Jazz has been my favorite genre of music to perform and listen to for years. A friend of mine thought that I'd really like Soft Machine upon listening to them. So, I listened to pic related, and this is what I got: a band that can establish a groove, but sometimes has difficulties transitioning from one major idea to another. Additionally, I don't think these guys are the technical wizards that my friend said they were, but I was impressed by a lot of the drummer's playing.

>>48863443
They're a band dude. Any Prog to be honest, I like Gentle Giant and Focus.

I can't stop listening to Yes

You might like Henry Cow's first album then. Similar sound, but with less vocals and even better drumming (imo).

Here's a post from the archive
"The Henry Cow Legend.

Already listened to the full album like 7 times, and songs like Nirvana for Mice and Teenbeat like 12 in less than two weeks. That album is just so comfy I want to listen to it all the time.
It also predicted "Post-Rock" 20 years before Post-Rock was even a thing.
For fans of Soft Machine, Zappa's Uncle Meat and comfy Jazz-Rock.
Here is a sample

Those drums a little bit past the minute mark are pretty rad.

It's not considered prog, but have you listened to any of the pieces by Brian Ferneyhough? I got into him a few weeks ago, and a lot of his pieces just feel so demanding from the performer, and I really liked them.

>>48863559
>Yes makes some of the most beautiful melodies I have heard.
They have some frustratingly catchy hooks. What I really like about them though is the sheer fluidity of their playing. I like to think of them as the English version of Can, not stylistically or ideologically but in terms of their band mechanic.

I honestly think Scaruffi does a really good job of describing Yes's music.
>If the fusion [of genres] was not unique, the glacial composure certainly was: Yes albums sounded more like scientific experiments than party music. The Yes Album (1971) introduced their schizophrenia: Yours Is No Disgrace and Starship Trooper went for strenuous instrumental bravura, while I've Seen All Good People revolved around a catchy refrain. The virtuoso performers (particularly drummer Bill Bruford and keyboardist Rick Wakeman) achieved a sublime degree of balance on Fragile (1971), whose Roundabout, South Side Of The Sky and Heart Of The Sunrise flowed like clockwork mechanisms. The apex of the Yes' apparent contradiction (a style that was both frigid and romantic) was reached on Close To The Edge (1972), whose Close To The Edge and And I And You were lengthy, complex and densely chromatic fantasias, and the very definition of "art-rock".

>>48863760
His pieces seem to be all about the composer's control over the performers. Like, the rhythms and accents aren't really left open to any interpretation.

Yeah, something that I really like about some of their songs is how they sound like a clockwork, but very freely, like water sometimes, at the same time.

>>48863912
I have heard that Atomic Rooster has a similar sound and it's even from an earlier era, so maybe check them out.

>>48863906
No. Check those
Pak, Grumpf Quartet, Make a Rising, Koenjihyakkei, Blast, Mars Volta, Rich Woodson's Ellipsis, Alamaailman Vasarat, and Harpy.
All from this millenium, very varied and original, and of good quality.

I'm glad you like them.
Keep in mind all of those are very different to each other, but at the same time considered Prog.

>>48863865
It has to do with the vocals, and how Anderson's not really a "lead" vocalist, but a singer who contributes their voice to the overall music, like Mooney or Suzuki.

>>48863984
Not GJ, but I just wanted to interject and say they've had some of the best drummers I've ever witnessed or heard of. Omars mixture of frivolity and dictation with his songwriting gives it an endearing uniqueness, even if clumsy and wanky at times. Cedric comes up with the most bizarre and drugged out lyrics that mean nothing only half the time, but are genius the other half. I feel like he's pretty honest about it and has a good sense of humor, while his melodies are on point literally 99.9% of the time.

I'm not sure how the composer intended his piece to be enjoyed. I like Ferneyhough's usage of rhythm though. He's capable of being sparse at times and extremely busy at others, but despite these shifts it feels like he's mastered flow, at least for his arrangements.

Thank you for your recs, man. I've enjoyed them.

>>48864346
Well, it has been keeping me interested for more than 20 minutes, and I'm already downloading it.
Maybe that Quartet has some hidden trasures that reveal over time. Who knows?
And yes, the rhythms and dynamics are great. It reminds me to this too, but it's less chaotic. Also, best crescendo ever at the end.

I just finished listening to this. The longer, jammier tracks like "God Took a Picture...", "Escaped and Lost..." and "Ganagmanag" were really great, but the other more straightforward pop tracks were pretty boring and a little grating.

Do they have anything more in the vein of those three long tracks, or should I be listening to a different band?

Was going to post in the Bandcamp thread, but this seems more relevant.

One of my bands is releasing a prog rock album very soon (today or tomorrow). There's some noodley jazz, ambient, noise rock and doomy riffs.

Just put out this live video the other day:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EENNonLuho

>ctrl+f VDGG
>ctrl+f Van Der Graaf
>no results

Come on guys, step it up. Pawn Hearts is easily a top 10 Progressive Rock album, and the rest of their catalog is consistently excellent as well.

Camel are great too. Not legendary or anything, but Mirage is a strong release.

No ELP either, as usual. Never seems to be any love for them.

>>48863397
>>48864793
Both very solid albums.

You guys should check out Illumination Theory and The Looking Glass from Dream Theater's latest album.

Post Youtube links!

hi mister math god,

a week ago you recommended me to listen to Make a Rising based on what i posted in a chart thread

I quite liked it, it's like AnCo mixed with Can and Yes, but nothing really stood out to me. is this an album that should 'click' or should i wait until band reaches their perfect sound?

>>48863758
Yes - Close to the Edge
Gentle Giant - Acquiring the Taste
Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells
Van Der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts

>>48864041
i want to see this too

Attention /mu/!!!


I once saw an album at a thrift shop that had an overall light blue colour with objects painted in it, one of which is a pack of cigarettes.

I don't remember the name but i'm almost certain that t was prog.

Can anyone help me?

>>48867207
>is this an album that should 'click'
Definitely. You should at least get chills when listening to the Boatride song.
>or should i wait until band reaches their perfect sound?
That album was their Best, and is probably going to be unmatched.

>>48867326
Be more specific if you can.

>>48867347
I can't really remember more of it and i'm afraid to be specific because i might give the wrong impression. it may has wel been a giant wave on the cover, with a pack of marlboro's on it


i do remember one thing though. the name sounded japanese to me

>>48866703
Think so? I felt that with all the tempo changes & chord changes it would fall more under prog rock.

who /progarchives/ here?

that site is honestly the best place ive found for prog besides actual record stores.
the only drawback is that its like reddit, the most popular records get reviewed the most so its hard to find obscure gems. but they're worth finding on that site.


love Canterbury Scene.

>>48867690
me but people here hate it

>>48867690
I do occasionally, but never to find things, always to learn more about albums I know.

Steve Hillage was the first progressive rock I ever heard, still have the original Green vinyl from my childhood.

>>48867706
why do people here hate it? ive been here for a few years already and dont recall any hate.
is it bc Selling England by the Pound and Close to the Edge are top 5?

>>48867690
That site is pretty bad, imo. Especially the rating system. But it has some nice features too, like the best albums with few ratings. Try gnosis2000. That site is pretty good, and it's a lot more updated to wghat it seems to be.
Their forums are cool it seems

>>48867759
holy shit thanks so much for that site. looks like ill be using it a lot.

Bands/Musicians I'm currently in love with:
Opeth
GG
Haken
Yes
Steven Wilson

If anyone can rec something similar to any of these (emphasis on Opeth and GG) I'd be eternally grateful. I know many of the well-known prog bands so, y'know, don't rec Dream Theater or Camel.

Not sure if serious... Listen to the album in OPs picture if serious (Yes - Fragile). Then you'll have an idea what prog(ressive) is. It is, however, a very expansive genre with many sub-genres.

If not serious, fuck you.

This can be very subjective, but for me it's Rock with "more elements". For example, different time signatures, instruments, multiple sections, complex chord progressions, or anything like that.

Oh, well. Still, I feel that, if you consider Post Rock a real genre, it would have started with the RIO bands.

What chart? If it's the essential it was under 70s

>And i like that 7 idiots is there, amazing album.
I'm glad you like it!
>But i feel that prog rock is an extremely vague genre.
That's how it should be, imo. You also have the different sub-genres to describe them better.

Tipographica - God Says I Can't Dance
Il Berlione - s/t
Harpy - Speech on the Radio

>>48868967
Yes the boredoms album, it's not prog rock, but it's pretty progressive. I have a huge bias towards it though, as it was the album that got me into experimental and avant garde music.
But definitely check out LSD March (under milk wood is great) and AMT if you want some amazing (progressive) psych rock

Rishloo and Karnivool

>>48872352

*tips fedora*

>>48872352
Bats - Red In Tooth and Claw
It's Post-Hardcore with weird time signatures, but it has a very similar sound imo.

No, it lacks the things that make Yes truly remarkable IMO (namely Wakeman's arrangement of the material). The eponymous track is one of my faves though.

>>48871824
>If you like progressive jazz and fusion you must be aware of these gems

Nah, your list is okay. Be sure to check the ones I mentioned too though. Those are also gems.
Also, Szobel is fucking great!

>>48872595
It definetly shows off what the band was in their formative years, before their next album "The Yes Album" made them huge and popular. BUT I still think it is an amazing album, and I'm always sad that it is frequently over-looked. I think it has a more scifi, more psychedelic sound than most of their albums. That's what appeals to me the most I guess.

Is Zolo a real genre?

Samsara Blues Experiment - Long Distance Trip

So, Prog Rock is not dead.

He's the guitarist for Genesis.

Shadow of the heirophant is decent, look that song up.

>>48875194
Symphonic classic-style prog with loads of instrumentals. He was the Genesis guitarist so of course he has a bit of a Genesis sound, but on Voyage of the Acolyte at least he sounds more like early King Crimson with the harder sound.

It was Yowie!, I had it misspelled in my chart.

>>48875396
Oh, okay then.
That album is good, but very difficult. So, if you don't get it at first (which you most likely won't), listen to it another day again.

Please people I am dying, I can't find a (free) download link for the Moon Safari (Blomljud) recommended before. I listened to it in bandcamp and was great.

Please welp, anyone willing to share it?

>>48875466
If you paid attention to what else was in that sheet, you'd find that I can handle that sorta thing no problem.

>>48875679
I did see some difficult stuff from your list, but this is even more difficult. It's by far, together with another album, the most difficult and challenging albums I have ever heard.
That one makes Trout Mask Replica sound like Early Beatles.

>>48863362
Any proggy punk-rock in the vein of Pere Ubu and This Heat? Or for that matter, any punky prog-rock?

Is Nomeansno prog-punk, or just very complex hardcore?

Punk with complex rhythms.

Honestly, I have no idea. I don't listen a lot of that stuff, but it just sounds like it.
I don't think it really related to prog though.

he doesn't use that specific horn sound much in his other material, but the sort of somber mood can be found scattered throughout, like near the end of Megaritual ("Dispanec Triage"), in Solar Gambling ("Los Tentáculos De La Libélula"), in Se Dice Bisonte No Bufalo ("Thermometer Drinking the Bussness of Turnstiles", "Lurking About In A Cold Sweat (Held Together by Venom)"), on Calibration ("Cortar El Cuello"). It might not be exactly what you're looking for, but i REALLY suggest you give these a shot, they're great moments in these albums (which are themselves great journeys if you ask me)

Dude, you are crazy to say there have been no good prog releases lately.
Animals as Leaders, IQ, Mastodon, Sleep Party People, Haken, Leprous, Birds and Buildings, Nemrud, The Psychedelic Ensemble, Riverside, Scale the Summit, Steven Wilson and United Bible Studies have all created great albums this year and last.
Anathema, Astra, Echolyn, The Flower Kings, Kayo Dot, Marillion, Motorpsycho, and The National Orchestra of the United Kingdom of Goats have made great albums in 2012.
Not to mention the debut albums made from Perfect Beings, Pervy Perkin, Telepathy and Pomegranate Tiger in 2013/14.
I hope this list gives you some awesome new prog to listen to

I'm not an expert on prog at all, but I think that Electric Moon is the best modern prog I've ever heard.
