Greetings from an isolated rural area of Ireland!
Having a look around this site one question comes to mind: "What have I got myself into?"
Some seriously nerdy stuff going on in here - but in a good way! I suppose my route to prog began via a combination of interest in art rock (Bowie, Roxy Music, Talking heads etc) and the fringes of metal/thrash metal. For any music fan, the ubiquity of some bands makes their influence unavoidable anyway - e.g. Floyd, Zeppelin - which may inevitably lead to prog too. Also, Killing Joke (who I have always been into) could arguably be described as prog punk maybe?!
Voivod though (circa Dimension Hatross & Nothingface) were the band that really started my interest and prompted me to investigate King Crimson & a few others. Not so much into (what I would see as) the more indulgent muso stuff generally and prefer keyboards to kept to a minimum.
My intention is to find more stuff that sounds like Red era King Crimson - and to continue to inject my own compositions with a healthy dash of prog.
Great site!!!
