Prog in Your Face - Progressive Rock Music Forum

The one that comes to mind if I'm understanding the "in your face" correctly(even though I haven't heard it in a long time)is nucleus by Anekdoten.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Keep them coming if you have more.

Really good to get some from East Europe as I am not at all familiar. There definitely seems to be a rich history. I will need listen and see what I can get hold of through Amazon Music Unlimited. A few of these are there!

The Magma suggestions are appreciated. I had never really listened to much before.

The RIO/Avant suggestions are also appreciated. It's not a genre I know much of. I have liked various artists in the past but never really delved in. I am putting a Yowie track on my playlist. I think these (RIO/avant music) need to be mixed in with other types of tracks for the plane ride. I have to be careful that I don't doze off and wake up screaming in the middle of a track.

I am not flying out until Friday, so that'll give me time to update my playlist.

hah.. that cover of the Fripp Sylvian album still gives me nightmares when I think of it.. much less grab it to pop in the player. His is the face of evil man.. pure evil...

I have my playlist started. 20 songs, clocking in at around 2 hr 40 min. I am not sure about the sequence and some songs may go. I am still looking for recommendations. This it so far:

Il Balletto di Bronzo - Introduzione

thread win for you.... nothing more in your face musically than being beat over the head with a 2x4.

I'm thinking more Flying Luttenbachers, or Upsilon Acrux, you guys are picking stuff that's way too gentle.

How about Yowie - Synchromysticism:

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Samla Mannas Manna - "Dundrets Fröjder"
Magma - "Iss Lansei Doia"
Van der Graaf Generator - "Darkness"
Area - "MIRage? Mirage!"
Gentle Giant - "The Moon is Down" and "So Sincere"

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.

Off the top of my head, examples could include "Generale!" by PFM, "Ace Of Wands" by Steve Hackett, "Neurotica" by King Crimson, "Sound Chaser" by Yes, "Cogs In Cogs" by Gentle Giant and "Brujo" by Area. Perhaps also "Nekomajin vs" by Nuito if you have a tolerance for math rock Wink

Or The Residents.
