Hi! Yes, The Organ is online only but posting at least a couple of times a week, if not more... http://organthing.com
Hi, proggers!
Nice to be back on this epic thing, and delighted at the persistance of Prog Ears. I guess we really are rollin' a bit now.
I used to post about my weekly Resonance 104.4FM...
Have we got 6 people answering yet?:)
Zs are now the most hard-boiled of the Brooklyn avant-progressive scene/ peer group/ thing. The early albums has the influence of Charlie Looker adding those...
Hubardo is ASTONISHING. The sample tracks only hint at its riches. One of the greatest progressive albums of all time. Very little cookie monstering, much VDGG /Plague Of Lighthouse Keeping.
...
Thanks Kavus and Peter. To be fair to both an up and coming generation, and people outside of the UK, as time goes on it gets harder to envisage the weirdness and stagnation of the music industry in...
That's harsh. They have never 'played a game' with releasing the music, but, frankly, battled to get it made and battled to get it out there.
Cardiacs were pretty much forced to be a total DIY...
Maybe this one? If just for its total uniqueness... just when you think they've reached all their peaks, out comes Guns, and this track:

Love trying to explain to people who weren't born then just how wild-west Usenet was... I couldn't believe what I was reading at first. Slowly worked out that there was this thing called...
Feel lucky to see them in London not long ago - fantastic gig.
Sleep Is Wrong - Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
This is what Cardiacs were like when I first saw them... I guess this was a few months before the best gig of my life (Croydon Underground, 1985) and I was blown away finding these on youTube...
Sparks meets Hammill on this one, if you ask me. https://soundcloud.com/theblueship/the-breathing-world
I love the vocals and the whole over-the-top preposterousness of it. It's not like you...
The Blue Ship...
Hard to say anything about this band without sounding a bit over the top...
They're from Glasgow, they're pretty new... best to just listen....
Hi - I produce and host a show on London's Resonance 04.4 FM called The Other Rock Show. Now in its 10th year, the ORS is an hour of music that goes beyond standard song structures - regulars include...
Nope, you get three songs, including the epic! http://www.knifeworld.co.uk/?p=17
I've been trying to track down music from atypical countries just because it's hard enough to keep a prog band going in the UK/US/Europe, so imagine what it's like for a kid in Cameroon or Pakistan...
Zs are great... highly recommended live (let's hope they're back in the UK soon).
Talking of UK gigs -
London band Poino are on tour in the UK at the moment - REALLY worth seeing (there's a free...
'Glue Works' is fantastic, a magical album. It has atmosphere and heart. I always get enthusiastic feedback from listeners whenever I play it on my show, more than any other band. It's hard to put...
The very first Other Rock Show-affiliated gig !
January 10th, 2013 – Thumpermonkey, Quadrilles and Honey Ride Me A Goat
These three UK based bands represent a full spectrum of avant-progressive...
Yes - they really have had a terrible time of it lately, and I haven't seen many people aware of it!
Here's the playlist from the last show of the year - with direct links below to all the bands (the majority to their free download or streaming resources)....
They seem to get better with every listen. I think a lot of people who don't enjoy the heavier side of things will still get a lot of pleasure from some of their subtler tracks on In Glorious Times,...
I would if I could!
I didn't know about this! Have known and written about Ozrics since the mid 80s.... Damn... off to find out more...
Lol - Asia and geekery in one package, what's not to like?
They contacted me a few days ago - sadly missing the last Other Rock Show of the year (just as well, I would have just filled the whole hour with them)
Thank you, Matt (and Google Translate), for...
Is there anyone else here who can't help hearing the voice of Yoda when they read that title?
Interesting!
I was lucky to see his show with Charles Heyward at the Serpentine Gallery a few years ago. A set each from Heyward and Yoshida, and a dual improv to finish!
No, it's a bacteria. It comes in lots of varieties, most of which are harmless and even needed in the human gut, but there are some which are nasty. When people talk about getting E. Coli as a...
They say in their facebook page that one of the musicians has hurt a hand, so Progmas is cancelled this year - but they've working on their 'proper' album (which will hopefully be as good as some of...
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - FC The Freedom Club

The Body Is True,...
New Soundcloud for this week is up! (last week is coming soon; tech glitch didn't auto-record it) http://otherrockshow.wordpress.com/
Deadly! Will now revisit Angel Rat. And Birth Control. (Don't worry, I'm not expecting too much... just curious :D )
Loving that 'Freeways' track. Reminds me of Clock DVA. None, none more 80s!
See, this is EXACTLY why I hang out here.
Top info!
I've stuck a bunch of early Ruins vids on here: http://otherrockshow.wordpress.com/category/bandcomposer/ruins/
Will never forget the day Burning Stone dropped through the door for review...

Lol! Winner of this year's 'Once A Prog, Always A Prog' award
...though, listening to the album via YouTube... maybe not.
Exactly!
:D
Lot of prog mentions in this interview with Ivan: http://www.innerviews.org/inner/menwithouthats.html
Oi! Don't dis the Safety Dance - this was all us kiddies had to cling to in the 80s before we discovered Marillion

What's this? a prog cruise? Seriously?
lol... but oh, it's so nice for our fragile egos to see something like a wee badge of honour. I know there's going to be and everyone wanting this tweak and wanting that but... pleeese? :p
Only one question? There should be an thorough EXAM with grades before the general public are allowed into our hallowed halls. Keep out the riff-raff.
