It's been a bit of a while, but its good to be back, bitches!
Haven't listened to much prog, except Canterbury Binge 3 is approaching fast and I have already started to cheat a bit.
Latest musical discovery is Ralph Vaughan Williams. There are a few more, but I'll save those for a new thread. Simply put, Ralphie has cracked my cranium wide open and made me fall in love with his incredible diverse and incredible music. Just when you think you have "mastered" England in terms of prog, punk, RIO, famous composers that date as far back as Thomas Tallis, William Byrd, and WAY before that with even Richard the Lionheart in the mid to late 1100's. There is no way to hear every note that came out of this country, but I can't think of another country that produced a "body of work" that exceeds every expectation.
Watch this, it's mindblowing. Composer is William Byrd, considered one of England's greatest composer ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBGUN5fENrQ
