt4E9Stfc
Is it prog?
>>128808203No, but then again there's a ton of highly-rated shit on progarchives I don't consider prog.
Apart from Tubular Bells and Ommadawn, what Mike Oldfield should I listen to?
>>128809657Hergest Ridge, Incantations, Five Miles Out, Return to Ommadawn
How do we get Antoine back in Magma bros
>>128810046I don't think he'll ever come back, he and his sister allegedly left the band over the Nazi rumors surrounding Christian but chose not to really talk about it out of respect for the band.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZMQ307VsSwVGH...
>>128809657>>128810034Also Amarok, Tubular Bells II and Songs of Distant Earth
>>128809657Amarok and Return To Ommadawn are the two you need to listen to. After those, Hergest Ridge, Incantations, Crises, Songs Of Distant Earth.
>>128810128unreal
>>128809657first four albums are essential listening, insane run. hergest ridge is also one of the most underrated albums in the world
>>128810046Fuck that, how do we get Klaus and Jannick back?
>>128813448already happened 20 years agohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlJKKtgreqwbut probably won't happen again, both are retired and I don't think they've been playing music in any official capacity in 5-8 years.
Just heard Ommadawn and without hyperbole, without a single shred of exaggeration, it's the most beautiful music ever recorded in history
>>128813721i think mike's never been more locked in when making an album. there's not a single wasted moment or fluff, and i've never heard him reintroduce motifs better than on there. return to ommadawn is fine, it's nice that mike's discography ended on a long piece. i think people overrate it a fair bit just because it was his first album of note in a while
>>128813752Bwoah, whatever.
>>128813781Mike shits all over King Cringeson
>>128813721I'm really happy for you. It has been about a decade since I've felt that way about a new (to me) album.
>>128803425What did you end up listening to m9?
>>128814304Ommadawn and Tubular Bells on the first trip, when I head back tomorrow I'm listening to Amarok and Rick Wakemans Arthur Legends
I like Magma's current sound a lot. More than their 2010s lineup
>>128814331kino
>>128814331Happy trails, proggy rider
>>128810128Is he scat singing here or are these actual lyrics? I've always wondered how well the various singers comprehend Kobaian; you'd assume he would need a deep understanding of the language to just fire off vocals like that
yeah, maybe rog did have david do bass for him, but at least rog never depended on his wife for lyrics
>>128767847Dont believe the hype listen to what you like anon
MAGMA US TOUR WHEN?!!?!?!??!?
>>1288158222014>>128815114I bet none of the singers give a shit about kobaian.
>>128768146L larps
>>128815114>or are these actual lyricsIt's not improvised or nonsense. It's all written down and practiced, but there's no actual grammar/meaning here.
>>128817366>I bet none of the singers give a shit about kobaian.You are mistaken. Magma's vocalists are actually extremely committed to Kobaïan, Christian Vander treats the band as an esoteric order, new members are treated to a prolonged initiation, that includes Zeuhl mythology, Kobaïan phonology, and rhythmic discipline, ending in an esoteric occult ritual, involving chanting and invocation of Kobaïan energies to seal a spiritual bond.contrary to popular belief, Kobaïan is not an invention. Vander channeled Kobaïan through visionary states, recovering a sacred language predating all known human speech, carrying inherent archetypal power. performance demands gnostic surrender, apathy is impossible. Those who endure the rite cannot approach it lightly, the language exacts total devotion.
>>128813721I had that feeling with Incantations. Utterly hypnotic stuff.
