“Remember, if it doesn't say "Cuneiform," it's not prog!” - THE Jed Levin
Any time any one speaks to me about any musical project, the one absolute given is "it will not make big money". [tip of the hat to HK]
"Death to false 'support the scene' prog!"
please add 'imo' wherever you like, to avoid offending those easily offended.

RIP.
"please do not understand me too quickly"-andre gide
Condolences to his family. He was a pioneer in the promotion of avant garde music in the '60s. Rest in peace.
Wow this guy was the real deal. This discography is really outrageous. RIP my friend.

And that debut Pearls Before Swine... Man, was he daring.
"Improvisation is not an excuse for musical laziness" - Fred Frith
"[...] things that we never dreamed of doing in Crimson or in any band that I've been in," - Tony Levin speaking of SGM
In my younger years, ESP DISKs always seemed to be hard to find, but if I found one, it was guaranteed to be out-of-the-ordinary and very good. If an artist had even one album on ESP, it was an artist worth taking note of. Rest in peace, Mr. Stollman. Thanks for making odd music and free jazz and space jazz available to us fans.
We're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
It won't be visible through the air
And there won't be any shade to cool the monument to prove that we were here. - Gene Parsons, 1973
Oh, man. :-(
What a list he had: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESP-Disk_discography
I have 44 of these.
I'm not lazy. I just work so fast I'm always done.
