And if /prog/ is dead
What am I?
A speck of lint, on the penis of an alien
Beneath the sands of Venus

And if a bird can post, who once was a dinosaur,
and a dog can dream; should it be implausible
that an anon might supervise
the construction of /prog/

Drunk drove to Even In The Quietest Moments last night and did not cause any accidents.

Take a look at my girlfriend

>he prefers the 1987 remix of Hot Rats
shiggy diggy

>>127701226
no he doesnt

Every poo demonstrably true

>>127701226
the 87 mix is clearly superior in every way
Willie The Pimp is just jarring in the original version, with the split sound in the intro, and the 87 version of The Gumbo Variations is much better

Frank Crappa lol
big keks all round hey

>>127702714
The primitive digital mastering is objectively godawful. The editing changes are more a matter of preference, but personally I don't think they were necessary.

Me? It's Gentle Giant's third album.

Hot Rats is the only one where i prefer the 87 mix, the original mixes for Freak Out & Uncle Meat especially are a lot better than the 87 mixes.

he literally invented the genre for the general you are posting in.

>>127706154
No pussy

>>127711255
you don't actually believe that, do you? even if you hold KC accountable for creating prog with their debut, the merit goes to Ian McDonald, who was the main songwriter, arranger, producer and resposible for the album's trademark sound with the mellotron, woodwinds and keyboards
fripp was just at the right place at the right time
all his attempts at emulating the success of the first album were pathetic. KC was only ever good when extraordinary and creative musicians pushed the band into new interesting directions

>>127712023

>>127712023
frippsisters... our response?...

>>127712023
The dark, heavy edge of ITCOTCK was ans much influenced by Fripp as the folksy whimsy was influenced by McDonald. They were the yin and yang of the original lineup, combining each other’s starkly contrasting musical dispositions into one all encompassing epic of an album is what made it work. Giving all the credit to either of them is stupid and petty, as is ignoring or dismissing Fripp’s role in assembling the talent of later lineups and defining their musical and philosophical identities. Like him or not, he is a founding father of prog.

>>127712023
>>127713047
fripp was the style, mcdonald was the substance; hence why ITWOP sounds more 'hollowed out' while still retaining the exact same atmosphere to it, and McDonald and Giles has the same soul despite being a thematic antipode. While I certainly have my Bias, I think everyone interested in this debate should listen to each writer's respective songs from the Brondesbury Tapes and put their own say to who really invented prog

you serious?
Prog was started by the Nice and Procol Harum in 67 (it was psychedelic rock with classical influence), and in the next years people started to mix rock with classical. ITCOTCK was the album that defined the genre, but it didnt start it

>>127712559

>>127710453
What an underwhelming vocal performance for one of the most emotional songs of all time. Thanks for reminding me I should listen to the original and the Seconds Out version.

>>127714042
I'm the OP. I listen primarily to prog only. I have zero fucks to give.

the one time? because nothing he was involved with after ITWOP sounds anything like ITCOTCK

What stink is Rog going to make about this one

And she is different from Cro-Magnon man
She's different from Anne Boleyn
She is different from the Rosenbergs
And from the unknown Jew
She is different from the unknown Nicaraguan
Half superstar half victim
She's a victor star conceptually new
And she is different from the Dodo
And from the Kankabono
She is different from the Aztec
And from the Cherokee
She's everybody's sister
She's a symbolic of our failure
She's the one in fifty million
Who can help us to be free
Because she died on TV
And I grieve for my sister

>>127697237 (OP)
Gazpacho just announced a new album in 5 years, not really excited by the 1st single so I hope the rest of the album is more interesting

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veN_OVvNm3s

also remember those 2 tripfags who kept talking about them?

>>127714482
I used to think that was a guy on the cover

I heard it was apparently one of his old girlfriends

>>127718107
His girlfriend did the spoken word parts

>>127706119

he didn't look that terrible when he cleaned himself up in the late 70s/80s. he aged like 50 years once the 90s started though

holy based

Now that dust has settled why was it forgotten so quickly? Is it because it just consists of 2 long tracks?
They were both well made but lacked any real stand out moments

>>127720434
because at some point you realize Steven Wilson is fucking boring and has nothing to offer beyond being the posterboy for a genre that has been creatively irrelevant for decades

>>127720526
>genre that has been creatively irrelevant for decades
lmao not sure if boomer or an ignorant hipster who only listens to acclaimed music

>>127720564
I like Steve and understand some of the critiques against him, but man something about his music really makes people overly emotional, and I mean in an argumentative way

god i fucking hate anime

FILL THE APPLICATION, START
A NEW CAREER

Devin Townsend should be the poster boy for modern prog and not Steven Wilson

>>127721772
It was the American cover actually, but because most reissues regardless of artist tend to prioritize the UK editions, the inferior cover became the cd/digital standard. What a shame.

>>127722127
he's extremely reddit and tacky. he's perfect for the job.

>>127722257
>he's extremely reddit and tacky.
He's completely sincere and genuine so irony poisoned people don't get him and call him cringe

>>127722289
>sincere and genuine
I agree. This doesn't contradict my post one bit. The fact that his goofiness is not an act just makes him even more of an embarrassment.

>>127722992
He's just Canadian

>>127723000
He's a neckbeard without the neckbeard.

>>127722992
He's bipoler and went through a lot of shit while touring, I'm glad he's doing better now

>>127728883
Sorry. I should have said physically unattractive. Creatively, she's very attractive. And she's probably a nice person too.

Hey anons, any recs on modern instrumental prog? 2024/2025 releases edition.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATK_GyiCDvQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uek1mexDB3I

More instrumentals like this?

Why has there been so much hate towards modern prog over the years? It's not like any of the music was offensively bad
It's especially weird to still hate on Prog now when shit like nu metal, emo pop and butt rock has been destigmatized

Look I'm just not gonna listen to prog released post 1981. That's all.

>>127729038
People like The Aristocrats. I don't get it personally, but there you go.

>>127729594
>post 1981
a fan of discipline?
why not 75

>>127730234
Because Duke came out in 1980

>>127727550
Just like every other TSOAF album, half is great and half is boring. At least this time they put all the great tracks together.

>>127730234
exactly that actually
>why not 75
Pink Floyd and Rush were still putting out good albums in the late 70s though

>>127730234

King Crimson can't do brutal pro-

bump

>>127718103
one of them was me. i see it as soyuz 2, so not too hype. the longer they take to write an album the worse it is usually. theres samples of all the tracks and lyric sheets were found on their site and its just ok from what you can hear so far. i hate to say it but the lyrics feel ai generated. very weak. probaby weaker than their first two albums honestly. the concept is bullshit. it was supposed to be about a wormwood plaguebringing comet or something originally and theres still some of that in 8-ball and maybe ceres but other than it just feels like unconnected shit. i've mostly moved onto things that are more in line with my taste this dry period. new corbin album is my aoty. feels more like a gazpacho album than this does lyrically.

>>127734301
Why is he like that?

Fripp smol

>>127740535
best Zappa live album
Wazoo is underrated though

>>127740969
he fired his best bandmates out of manlet-rage
that's also why he plays sitting down, so people won't notice there's an ugly dwarf playing guitar on stage

Listening to Yeti for the first time. It's good shit. Just listened to Future Days, for the first time too, after listening to almost 3 hours of Liszt and it felt pretty underwhelming. I mean, where's the music?

>>127740978
I'm not one of those people who doesn't like his goofy comedy music, but I still think the Hot Rats and Waka/Wazoo eras were peak Zappa. The Yellow Shark is underrated too.

>>127741080
I think I'm gonna listen to The Great Deceiver next. Is it really that great?

>>127741289
wetton jams can be really hit or miss. you're not going to like every single improv from the sets, but a couple of the improvs should become new favorite KC songs. If you like how they perform the normal songs too, then yeah you'll get a real kick out of it. It's like starless and bible black if it just went on and on and on. No I wouldn't call it the best KC Live album but it's maybe the most exhaustive in it's fullness

>>127740802
From what?

>>127741435
What is the best KC live album, then?

>>127741195
fully agreed
I don't have a problem with the sillier stuff, but the orchestral tunes and jazz/fusion epics are peak zappa

lefty prog? (besides wyatt)

>>127741661
arguably starless and bible black because it gives you a glimpse of everything TGD has to offer you, but not five hours long. sabb aside, I can't pick one in specific because none of them are exactly perfect, although I do have a favorite from each era. But if you put a gun to my head and told me to just say one, the first that comes to mind is the Frejus concert from Neal and Jack and Me

Well I woke up this morning
In a cloud of despair
I ran my hand across my head
And pulled out a pile of worried hair

I went to my physician
Who was buried in his thoughts
He said "Son, you've been readin' too much uh, Elephant Talk"

>>127723984
This is the correct Máquina album to get, Películas is good but hasn't aged that well.

Why bother? All the "new" music was already released on the live albums.

For me it’s Trespass

is there another prog album similar to this, but like.. not flaming trash?
in the sense that every track is an epic i mean

>>127746786
incantations
>inb4 that's also flaming trash
then no

>>127746786
i'd say picrel but that's kinda the thematic opposite of what tfto is. it's kino though

>>127751616
Yup. Recent math rock seems to embrace this a little more than in the past. I guess its cool now to claim as your inspirations Yes and King Crimson. The insecurities of the past are gay.
