Hours of Wealth in Contemporary Prog, criteria:
1. List some albums.
2. The main point is that this album should make you feel like there's a world of progressive rock music within, after you hear this one album you feel like you've heard five.
3. Album must be released after 1999. At the same time, it brings you the good memories of 70s prog because there's a world of progressive rock music within.
4. Album is at least 60 minutes long (an hour of wealth).
My choices:
1. http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1122" rel="nofollow - Opeth - http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=8133" rel="nofollow - Ghost Reveries
Metal meets 70s symphonic prog! The mellotron flows so subtly yet so clearly. A wealth of diverse material here. Great dynamic range.
2. http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=2926" rel="nofollow - Negura Bunget - http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=14969" rel="nofollow - Om A wealth of folk instruments, prog folk meets black metal! Also got great dynamic range with hypnotic ambient passages. Godlike. -------------

          Sorry, writing about this music is too much like dancing about architecture. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Devin Townsend- Terria: This album really takes you somewhere. There are so many genres and layers within that it's possible to hear something new every single time I listen to it. Ayreon- The Human Equation: Good God man, there's too much cheese! Despite this, I am constantly amazed by Arjen's achievement. Tool- Lateralus: Yeah, maybe not 'prog' but it's definitely progressive. I only discovered it recently but the sheer length of the album and its mystical overtones really make it a rich album. Opeth- Blackwater Park: One of the first prog albums I bought, and damn, it's a masterpiece. It's hard to find the exact words to describe its majesty, other than that every song tells a unique story, yet plays a role in the makeup of the record. /gush -------------

[/QUOTE] Funny how the two that I really like don't have groups or titles on them. You should clue people in. :) -------------

Devin Townsend (if I were to pick only one) - Terria Ayreon (if I were to pick only one) - The Human Equation Pain of Salvation (if I were to pick only one) - Perfect Element, part 1 Opeth (if I were to pick only one) - Blackwater Park Death - Sounds of Perseverance Cynic - Focus Radiohead - Kid A maudlin of the Well - Bath/Leaving Your body Map (And Part the Second, too, dammit) Riverside - Second Life Syndrome I didn't follow the 'hour' part. It's too much trouble for me, and I prefer shorter albums to longer, usually. |
