Thanks, both of you - I guess it makes sense that the authors of the tab determines the quality more than the particular site it's posted on!

Hey all,

The title kind of says it. I'm interested in recommendations based upon selection (obviously as a prog rock fan, availability of tabs for the well-known bands in the genre would be great...

So, in the public interest of maximizing compliance with the 20+ second hand-washing guidelines, let's generate a list very short prog songs (or memorable intros) to play in your head for timing...

Hmm... I don't see the Pawling (Daryl's House) show on their website.

We can't forget Matthew Parmenter from Discipline. His first two solo albums have some good Halloween darkness:

I don't know a lot of funk, but I do enjoy 102% by The New Mastersounds:

Storm Corrosion (Mikael Akerfeldt and Steven Wilson) works well for this week:


https://youtu.be/manW5v-AR7U

Of course, if that's too subtle, there's Devil Doll. I hadn't heard this album in...

Halloween is a week away! What's at the top of your playlist for spooky prog?

To start us off with a possibly unconventional choice, I was just listening to "Rockets Fall on Rocket Falls" by...

Same here. I just spent nearly an hour in live chat, and nothing worked. They refunded my purchase and gave me a credit so that I could re-order and try again, but I'm hesitant to invest the time if...

Has anyone heard anything about the album showing up for digital download on iTunes or Amazon?

I always thought that "Toys" by Frost* could've caught on with the right exposure.

Fair enough re: The Wake

I don't pay a great deal of attention to covers anymore but it's fine with me. I can't quite make out what the guy is doing, but it matches the album title (carrying on...

If I recall, there was an interview maybe a year ago with Peter Nicholls where he suggested that the next album would continue to develop the heavier sound that we heard on much of Road of Bones....

Just chiming in to say I haven't heard any Gong material since Expresso II, but decided to give this a listen. I'm very happy I did - this is good stuff right here. Purchased!

I'm not sure but to my ears, it sounds like Sacred Sound by IQ begins with a passage from Mozart's 41st symphony "Jupiter".

So glad they followed up the 3-song EP from 2016 with this full album (note that the EP has three of the tracks on the new album, though one is a somewhat different version).

I think that fans of...

I was surprised to find that there is actually a full track list on Wikipedia.

Here's hoping we may actually see this album in 2018!!

Got this re-release in the mail today and am happy as a clam to be listening to it on something other than YouTube. I dig Bass Communion, but love the more rhythm-heavy focus of these tunes.

...

Worth a listen:

A few weeks ago, I was surprised to learn that I actually know one of the members of the R&RHOF selection committee. She was excited when she saw the 3 album covers on my wall (Fragile, Animals,...

Stardust We Are. Like most FK albums, there's some filler, but the title track is wonderful and there's a 20-minute stretch on Disc 1 that I think is their very finest work.

For me, now I know that the line at the beginning of Apocalypse in 9/8 is NOT "666 is the number below"

I was in the 5th row of the Mezzanine center, and the low end (bass pedals, my friend thought) was throbbing so much it really cut through everything else and was hard to ignore. It was almost...

Excited about the New York City show. But my friend and I are actually worried about election night in terms of potential safety issues and related transportation difficulties, given the tenor of the...

Yes, thanks for pointing it out! Time to share with friends who might be inclined to like his stuff.

Going tonight to the opener in Albany!! :D

And trying my best to stay away from the spoiler posts...

Guess not... Oh well, it was worth checking!

I'll be in these two countries for part of July and wondered if folks knew of anything worth checking out during these dates:

July 8th-10th - Alsace region (Colmar, Strasbourg), France
July...

It's the sad, hopeless ones that often get me for some reason, despite the fact that they don't typically fit my own feelings. It often has to do with how it's sung as well, such as:

Marillion -...

Yes, very reasonable. I'm not going to sign up to get tickets early, but will be ordering for the opening show tomorrow and going with a friend.

How is The Egg for concerts, for those who have...

I didn't know about the movie project at the time the Kickstarter happened but I did pitch in afterward. I'm having a hard time getting a sense for how big this will end up being, but I'm very glad...

Has anyone heard any updates about this? The most recent blog post on the movie website is September 2013.

I like it too - I miss the crunch of earlier albums but I think this wouldv'e been one of the stronger tracks had it appeared on Heritage, so I'm excited for the full album.

I have two Cold Fairyland albums (Live at the ARK and Seeds on the Ground). The live album is heavier, both are worth a listen and include some traditional Chinese folk instrumentation. They're solid...

Hi,

Just learning the piano (well, I took lessons for 1.5 years as a kid many years ago), and wondering if anyone has stumbled upon a good source for sheet music (online or otherwise) that...

Hmm... I guess not. I'll just have to bring prog goodness and decent headphones with me, then!

Hey -

I'll be in Houston Wednesday through Sunday at a conference and want to make sure I don't miss any good prog on the off chance something's happening in the city and I can fit it into my...

Agreed. I really appreciate the honesty that Matthias has always displayed in keeping us informed about the band. All together, I feel that beauty, integrity, and tension are all good words to...

If you're talking about the super-short track on Epilog, I'd call that a "placeholder." By filler, I mean sub-par material, noticeably below what the artist is capable of creating. IMHO, there is not...

Just got the Guapo, haven't watched the DVD yet, but I'm digging the CD hard. Heavier and edgier than Elixirs (an album I do quite like) but by no means a re-hash of Five Suns or Black Oni. I had no...

Good to know, thanks!

There are many justifiable reasons, such as not wanting to invest the time given whatever other projects/work/life they individually have going on.

It also seems to me that their seemingly...

By Sunday, my group was already dreaming about a 2-DVD set entitled "Swedish Apocalypse" - Anglagard and GBS. :) I'd plunk down $50 for that product!

We can dream... I'd also love to see a DVD of...

Thanks, Chad! I'll keep my fingers crossed. :)

The title says it - there were some great performances I'd definitely like to watch again. Apologies if this question has been answered previously, but my search didn't turn anything up.

Thanks for the tip. Haven't seen SW or PT since NEARfest so I'm definitely going to the NYC show if I can. Hope we'll get lucky and there will either be seating or the show will start close to on...

Missed him the last time around and I absolutely love Grace for Drowning - definitely hoping to avoid that mistake this time. Looks like NYC for me.

Thanks for sharing, I've often wondered how he has been doing. So glad to hear the news is good!

Since I am not a member of Zealot's Lounge, two questions

1) Will this be a CD or electronic format?
2) I have a sinking feeling that only members of Zealots lounge can purchase it based on your...

Maybe not super-proggy, but King's X is an obvious example. Echolyn has occasionally had some Christian themes in their lyrics, especially early on.

Enjoyable song and video!
