Previously, on /prog/: >>127294997

Has progressive rock that isn't some strain of avant-prog made any strides lately?

cool Henry Cow op, I've been getting into them lately. Some anon posted this song some time ago and I said it was "not going anywhere". now I think it's quite good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2Tde5vBIyQ
>>127354848
I would like to know too.

>>127354908
Henry Cow has some decent stuff, but overall i find them pretty boring, i always found Univers Zero more interesting for early Avant-Prog/RIO.

>>127354848
no

Daily reminder that metalheads are subhumans and belong in gulags and camps.

>>127354983
Agreed about Univers Zero being more interesting. From what I've heard Henry Cow have great moments (like the last part of the song linked) but too much noodling for my taste.

classical influenced prog rock albums?

>>127355145
none of them are good, don't bother

>>127354848
Yes

>>127355145
Scheherazade and other stories

why is Robert Fripp so underappreciated? i mean, i'm sure we all agree he is one of the greatest artists of all time that single-handedly elevated Rock from slop to real art.

>>127355213
>obvious fripp baiting
these threads have reached a new low

>>127354998
kudos for telling it like it is

I put this on at a party once and annoyed everybody.

This is the definitive King Crimson album rating.

>>127356252
Whoops, Islands should be in SABB spot.

>>127356259
Nope it's perfect right where it is

where to start with univers zero?

>>127358874
Self titled 1977. Any of the first three really. Heresie is really dark and oppressive in atmosphere if you're into that.

>>127358919
Thanks anon. I'll give it a listen when I'm done listening to a ZAO album

Is Operation Mindcrime prog? I fucking love it it so much

>>127354848
The Mars Volta is the last non-avant band I remember doing anything remotely close to new.

woah, Univers Zero's sound is not pleasant at all. Truly bizarre. I admire that, but I don't know if I can get into them ever.

I hate Steven Wilson

>>127356252
discipline does not belong that low

I still haven't heard Close To The Edge

>>127363436
this general becomes more horrifying by the week

>>127362681
It does. Only three good tracks on the album. The rest is filler.

>>127362394
Chino?

what is the saddest Zeuhl song :^) ?

>>127359778
Yes, it's prog metal

>>127364181
what? that makes no fucking sense, Yes is not fucking metal, and "prog metal" makes no fucking sense, metal cannot be prog, god this general has gone to such shit.

Probably this or something by Ga'an

What the fuck are you talking about? Prog can be any genre. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not prog

Prog Quebecois recommendations? I'll be in Quebec City the next few days. Going to finish Harmonium (L'Heptade is the only album I have left) but I'll have room for a couple others

They are a bit all over the place, with pop and rock and jazz, but Ville Émard Blues Band are also very underrated

wrong. I direct you to
>21st Century Schizoid Man

>>127365261
Indeed they have.

>>127364532
Nope. It still counts

I shall listen to it tonight or tomorrow, thanks anon. Self titled completely filtered me, I could only skim through it.

why is Pictures Of A City so neglected?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7QdzDssvqY
i mean ok, yes, it's a schizoid man clone, but fuck's sake, who didn't want to have more of that when discovering them initially? This is more of something indeed very similar, but also enough of its own thing to stand on its own.

also i'm pretty sure a couple of italian prog bands covered it, they weren't so deaf then/there...

ok not 2 itals, but PFM:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0YT3fXeXDw

and bonus, US band Fireballet, 74: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e7pgbdB7kE

>>127365509
Ah, different band, cool

>>127360381
>>127365455
Try their later releases bro. It's not as oppressive and bleak. If you don't like some of the stuff on here then they're just not for you

>>127365525
>neglected
But I already told you Poseidon mogs Court...

>>127365802
The only track on Poseidon that's really good is Wake. Poseidon is a lackluster attempt to live up to the legendary achievement that Court is.

>legendary achievement
>album has moonchild on it
Yeah nah get fucked aye

>>127366185
Moonchild is the ultimate pleb filter. It's pure kino

>>127366168
>filtered by Cat Food and The Devil's Triangle

KWAB

>>127366302
I have come around to I Talk To The Wind, it's a good song but quite different to Schizoid Man, but Moonchild is just pure shit

the fuck does this gibberish mean

>>127366316
How? The first two minutes are beautiful followed by some of the best dreamy atmospheric Fripp improv that he ever recorded.

>>127366333
It's one of the first songs to rightfully call out the goyslop people eat on a daily basis

>>127366351
How about you Fripp off a bridge
Lake was the true genius of the band

>>127366315
>Cat Food
Decent song, but not exceptional.
>The Devil's Triangle
Literally just Gustav Holst’s ‘Mars: Bringer of War’ from the Planets suite.

we should just call these threads the /crimson/ general, since that's all you fuckheads talk about

>>127366511
you're telling it like it is

Quick crimsondown on the new "telling it like it is" meme?

>>127366511
I'm a loyal poster. I can take credit for starting the last thread. I've just been on a Crimson stint recently, so I've been discussing them a lot.

>>127366569
it's the brand new thing

If you like Moonchild then you eat more shit than the characters in 120 Days of Sodom

>>127366864
I listen to free jazz all the time dude, listening to retards bitch about Moonchild is like listening to some coward who thinks mayonnaise is spicy. Get stronger, weakling.

>free jazz
Psh let me know when you're listening to expensive jazz

Thoughs on shub niggerah?

>>127366951
nta, but I don't think the problem with moonchild is that it's loose
if it was some engaging free form jazz improvisation, it could still be pretty great
the thing, though, is that it's a very bland and long song, occupying a huge portion of an otherwise flawless album
I don't hate it really, but it's just there, and I wouldn't miss it if it wasn't

Moonchild is the biggest pleb filter.

is there any good prog brutal death metal

>>127367085
here's your super brutal insane genre-redefining, trope-subverting, atmospheric, dark and eerie, emotionally draining, gut wrenching, aesthetically heavy craft by post-horror auteur with an arthouse edge, dread-inducing, suspenseful build up with strong character development and gradual feeling of escalation, bone-chilling slow burn with “say more with less” approach and soul-shaking, blood-curdling, skin-crawling and nerve-wracking exercise in persistently looming dread where tension and anxiety permeates every frame as movie reaches its nail-biting, jaw-clenching and paranoia-inducing final climax song bro
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnYDqv8-lJE

>>127366168
They weren't "attempting to live up" to the debut at all, dumbass. The label wanted them to immediately release a follow-up so they barely had time to write and knew it wouldn't be as good. It's still a better sophomore album than 99% of bands out there through which is a testament to how amazing of a band they

>>127367170

I got you covered bro

>>127366970
I love their cacophony
I know Lovecraft hated music but I believe he would secretly enjoyed them as they truly embody their namesake

>>127366864
Being this autistically negative about others enjoying the music you despise is so cringe dude please just accept you have bad taste

>>127367252
No, Moonchild is a bad song and was made as a literal joke song
>dude this bad thing is actually good and you are just le filtered
That's the oldest and dumbest meme this site has

>>127367207
yeah thats a solid album, cheers man
>>127365559
sounds so much better than self titled already to me. thanks

>>127367261
Don't care, gain taste

Challenge: Find a more pretentious What's In My Bag than this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTMIoBQ8PRM

I am pro Moonchild and it makes the eventual entrance of The Court of the Crimson King more impressive

>>127367775
it's fine and makes my balls tingle when i listen to it on headphones. although it's maybe a bit too long and the fact that a ton of reissues remove it or shorten it is concerning

Here's a moonchild I like:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=KDKx5huQ0WQ

Moonchild would have been a perfect song without the awful first 2 minutes.

we know, we know guys. they have many other songs

>>127367636
I heard he's collecting blue note records for his vinyl collection which I always thought was pretty cool. His taste in Scott Walker is also patrician.

>>127366822
You're in denial, anon. I speak objective facts. Your precious album is largely a snooze fest. Pictures of a City is a nice, upbeat, jazzy ballad. Cat Food isn't essential to Crimson's discography, it;s just filler with a terrible Fripp guitar solo. Cadence and Cascade is nice pastoral song, very much in the vain of Moonchild. Peace (A Beginning and an End) are filler, it's undebatable. The Devil's Triangle is essentially just a cover of Mars: the Bringer of War, take it or leave it.

In the Wake is the only song worth your time on this album. In fact, this should have been an EP, and the title track should have been another album. It's a shame that Wake's packaging and title track share the same spot with these other songs. It's just not a cohesive album at all. There's no rhyme or reason.

>>127367170
It's a pretty shoddy follow-up, and the label is retarded, but that's what you get. See >>127370882
