2000s Crimson is so underrated imo. Some real gnarly, aggressive stuff in there which is when KC are at their best (FraKctured and Level Five are just  ), cool glitchy electronic drums that make them sound almost drum&bass-like and as always some great live stuff - EleKtrik is definitely one of their top live albums. There's no one else who ever made any music that quite sounds like that era of KC.Plus I'll always respect Fripp for continually trying to "move their sound forward" instead of just rehashing Schizoid Man for 50 years. Even though Schizoid Man is literally the best song ever.

Makes me think of Nuages and Industry off ToaPP. I really enjoy the atmospheres in those tracks, it's quite unique.

Anil Prasad is at the *nine* hour KC50 press event, and posted this on FB:Anil Prasad posted:Today’s focus is attending a King Crimson 50th anniversary media event in London, running across 9 hours. Four hours involves Robert Fripp addressing attendees and taking questions. The first two hours have been extraordinary with great depth and sensitivity applied to many topics by Robert.

I'm so loving happy about this news  I've been listening to music almost exclusively through Spotify the last couple years, so when I want to hear a KC song, I've had to search YouTube for it. This will make things so much easier.e: https://twitter.com/rickthelai/status/1114900396621713409 Rageaholic fucked around with this message at 22:48 on Apr 7, 2019 |

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/king-crimson-robert-fripp-press-conference-819254/ Ouch. quote:But one of Saturday’s most striking moments came when Fripp described his dissatisfaction with the Crimson ProjeKCt tour that featured Stick Men (a band including current Crimson members Tony Levin and Pat Mastelotto) and the Adrian Belew Power Trio. He went to see the group at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire in March of 2014, feeling “very excited,” and as he put it, “prepared to jump up and down and shout out loud, demanding for ‘Schizoid Man.” But his mood soon took a turn.

Eh, I honestly don't care for it that much. It's a bit too busy and feels disconnected from the vibe of the original track in the way that rerecorded parts often do, and the beginning and ending sections really didn't need an added drum part.

I’m honestly kinda iffy on it too but I’ll give the whole thing an honest chance. It does change the mood quite a bit. The electronic drums gave it a kind of sterile feel throughout the album, which I think worked well enough.

Newsom was inspired by Roy Harper's album Stormcock, so that would be my first recommendation—it meets all of those criteria. I'd also look into psychedelic and progressive folk in general. First Utterance by Comus is essential. Renaissance didn't really have dense, esoteric lyrics, but they excelled at everything else you listed, and I think you'd enjoy them, even if they're probably a bit lighter in tone than what you're looking for. I recommend starting with either Novella or Turn of the Cards, but I'd recommend without reservations all of their albums from Ashes are Burning through A Song for All Seasons.

XBenedict posted:You may like Laurie Anderson. Particularly Mister Heartbreak Haha, thus far Mister Heartbreak wasn't what I was expecting but it's definitely holding my attention. I've even heard Excellent Birds before. (The '80s were a weird time.) I get moderate Kate Bush's The Hounds of Love vibes from it; there's a chance you may enjoy that one. I swear I must've heard some Joni Mitchell growing up but I can't pull any to mind so I'll look her up too.

I adore Scheherazade and Other Stories, though I don't think any of their other albums ever clicked with me. Though that was a while ago. I think I may even have Ashes are Burning in my dusty vinyl pile; I'll go root around. Edit: While I'm at it, Jack o' the Clock's Repetitions of the Old City - I is superb.

Joni Mitchell has always been a favorite of mine. I recommend Clouds, Ladies of the Canyon, Court and Spark and Blue. Listening to Joanna Newsom for the first time right now and I really dig it. Her voice reminds me of that husky old time jazz style like Carol Channing/Phyllus Marshall (the lady that played catgut in the Muppets Musicians of Bremen). Also getting some Melanie vibes. Really takes me back to my youth. Also if you like Annie Haslam of Renaissance, you might like Maddy Prior. She has a similar folky/classical voice. She sang The song of Hiawatha on Mike Oldfield's Incantations. Gianthogweed fucked around with this message at 02:22 on Apr 18, 2019 |

The guy who recommended Current 93 is spot on(and check out Sleep Has His House in addition to the albums he mentioned) but since this is the prog thread you should probably also listen to Comus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icGTBLeBXnE e: Spirogyra is also worth checking out although not as wild as Comus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8cIQ0UYxxc

It took me forever to “get” Newsom. My partner would put on an album and it would hit me the wrong way immediately. Last time we listened to her I read the lyrics and really listened to what was going on with the music and it clicked with me. She’s an incredibly unique talent. Interestingly enough Current 93 was that way when I first heard his music and now I’ve been a huge fan for years. The comparison sounded strange to me at first but I totally get it.

There was a phase where Death In June's Doug P. and a similar crowd were collaborating quite closely with Tibet, but Tibet collaborated with everyone he came across - his association with Nurse With Wound and Coil were more sustained and Doug and crew largely drifted away from the Coil/Nurse/C93 crowd when the latter got wise to their deal. (Doug claims it's because Tibet was palling around with Tiny Tim, who Doug couldn't abide due to Tim's homophobia... Except Doug kept being buds with Boyd Rice, who was as close to Tim if not closer. Also, note the irony of Doug "Death In June" Pearce advocating shunning people for obnoxious beliefs.) There's an entire song on Thunder Perfect Mind which can be summarised as "Doug, I love you, but this Nazi thing is kind of a weird obsession with you".

Really? I never heard about that. I always assumed his weirdness was just, well, weirdness. He’s an odd person but I never thought he was a white nationalist by any means. & yeah I haven’t listened to much since then but I haven’t been inspired by much of it if any. Not sure what he’s going for or if he’s just bored or what.

I'd put the cutoff at Rose Clouds of Holocaust, which incidentally is also the last DIJ album to include contributions from Tibet and Cashmore and other C93 folk, which strongly suggests that without a decent musical partner carrying him there isn't much to Doug P.

That's been my impression as well. The earlier material had other contributors too, like Tony Wakeford for the post punk era and Patrick Leagas on Nada(there's a solo album he did which has new versions of like half the Nada songs which suggests he had a lot of input).
