Hey guys, You may remember me posting some rough tracks from my prog rock project a few months back. I got some excellent constructive criticism, and we kept that in mind while finishing them up. The tracks were definitely improved as a result. I have some exciting news! We were featured in this month's issue of Prog Magazine! Here's our page:  Thanks again for all the help and suggestions. The entire EP can be streamed here: http://metamusique.bandcamp.com/

If you get one thing from 80s Crim, get Absent Lovers. It's insanely good.

I agree that the album feels short, but it's probably just the fact that we're all familiar with Luminol already. It's a 55 minute album, but it feels much shorter than that. There is not an ounce of filler on it, and I feel like some tracks (particularly The Pin Drop) could have gone on for a bit longer.

Gianthogweed posted:This might be the creepiest unboxing video I've ever seen. It's from some weird looking dude that does prog reviews, this time it's an unboxing of Pink Floyd's The Wall Immersion Box set. Honestly he actually seems like a pretty cool guy, and his videos are entertaining, for the most part. Heh, I've actually been in touch with that dude before. When my prog project got onto the unsigned artist's cd at last year's Prog Awards show, this guy had one of his solo tracks on there as well.

Helicity posted:This Steven Wilson album is amazing. I didn't think anything would top Beardfish's album for recent work, but Drive Home is easily one of the best songs I've heard in a long time. You know it's a great album when everyone has a different favorite track!

Seventh Arrow posted:I did preview some of the "From Genesis To Revelation" on iTunes and I have to admit that it's not nearly not as bad as I was led to believe. I may actually pick it up, although I have no intentions of becoming a Genesis completionist. Heck, I'm not even a Rush completionist, and I live in Canada Porcupine Tree and Opeth are both huge in the modern prog scene. Check out In Absentia and Damnation.

david puddy posted:Try Anathema, they have been one of my favourites since I discovered them. They are kind of in a place between alt rock and prog though. I also want to throw Karnivool in, they have some great tunes. Also Tool. For Anathema, try We're Here Because We're Here, and for Tool check out Lateralus.

Myrmidongs posted:And one of my favorites which literally nobody listens to but I have to plug, Pure Reason Revolution. Their earlier stuff was a lot more proggy, then more and more electronica crept in, then they broke up I remember reading that Rick Wakeman listen(ed) to PRR. Their first album was alright.

Yeah CTTE is a lot more focused and cohesive than Fragile. I like to think of Fragile as a 4 track EP with a few solo bonus tracks mixed in. I listen to just those main band tracks 90% of the time.

Steve Howe is one of my favorite guitarists, he has one of the most unique voices on the instrument in the rock world. Eschewing blues influences in favor of country, classical, and jazz was a really novel idea at the time. As for seeing Yes, if its both convenient and inexpensive I'd consider it. I'd either of those conditions aren't there I would probably pass. I also hesitate to give those fuckers any money after how they treated Jon Anderson.

Your dislike list is fascinating because its actually a pretty complete cross section of prog subgenres. You've got symphonic, folk, fusion, neo, and avant all represented. It makes suggesting new stuff pretty difficult.

Octy posted:Anything else? Got plenty of time. Try: Anglagard, Can, Devin Townsend (this is somewhat heavier than what you've listened to so far, start with Synchestra and Terria), Opeth (start with Damnation then Heritage), Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson solo material, and UK.

Actually the first Opeth track that got me hooked was Bleak, and I never listened to any music with death growls in it before that. The music was so astonishing (especially the jazzy middle section) that I listened to it about 15 times in a row, and had developed an ear for the vocals style after that.

I caught the Opeth show in Tucson a few days ago, and it was a really really good set. I was a little worried that I would hear the entire Heritage album live yet again, but other than The Devil's Orchard the songs were pretty evenly divided between My Arms Your Hearse through Watershed. They also did a brilliant and hilarious acoustic version of Demon of the Fall.

This has actually been in the works since just after the film came out. I don't blame him, while watching the movie I repeatedly though about how similar it was to various Dean covers (the floating islands in particular).

Seventh Arrow posted:I lived in a rural area when I was in high school and when people wanted to avoid the boring bus ride, I would give them a lift. The catch was that instead of the goofy music they wanted to listen to, they had to be subjected to Frank Zappa, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Rush, King Crimson, etc. I think they couldn't wait to get out of that car. This sounds pretty terrible, and it's exactly how I was in high school. Making girls listen to prog is pretty awkward.

Girl prog fans are pretty much unicorns, although the modern bands have a little better luck attracting the ladies. I've been to Yes shows where there were pretty much no women except the obligatory old hippy lady that stands and sways when everyone else is seated.

alnilam posted:I really like Ritual (Nous Sommes du Soleil) on Tales, though, which is on side 2. I agree the album feels a little stretched out - and believe me, as I'm sure most prog fans do, I have a high tolerance for long-rear end music. But I wouldn't want to see Ritual cut out I don't meant they should have just discarded the second half of the album, I mean they should have chopped most of The Ancient, most of The Remembering, and a little bit of Revealing Science and Ritual. It's a great single length album with a ton of filler.
