Progressive Rock

[Soul Reaper]

Have you heard this guitar solo from one of Dream Theater's songs 'As I Am'?


As I Am

the Petrucci solo? i didnt like it...
the last 2 Dream Theater albums (Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence and Train of Thought) have failed to impress me.

What do think of this new prog band, The Mars Volta?

Frank Zappa wasn't really prog. I don't think you could possibly catagorise Zappa.

Whenever I look at prog websites, Frank Zappa is put under prog rock or fusion. Although, I wouldn't be able to categorise him.

Nice!

This is a Mars Volta song called Eriatarka, it's pretty good.

what about early genisis with gabriel???

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Again, I wouldn't really call the Mars Volta prog, I'd call them indie or alternative.

You want real new-prog, check out Glass Hammer.

has anyone mentioned Magma yet?

They had a completely unique sound, it was called 'Zehul', which actually means celestial. Magma even had their own language called Kobaian.

I love all of that stuff, particularly Rush, Yes and (Fish era) Marillion.

However, one of my favourite Prog albums, and a largely forgotten one, is Jeff Wayne`s "War of the worlds".

Anyone else got it?

You`d never get away with an album like that now.

It`s amazing that you could ever make an album like that back then and it would actually chart.

What the fuck is wrong with music fans these days?

The are totally closed to something that radical.

Got it !

The chances of anything coming form Mars are a million to one !
But still they come !




How about Tubular Bells - Mike Oldfield ?

Well they call themselves prog and they are listed as prog. But who cares?

Glass Hammer, eh? I'll check them out.

My favourite prog verse ever;

"Welcome back my friends
To the show that never ends
We're so glad you could attend
Come Inside, come inside..."

-Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Karn Evil 9 1st impression part 2


Everyone know 'Your Move' by Yes (part a of All Good People). Who would have thought that you could sing so passionately and with so much feeling about chess. Most beautiful piece of music.
