Preorder is up. Covering prog/prog albums from 1990-2016.
I'm rather curious to check this out, the interviews namely. I can't help but be envious, and would like to write a book like this myself (maybe 1 day, lol).
Yeah, the interviews do seem to be worth while, I just find 40 $ (excluding shipping costs) to be a bit steep. Though I guess that also depends on the layout/packaging. I truly hope the picture on the progreport website you just posted has nothing to do with the actual cover of the book...
hmmm, I guess this picture must be the real deal: https://www.rockhard.de/news/newsarc...en-winter.html
I know it's nitpicking and shouldn't (and doesen't) play an important role in my decision making on buying the book but my god do I find that cover hideous...
I'll pass up big time on this, because I cannot agree on a single of their names being "essential" (as shown on their preview), according to moi, of course.
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
I don't necessarily have to agree with the selection of albums, but if it's nice enough coffee table book I might get it.

Personally I think including both Normal Love albums was excessive.

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.
Think I'll pass, will go like hot cakes at ROSfest less so at RIO.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?

Nah, I'm good.

Do they have any idea just how tiny that celebration is?

You guys are a cynical bunch lol.
I think anyone who attempts to create a printed publication about progressive rock in the last 25 years is already working uphill. But if they are going to write a book about it, it's going to naturally cover the most visible names. Anyone that is going to put in a lot of work and/or a financial investment to put out a product is not going to focus on music that's sold hundreds of copies.
In short, it is what it is. Since there is a great deal of web content to occupy my time for free, a $40 price point is not for me.
