Hi,
In another board .. someone called this stuff -- the progressive and experimental -- a bunch of "bleeps, bloops and flatulence" ...
I know that Roger Waters and Ron Geesin have abused the priviledge on one song ... but thought it highly unfair to call a lot of the stuff that we love so dearly ... by terms that better fit pop music and hit radio, than it would ever fit anything that we talk about in here! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

Oh, don't worry, someone who lives on my floor here at college claims that none of the stuff I listen to is music at all.

I fart in anyone's general direction with a large expellation of flatulent gas who thinks that calling something flatulent is really clever criticism, unless the music is actually composed or improvised with actual flatulism. I have not heard this stuff as far as I know, but I'm pretty sure my criticism is accurate. I'd recommend keeping to this site as our critical flatuism is of a much better quality. bleeps, bloop bleeps, bloop,bleeps, bloop. Oh dear, our critic has crapped his pants.  ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

whoa ... mindless criticism on the internet ... wait, I'm just getting up from being knowckd down. I can;t ecen spill progerly ... God only knows no one at PA has ever written anything remotely denigrating about other people's music. O.K., maybe a few , like &,$,%,,#@,!(,*,&,%,^, ... all names changed to protect me until I blow up real good. ------------- "Here I am talking to some of the smartest people in the world and I didn't even notice,” Lieutenant Columbo, episode The Bye-Bye Sky-High I.Q.

Meh, I ignore comments like this. I find prog easier to listen to than mindless Top 40 pop. I find THAT stuff difficult to listen to, totally fake and without artistic merit, and non-musical. ------------- Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while... |

There´s a guy out there right now getting famous for his rendition of Queen´s "Bohemian Rhapsody" played in hand-flatulens. If that isn´t prog what is? I am quite the melodic farter myself. I do a nice impression of the theme from "The good, the bad and the ugly". |

There was a French bloke who used to sing by farting. I can't for the life of me remember his name, but the late great Leonard Rossiter played him in a film. Unfortunately, he lived in the ages prior to prog, so covers of Floyd, Genesis et al to the sound of a reverberating fart were not available  ------------- Enhance your life.

That's not something we're really proud of... Now, we evolved and sing by belching. That's a bit classier. |

He was Joseph Pujol, known as Le Petomane (this was also the title of the excellent Rossiter film). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_P%C3%A9tomane - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_P%C3%A9tomane ------------- "The disgusting stink of a too-loud electric guitar....

I really want to play that between Staiway to Heaven and Layla! ... it should get a few hairs excited! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

| I seems that those folks don't like prog rock at all. I wonder what do they listen to and what makes them think is so good? the fact is, progressive music is only for peop[le who enjoy listening to music, music which is written to be carefuly and attentively listen to, not just a catchy tune to dance to. |
