Progressive Biography

I was born on september 26th 1973.

Some might say the only thing i can do is talk about myself. So, i won't.
The only thing you really need to know is that my concern in music is as much important as breathing and takes a major part in my life.

I was first introduced to progressive rock while i listened to "Foxtrot" on my first pick up. It was my first seventies Genesis experience (i got introduced to them through "Invisible Touch", my curiosity did the rest), so i didn't know what to expect. To be completely immerged by the music, i was lying on the ground, next to my speakers. And then... "Watcher of the Skies"... Mellotron all the way. I was hooked. For life.

About 4000 cds, but progressive music is just a part of it, though big.
Lately i became a totally japanese papersleeve maniac, so it's a big hole in my budget.
But anyway, i would like to say that quantity doesn't matter...

My favourite progressive bands/artists are (but it's difficult and subject to change) :

Area
Gentle Giant
King Crimson
Magma
Mats/Morgan
National Health
Soft Machine
Van Der Graaf Generator
Weather Report
Frank Zappa
