It could be someone you just discovered or an old favorite you are revisiting. Lately for me it's been King Crimson & Marillion. How about you?

This year my greatest discovery is Roy Buchanan, his You're Not Alone. I'm not a great Blues Rock fan, but this album mixes that with Prog and Space Rock elements, and it's simply awesome. |

I was listening to a lot of Miles Davis - mostly the transitional band between the second great quintet and the electric period: But I picked up the Grateful Dead Pacific Northwest 1973-74 set (all with store credit!) so that's what I'm spinning the past three days:  |

Hi, For a joke, I am usually listening to things that PA rarely mentions ... yesterday it was the Sadistic Mika Band. And then some of the solo albums by Simon House ... it's just more interesting to me to hear something and not have to be influenced or twisted by someone else's opinion. ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

Other people’s opinions can be very damaging. I had believed those telling me the quality of Tangerine Dream’s albums declined steadily until becoming worthless at some point in the late 1980s and was trying to work out exactly when that was. Having bought a cheap 10 CD compilation a couple of months ago out of curiosity to see just how bad they were in the 1990s though I discovered they started to become interesting to me again around 1997 and have gone on to find many worthwhile albums from the the last 20 years. Maybe people will say they’re no longer “progressive electronic” but I happen to like drum machines, loops, techno, remixes and ambient and they fit in more with my “non-prog” collection. So what I am into now is this later Tangerine Dream. ------------- "There is nothing new except what has been forgotten" - Marie Antoinette |

I've been listening to a lot of Beatles lately. From early Beatlemania stuff like "Meet the Beatles" and "A Hard Day's Night" - soundtrack, to Sgt Pepper and The White Album. The other day I listened to the "Let It Be" album all the way through, very underrated in their catalogue imo. So yeah the Beatlemaniac in me has been coming out big time as of late lol. |

Yes, I noticed that. And also the songs are just really good, the obvious ones like the title track, Long and Winding Road, Across the Universe, Get Back.. but also stuff like One After 909, Dig a Pony, For You Blue, Two of Us. It's just a really good album to my ears. But then so much of their stuff is that it kind of gets lost in the shuffle I think.

As I made that transitional albums poll I ended up spinning
all those Miles Davis-records that sort of makes a bridge from his second great
quartet to the electric period. Namely Miles in the Sky, Filles De
Kilimanjaro + the later released Water Babies and other relevant
material such as: Circle in the Round, Water in the Pond, Teo's Bag, Side
Car, Splash... from different collections I own. Other than that i've been obsessing with bellydance music from the 1970's. Some of its just crazy awesome. If you like prog for its rhytmic complexities, virtuosity and stuff... or Secret Chiefs 3 there's really no reason this couldn't/shouldn't similarily blow your mind -------------

I'm one of those folks that likes to EXPERIENCE the music on his own ... opinions don't really matter and ideas neither. And, I guess, that you could say that I speak like that here, because I get tired of the pop comments by so many folks about their favorite guitarist ... geee, which girl has the best _____________??? It's not even about the person, or his/her art anymore ... it's just a preference! There are a lot of new things out there, and some older folks also doing some great work, that are not getting credit, because we pasted "progressive" to a bathroom wall in some john in the late 1960's and early 1970's ... and yeah ... it's hard to repeat "time" ... but music and the arts? A very different animal, and people today can do "progressive" as good, and better than yesterday ... but we think that Shakespeare (so to speak!) is the only writer for 300 years ... because no school or anyone reads anything else except pulp, or cheap commercial imitations of the real thing ... they sound good ... that's about it, but the vanity behind it is ... too much perfume ... sickening!

Basically the 'classic era' ended with Underwater Sunlight in 1986. However they came back strongly in the 00's especially with the Booster series. You are correct that there was a 10 year period when they wer not so good as Paul Haslinger and Chris Franke departed and it took time for Jerome Froese to bed in. The music did not become worthless. There was also the series of albums they made with opera singers that I strongly recommend including Purgatorio http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=116361" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=116361 http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=116361" rel="nofollow -

(... and to stay on topic, yes, I did go listen to a lot of NM and SB ... ) I have listened to both the albums and some of his earlier material. While I do not think, in general, that he is being a bit on the vain side of things, in some ways, I do think that his beliefs are getting in the way of the music, in that he has to tell the story as he sees fit, and it's not that bad, and yes, it is OK, but I think I would rather go read T. Lobsang Rampa, or the more occult writers of the past 100's of years, to find something that is more interesting and challenging, than being told that you are not doing it right, and we don't know what it is, because the heavens will open and the clouds will dump a lot of rain on us, if not thunder and lightening! ... it's all because ... I do not doubt his honesty, and his belief. I find it rather refreshing, considering how much lyrics in a lot of "progressive" bands, are so simplistic, boring and even insulting to anyone's intelligence. But, honestly, I don't think I would compare, the spirituality in TFTO against Neal's ... as one of these comes off as a weak Sunday preacher ... and the work he is quoting and singing about is far older than the book that Neal is singing about. In fact, Neal's book has a lot of copied moments from the older book, and is the worst news reporting ever done of a "supposed" event, and was "written", nearly 300 plus years after the event. Makes one think that Twitter is the only real news place!

| Hi, now I'm listening to bands from the Canterbury scene, particularly the Italians from Homunculus Res, who fuse everything, but that Italian vibe that gives them personality. And I also discovered Dan Britton, whose compositional complexity does not fall into the common places of neo-progressive bands that for me, at least, do not go beyond the instance of "influences". Dan has Birds & Buildings and Deluge Grander. |

Indeed that recent Homunculus Res album is delightful. Also check out Lumsk if you like 'personality' and warmth , their forth album called Fremmede Toner is lovely , incredibly 16 years after the 3rd album. Dan Britton, could do with more from him. I love Deluge Grander especially.

Well, a message four years late, but the Doors were my first favorite rock band mainly because I could understand Jim Morrison's accent and more importantly, there keyboard driven sound by Manzarek set them apart from other rock bands. Currently, I am listening to some Fela Kuti and Alquin, the latter have atleast two good prog rock records.
