The thread has gone off-topic because none of us are quite sure what the topic is supposed to be about, other than a cryptic reference to a chess endgame. Smile

Thank you Captain Obvious, Sir!
My pleasure. Glad to be of service. Tongue

the OP hasn't come back to check out his own thread, it's all confusing. Confused
If it becomes a funny thread, it needs to be moved elsewhere.

The OP did come back and confirmed that the thread is exactly what was assumed by those who understood it to begin with.

Paul then went on a rampage of misdirection and irrelevance, as he is wont to do.

so are we talking about our prog journey, with what artists we started and what are listening to these days? Or have I misunderstood yet again? LOL

Yes, it would appear you have. But I’m really not sure how to explain it better.
You fall down a rabbit hole of prog. What’s at the bottom?

As per my original reply (which, from memory, was the very first reply to the OP), I have never experienced just one rabbit hole, and there are always more rabbit holes for me to explore. So I could list off different albums from the bottom of different holes.

I guess another analogy could be an iceberg. The most obvious and well known artists and albums we listen to are the tip of the iceberg, that can be seen above the waterline. These aren’t particularly obscure (except for the fact that prog is fairly obscure compared to most mainstream fare). But dive below the surface, and you get the less well-known stuff. The further below the waves you get, the more obscure the artist and album are. The base of the iceberg, deep beneath the surface of the ocean is what the OP has called his “endgame” - that which exists at the bottom of the rabbit hole.

 How about Ian Boddy's deep Dark Descent into the abyss (from the album "The Deep"), which is a whole lot  deeper than any rabbit hole. Smile

Can this be the "endgame" that is being talked about here? LOL

A man playing chess with death is a monumental painting in Täby Church located just outside Stockholm, Sweden. It was painted around 1480–1490 CE, by the Swedish medieval painter Albertus Pictor. The motiff is nearly unique, only seen one other time in contemporary art. FWk-P4-UTa-UAAefr7

Ingmar Bergman's famous movie "The Seventh Seal" was inspired by this picture.

I love this picture. Death playing chess is a common motif in medieval times; see for example this picture which is attributed to Israel van Meckinem:



his name was originally "Albrekht Ymmenhusen", or just "Albrehkt" because family names were uncommon back then. what was added to the name to distinguish between several persons of a given name was either the profession or the location; in this case the location. this is the historic reason why so many family names are also names of professions, like "Smith", "Tailor", "Hunter", "Cook" or "Fisher". later his name was changed to "Albertus Pictor". "pictor" is Latin for "painter", so he was "Albert the painter".

when I studied history and specialized in ancient I had to take courses in Latin and ancient Greek.

No. But if a thread in the music forum gets only off-topicness and a lot of joking, it's going to get moved in the "just for fun" section.

Interesting question.
I broadly believe that Gentle Giant is a kind of prog last frontier... difficult to get into.
For sure you are looking for things below in the rabbit hole...

In this list there is a lot of things you may want to try:
https://rateyourmusic.com/list/floflo79/obscure_and_forgotten_progressive_rock_gems__in_progress_/

If you ask for my personal top list...

1. Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom
2. Museo Rosenbach - Zarathustra
3. Needlepoint - Walking up that Valley

I hope this makes sense. 

Hi,

Sometimes, however, for me, there is no "rabbit hole" and there is no "bottom" anywhere in life or the world, since we know that music has existed for hundreds, and indeed thousands of years! Favorites and Rabbit holes come and go ... and then we all think of Michelangelo!

Nothing new under the stone of an idea!Wink
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
