Say whatever sophmoric stuff you want, but that Paternoster album with its Christian lyrics is by far one of the top five obscure prog gems from the early 70s in many people's books.

Cohen famously called himself a "Judeo-Christian" when it wasn't fashionable to do so. I'm not sure what he is now. |

I have no clue what Christian Prog is, unless it's prog with Christian religious lyrics. Not a genre, as far as I'm concerned.

This sounds very intriguing to me, what is the name of the
cd? Exceptional music coupled with thought provoking cosmic
lyrics can be transcendental for me.
This is why I adore Close to the Edge. |

Lyrics intentionally stagnant in unchangeable orthodoxy for example. I see, that my "definition" is silly, it is joke only - for me is not important take phenomen CPR as drama in prog-rock scene

What are non-progressive lyrics? As far as I know, you can write lyrics about whatever you want and still be progressive rock.

Back to question: What is "Christian Prog or CPR"?
CPR is not genre (for me personally ), but it is strange combination of progressive music and nonprogressive lyrics (Christian oriented here, although some playing only with Christian symbols and themes not fits, must to be deadly serious intended) |

. I did not manage to let a CD player spin in reverse yet. So the laser fails not less than the needle. However, a needle can do more damage, as Neil Young stated 13 years before the launching of the first CD player (). But if there are divine revelations, they may be laid bare in an easy way with a freeware sound program called Audacity. I use this for uploading sermons and services on the internet. And if any preacher dares to accuse non-Christian musicians of intentional implementation of messages, I'll put his sermon on the internet in reverse .

to be honest I do not relate much music to religion not even lyrics with God mentioned in it like: Roger Waters - What God Wants, Pt. 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtq1_peTXbwAmazing Grace too for instance makes me feel emotional yet I still not necessary think of Church when I hear that song. xxxxx

Really? His disciples seemed fairly convinced. I did wonder at the lack of divine revelations when CD technology was blessed upon us. Playing those things backwards was hell on the needle. |

IMO Neal Morse can't make a genre (as everyone) with Content of Lyrics. We talk about music not about lyrics. This (examples like Neal Morse etc) show me genre called Christian Prog doesn't exist !! Neal Morse can "Publish" his lyrics as a book for his Christian fans. Vocal and lyrics is small part (IMO) of Progressive Rock music and we already talked about that .
