Oh wow Arch Echo making strides. They need to fire Hugh Syme. Cover looks like a lazy smash-up of Black Clouds and Dramatic Turns.

Welp I got me a ticket, hopefully its a nice album? A good chunk of the reason I'm going is to see the legendary guitar skillz in person since I'm still up and down on prog rock as a whole but it's slowly growing on me. As long as Triumph's Blinding Light Show counts, I'm good.

It turns out Yes's new song, "The Ice Bridge" was "accidentally" a cover of Francis Monkman's "Dawn of an Era" from his "Energism" album. But before it was released on Energism it was submitted to TV stations for their song library. Apparently Geoff Downes found a 1977 tape with some of his compositions and that song was on it. So he assumed it was something he wrote and he decided to turn it into a Yes song. They went through the whole process of recording and releasing it, but it only a took a day after they put it on youtube that the internet found out it was a direct lift from Monkman's song. Downes cleared it up with Monkman and he will get a writing credit so it's all good I guess. Still it's pretty embarrassing for them, and it made so some funny Darren Lock videos. https://youtu.be/p1vwbZqqydQ Gianthogweed fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Jul 31, 2021 |

I dunno guys they wrote a lot of good material in the years 1985-2005 so they might play some of that.

How have I never really listened to Soft Machine before. This came up on the youtube algorithm and it's unreal. Holdsworth kills it as does the rest of the band. And yeah, it's the only Soft Machine album that Holdsworth is on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z99w41FVpqY

I enjoy Bundles but it took me a while to accept it because I was annoyed that late-period Soft Machine doesn't sound like Robert Wyatt-era Soft Machine. (Bundles is from the late phase of the band, when only Mike Ratledge from the original incarnation was still in the band and he wasn't making much in the way of songwriting contributions and Karl Jenkins had took over as band leader. By that stage it had so many ex-Nucleus members that it's best to think of the group as "Nucleus without Ian Carr" rather than "Soft Machine without Robert Wyatt", and once you do that it I find it clicks into place.)

Those are good points. I really need to listen to the Wyatt era of the band because I've heard that's great stuff too. I love Ian Carr's Nucleus but never realized so many of the members played on this album.

(it's also nice to hear Wyatt before he had his accident, and thus his music got incredibly dark).

Rock Bottom is dark...but some of his later stuff is really nice. Check out Shleep, it's probably my favorite of his. the first track has Eno on it and it's incredible

New Dream Theater single has two things going for it - Myung’s bass is real juicy in the mix, and the drumming is tight as gently caress, definitely Mangini’s best showing so far. Rest of it is DT-by-numbers and pretty forgettable. Labrie is lower in the mix and singing in a lower register which is nice I guess.

It's making me remember just how glad I am that JP got his own IIC+-based signature Boogie. The first couple post-Portnoy albums his tone was starting to feel horribly fat. Since he's gotten the JP-2C it's really tightened up and sounds more like the Six Degrees/Train of Thought/Octavarium tone.

I dig the guitar tone and Mangini sounds like he's allowed to be himself (finally). Some tight tasty interplay. But my god do their lyrics get worse with every album. The first lines out of James' mouth I was already like "oh goddammit." Also JP needs to stop with the soaring "Life affirming as gently caress" slow licks. Those worked between Octavarium and Dramatic Turn but now they're just overdone. Even the new Liquid Tension Experiment suffered a bit because of that imo.

I just finished the first volume of this religious prog worship thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5rYL5aVy8k The proggiest bit is probably around the 7:45 mark but most of it until the last song (which is shoegaze lol) is pretty complex. Bandcamp is here for the free DL: https://jtholen.bandcamp.com/album/the-odd-awed-god-laud-vol-1

If you like religious prog, then feel free to give my album a listen: https://ledbytheshepherd.bandcamp.com/releases I released it in 2015 and then immediately lost my job and had to abandon promoting it in favour of a career change haha It's only now that I've been able to focus on promotion and trying to get people to listen to/buy it. It's kind of pseudo-prog in the way that Deep Purple is pseudo-prog. I just realized that like 6/10 songs are in Em. That's not very prog! Also, the only odd time signature is 4 bars of 7/8 in the middle of "The Return." Frank Zappa would be sooooo disappointed.

Religious prog is ok, but prog religions are better. Moogs instead of organs, readings from the Silmarillion, a high holy day on July 8th, paintings of the Madonna and child by roger dean, all that stuff.

That single sounds awesome. With 15 tracks making up two albums I'm hoping they ramp up the psychedelia up to Crack the Skye levels
