Parallaxe is one of the two albums by the almost completely unknown contemporary French band of the same name; also it's one of the very few albums of this genre that I really like; I'm much more of a modern metal fan. ../album.asp?id=6577">

I've got some time to kill : Symphonic - Focus / Hamburger Concerto Ecclectic - Gnidrolog / In Spite Of Harry's Toenail Canterbbury - Caravan / If I could Do It All Over again I'd Do It All Over You RPI - Zeuhl - Folk - Jethro Tull/ Broadsword & The Beast Psychedelic/Space - Hawkwind / Warrior On The Edge Of Time Prog Related - Black Sabbath / Sabbath Bloody Sabbath RIO/Avant - Jazz Fusion - Spaced Out / Slow Gin Heavy Prog - Uriah Heep / Wizards Krautrock - Guru Guru / UFO To be honest I've never really understood all these sub-genres and had to open up another screen to do this. I left a few blank because I could never really get into bands like Magma and all that other esoteric stuff. Italian prog escapes me. tried but never could get into it. Always saw it as second rate, copying UK prog bands. Did I offend anyone? Seems to be a lot of that going around lately. ------------- |
