The Violin in Progressive Rock

[NogbadTheBad]

I'm sure someone here will think it's not cool to suggest because I was in the band, but Eccentric Orbit - Creation of the Humanoids has The Mighty Tom spraying violin all over the damn place.

Wicked inappropriate, dude. You should be banned! Just kidding, always a good thing to sing Tom's praises even if we were both in the band. He made that second album special, both instrumentally and with his composition skills! I think fans of violin in Prog would love this record.

Great recommendation finally seconded by a none band member. Now you can feel validated.

Agree 100%. Great album. I love it in the Dixie dregs albums also. One Jean-Luc Ponty album that I’ve always liked but doesn’t get much love is Individual Choice.

Stanley Clarke and Al DiMeola used the same violin player on their recent tours.
