This is Your Captain Speaking

   I went to see a really good singer songwriter type person called Adem a few days ago and they were supported by This is your Captain Speaking who were an excellent post rock band. Their songs were well over ten minutes each and sounded slightly like Pink Floyd or Relayer era Yes. What do you think of them? also i don't think they are in Prog Archives do you think they should be added?

	If you haven't heard them then you can hear some mp3s at this address http://www.sigur-ros.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=18809. The mp3s are about half way down the page

	Post Rock the genre or movement is not prog and has very little to do with it, but that does not mean a so called Post Rock band can not include influnce from the seventy's prog movement. As for including them in PA, they included Sigur Ros which is defintley not prog (do not make me explain that again) but they are listed here. If they sound like Pink floyd or Yes they probobly are not Post Rock anyway. By the way, Length of song, complexity etc. does not make something "prog" it is if they fit the seventy's movement struture and sound. Edited by reality - May 13 2006 at 17:55
