Garcia, Zappa, now Emerson.... the best are gone. tears in my eyes.... Emerson was my first hero...
At the Cliffs of the River Rhine.
something to be said for this...
deep sadness here...
I'm quoting greg walker here - "As most of you know, Francesco was the closest thing that prog had to Pavarotti. He fronted the greatest Italian 70's prog band and his amazing voice and stage...
genius. legend. everyone should take tomorrow and listen to his discography. you probably already know a lot of it...
while sad, this is probably a great time to celebrate what he's done.
...
definitely worth it. but I'm a homer anyway....:lol
that sux. rip.
the 'intro/sweet jane' off of rock n' roll animal was one of my all-time favorites.
and i have to assume you've heard this - there's a better. longer version worth hunting down,,
but this is one of the most stunning pieces of music i've ever heard. from anywhere :
...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=068AFYvd58Ethe 80's were trashed for a number of valid reasons - but i miss these folks. '60s protest in new wave...
some of thr best of the best. i need a seatbelt to thoroughly enjoy - had to borrow it from Ys.
blast from way past.
genius.
fwiw -
time isn't holding us
time isn't after us
Here's a really good one from MLi -

Malaysia - Phlox

pink floyd influenced, among other things. not bad...
iirc, one of nasca's claims to fame is that they never play the same four (or five, i can't remember which) notes in a row twice. good stuff.

sadly, most italprogs are '1'
i've just heard this - this is pretty special.
new age/ambient(?)
despite the depressing theme of the cd, the music is quite stunning. i'd love to hear some of the earlier stuff.
this one is...
Deviants - Ptooff!
dreck....
that's not me. i love the dead.
i would have thought that the homage to the quality lyrics by Goblin, Galie, and KISS would have been your first hint.
Sorry for the formatting, the damn thing collapsed all the columns and tabs...
People ask me – they say – “Dave, how come you like Italian Prog so much when you don’t understand or speak Italian?”
Well, I do – I’m self-taught. In the beginning, it was somewhat difficult and...
a lot of fusion in there, although the zuffanti stuff is more straight forward and top-notch (hostsonaten, la maschera di cera, finisterre)
DON'T FORGET Il Bacio Della Medusa! I think this could...
i forgot l'uovo di colombo - s/t
damn snake.
Great band - Nick from Anazitisi Records has some relationship with these guys and their archives, so it wouldn't surprise me uf more pops up. If you're interested, ping him at...
Here would be my first ten:
Banco - Darwin
PFM - Per un Amico
Il Baletto di Bronzo - Ys (watch out for this one - don;t play it while your little kids are around - it'll give them nightmares)...
[QUOTE=Progbear;56864]The piano playing on the title track is just spellbinding. The rest of the album is nothing to write Mom about. Somewhat PFM-influenced, but nowhere near on that level, sadly....
that was pretty good, except for pneuma - where would one go to get anything from costa rica? - best i can find is cdbaby for selected bands - time's forgotten?
Weird. Just been playing this. The individual MIA CD releases have bonus tracks (or at least used to) that were compiled (or taken from) as an independant release which i don't see available anymore...
damn good point.
roll away..
I've never understood why the Dead have always been dismissed outright as not being a prog band, specifically the early stuff.Throughout their career they have had their prog moments, but GuitarGeek...
leo kottke, especially the first 6 or 7.
Il Bacio della Medusa - Deus Lo Vult is absolutely brilliant. I've done a 180 or 360 or whatever on this one. Once I got into the vocals, this thing is sheer perfection. Best stuff I've heard in the...
What are the most proggy albums the dead have done?
there is a method to my madness in asking the question....
it's been a while (long story), but what happened to your search engine? putting in 'ital' shows nothing, where i used to be able to peruse for hours... doesn't seem to search the text. or is it just...
rotflmao
but they did play the star spangled banner before they'd let you go to sleep.
weren't those the days?
excuse me, gotta go watch the lawn. who the hell is on my lawn?
Finally got my copy and I agree w/ Cozy (or progbaby or whoever) here - this is better than the 1973 debut (sacrilege!!!!) - and that's no slouch. Very harmonic and close to the best of italprog for...
Life's Rich Pageant was the pinnacle. I remember when the first - the 4 song EP Chronic Town came out and it was a breath of fresh air. Music was coming back after disco and the rest of that late...
there was a live one in between, if i understand correctly ...
no. no accolades whatsoever. sorry, there were a couple of truly incredible moments before they faded into commerciality.
Here's another one, although i think it's very similar:
YouTube's got the complete first Captain Beyond - s/t and third - Sufficiently Breathless. worth listening to - ymmv.
As close as i dare get to 10, otherwise be cutting out a gem. A lot of South American and Eastern European countries were just coming on line with some really meaningful stuff, mostly because of...
812
On the plus side:
Some nice sounds and tones from about 1:34 until about 6:15 - i guess that was the foundation for the piece. that could be listened to. nice pictures.
On the critical side -...
NOOOOO!
dang, has it come to this?
can't believe this is the going to be the preferred method of distribution. as best i can tell, this album has been 'made' for a while. nobody seems to have...
great tune!
elp - fanfare from the montreal olympics (long version).
genesis - musical box - wasn't this the cementation of prog after kc? :)
jt - taab
jt - pashion play - you, know, if it...
These folks are one of my very favorite bands - their first two releases were quite something. In trolling around the web, they seem to have released this some time this year, although there's not a...
Great way to start the morning!
