Vitalski: It's an obvious answer but do you have Yes' Fragile? The second side is a goldmine. Side 2 opens with the first drum and bass track evah! Also check out the intro to "Heart of the Sunrise" and "The Fish" and the basslines to "Long Distance Runaround" and "Roundabout". Neil Peart is another obvious choice.
I find Inner Mounting Flame more or less unlistenable once I got past how virtuosic it is.

Return to Forever (w/diMeola), for ex., sounds more like emotionless showmanship to me. Fun in some ways, in no way deep like Mahavishnu.

I saw them in Lowell at the Paul Tsongas Arena last weekend (the last gig of this leg of their tour; I think the one right after MSG), which they were videotaping I believe for a PBS special and later a DVD release. They played The Beatles' "Every Little Thing" (an early cover of theirs, but very much revamped) as an encore instead of "Soon", plus "Starship Trooper" as the final closer. Great versions of "And You and I", "Ritual", "Turn of the Century"...
Minuses: They did a shuffle-blues acoustic version of "Roundabout" (like Clapton did for "Layla" on his Unplugged)--sounds too cheezy to me. Dean's inflatable set looked very (ahem) Stonehenge like.
That aside, I continue to be amazed at what a great show these guys still put on, since they're all like 55-60 years old. Plus, the a/c that night was non-existent, so it was like 85-90 degrees on stage the entire time for them.

An hour of archive footage with what seem to be Steve Wright penned glib captions, followed by the docu, in which Rick Wakeman will no doubt be aloowed to drone on.
Pretty entertaining so far though!

^^ that record just got reissued. I think all of IQ's albums are good (even the Paul Menel ones have their charms) but yeah The Wake is something special, neo-prog that actually rocks
got to DJ another prog set last night, this time I broke out some Magma and Area. I think it actually scared one of the bartenders because she told me afterwards "some of that music gave me a lot of anxiety"

I have the ridiculous 3 or 4 disc edition from years ago, seemed like the ultimate incarnation and someone asked in the dvd feature if it would be the last version and the singer said "until the next one". Is it just the same version?

free tip for all the prog DJs out there when a tune has a long outro play the beginning of In Search of the Lost Chord over it, as soon as the poem ends and the drum kicks in for "Ride My Seesaw" hit the fader, its like a bolt of lightning

Did you just let it play then?
― sawdust lagoon, Friday, 8 March 2024 16:23 (two weeks ago) link
oh absolutely, it's a killer tune. think I got a good balance this time between prog epics everyone knows - Karn Evil 9, Yours is No Disgrace, Dance on a Volcano, etc., and my own esoteric stuff. but I think the key is to drop a lot of cool 3-minute psych songs in the middle of all that. I think I played 3 Dukes of Stratosphear tunes but there are lots of great ones for this. Brief Candles by the Zombies, Round and Round by Strawbs, Inside by Jethro Tull, and so on. also played "La Mela di Odessa" by Area as recommended above since I did need to get some funk in. also let me segue into Magma quite nicely. the guy who usually does this hates Magma but guess what?? he wasn't there so tough luck
― frogbs, Friday, 8 March 2024 16:28 (two weeks ago) link
I also brought Deluxe by Harmonia and I think played 4 different bits of it...but only like a minute or two at a time. makes a really nice transition piece!

that sounds cool - always looking for neat modern stuff like this. its a good feeling when someone comes up and is like "what is this?". amusingly when I played "Gallarde" by Trace someone asked "is this Focus?" - it's a different kind of music but it has the same drummer and somehow he recognized it. so that was cool.
― frogbs, Friday, 8 March 2024 18:11 (two weeks ago) link
unfortunately I'm not sure when I'm doing this again since the normal guy is getting around a lot better. so he may retake the throne next month. I made sure to adjust my set accordingly, I think I got like 50 different tracks in there at some point

new elbow album (audio vertigo) is allegedly proggy, maybe harkening to crane wife / "tain": "Self-confessed Genesis fans, this influence comes across very clearly in 'Her to the Earth', where even the mix on Garvey’s voice (and female backing vocals – Ella Hohnen-Ford, Kianja and Eliza Oakes) would impress Mr Gabriel. It’s a real departure for them and, even for someone who shudders at the very notion of Genesis, a blinding success"
https://theartsdesk.com/new-music/album-elbow-audio-vertigo
also impending decemberists (double!) album has a sidelong epic suite that progresses from beach boys harmonies through a long floyd stretch into finally a balls out iron maiden gallop

it's not, it's another real snoozer based on my one listen. I dunno, I loved this band up through Take Off and Landing but everything since has done very little for me.

Ugh, that's a bummer, but makes sense. I've found them to be pretty snoozy for awhile now.
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 22 March 2024 14:25 (six days ago) link
It's got more life to it than the previous album but that's a low bar. (I'm pretty much with akm but liked Giants of All Sizes too).
Also worth noting that a couple of years ago their keyboard player mostly turned his Twitter over to transphobia before abruptly deleting his account.
― Iain Mew (if), Saturday, 23 March 2024 06:43 (five days ago) link
I did give it a more fair listen last night and agree that it is less snoozy than the previous two records. It doesn't hit the highs of everything through Take off and Landing, but it's not terrible. I don't know that I'd call it extremely proggy though, despite them naming a song Lover's Leap. But they don't shy away from the genre the way they did early on (I swear I read somewhere that Elbow, when starting out, actually played a Marillion Weekend, but have been unable to find that documented anywhere, like they buried it after getting signed and told it was uncool).
