I'm happy they're doing it for new fans and people with a ton of money. I won't be attending despite living less than an hour away from one of the shows. The price is insane and the three of them were weak 12 years ago. Now one of them is dead and the others are 12 years older. There's no chance it will be good.

>>
>>129402283
there's this manga called jojo's bizarre adventure that's very popular, the creator's really into prog rock and filled it with prog references. the anime adaption did this iconic gimmick where each episode ended with a massive cliffhanger, and the ending themesong was roundabout, but it did this thing where the 40 second acoustic intro of roundabout played during the set-up for the cliffhanger and the actual credits dropped when the main song started

it became such an icon that japs and even western normies who've never watched the show edit roundabout into "to be continued" set-ups constantly

>Compared to his songwriting heroes, Waters knew that Collins represented everything superficial about the music industry, explaining, “I seem to always wind up attacking poor Phil Collins. He’s symptomatic of an awful lot of it. He might well disagree, and so might his fans. But the ‘feeling’ I get is that he’s pretending to be a songwriter or a rock ’n’ roller. It’s an act. That’s why it’s unsatisfying.”

I try to like them because they're one of the few prog bands big enough to tour and draw an audience of more than a couple hundred. There are some good tracks here and there, but overall it's not quite my cup of tea.

The best way to get into Magma's their live stuff rather than their studio albums, after 1975 they started using a keyboards which went a long way to making them more accessible.

The issue with Steven Wilson is that he is basically a 70s prog cover musician. His entire output is basically a version of something someone else made. It's good, but the charade is always present.

Bringing it back to Adrian Belew, what did you guys think of this now that the dust has settled a bit? I caught the tour in November '24. Honestly well up there with some of the other shows I've seen. I've seen Fripp w/ Belew ConstruKtion of Light tour. Beat had a more "American" feel I thought but Vai did well and respected the music. Belew looked like he was having a blast.

Suppers Ready and Dancing with the Moonlit Knight is a travesty too.

>>129438623
The vocals and instrumental at the beginning of Moonlit Knight aren't even in sync. Regardless of the overall creative choices, that felt like such a glaring hiccup that it must've been an accident.

speaking of shitty /prog/ reissues, what was zappa thinking here with those vocals? completely ruin the middle of what's otherwise a fantastic record

To be charitable, maybe he thought that CD reissues are pretty exploitative by nature so if he was going to do it he might as well augment the originals with new elements. Though desu I hate the Hot Rats remix a lot more. Don't get how anyone could prefer it.

>>129438396

>>
I unironically like Earthbound more than Summit Studios. In fact, it's my second favorite King Crimson live release behind Zoom Club 1972 with Muir (which also has shite audio quality).
Frankly at this point I feel like it's overhated just because Fripp disowned it way back when it came out. The performances are absolutely electric on here in spite of--perhaps, because of--the low fidelity. The Groon and Schizoid Man climaxes in particular are insane.

>Banks later thought the album's concept was the weakest thing about it, though the lyrics to some of the individual songs are "wonderful".
This is a perfectly reasonable opinion.

It's too frontloaded. Title track, In The Cage, Carpet Crawlers. Basically the songs they kept bringing back on a regular basis. At least in the case of, say, The Wall's filler songs, they were there for a narrative purpose. In the case of Lamb you know those weird extended filler passages are there so Peter had time to change his outfits.

People see this as Araki having a weird music taste but most japanese otaku in the 70s and 80s were big metalheads and prog rockers. Look no further than Nobuo Uematsu who was a big Keith Emerson wannabe. Dancing Mad feels like a lost ELP epic. And women were into that music big time, there's this female mangaka in Manben who kept modeling his male characters after Led Zeppelin members because she thought they were super cute.

I think this is one of the best prog albums released in the last decade.

i had a friend who was a huge rush fan who had seen them live like 20 times and always wore rush t shirts and he died just before neil peart did. its so wierd that they are coming back with a tour

black midi are alright, but they get a lot of shit here.
>>129461908
I'm still mulling through their back catalog, so I'll have to give this one a listen. The 2017 releases are my favorites: Polygondawanaland, Sketches of Brunswick East, and Flying Microtonal Banana.

Fripp may have accidentally invented the “official bootleg” thing.

any /prog/ bootlegs you beautiful gentlemen enjoy? ive been on a zappa binge lately. i hope this show gets officially released from the depths of his vault one day, the guitarwork is fucking ace. love this track in particular. it's so dark and evil sounding.

>>129441163
yeah I really like this album a lot, definitely my favorite version of Schizoid Man and the other instrumentals are great. Probably my second favorite KC live album behind the Great Deceiver box set
>>
>>129465390
Genesis Six of the Best is a classic. I'm surprised they haven't done anything official with it, since the bootlegs are already pretty good quality.

Listening to this album rn.

NU SHOOZ - POINT OF NO RETURN (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

https://youtu.be/yavaJNXoMe8?si=XnMvDnMNkiV_GL-g

this is kinda the sound I'm tryna have now as a musician but a little more urban, hip-hop or boom bappy and modern (as in techno or edm modern). It's ironic that I want this sound today and this came out EXACTLY 40 years ago almost to the day. March 1986. So it was literally being made and recorded right about now, 40 years ago. That's how I kinda guide my musical journey. You gotta pay attention to cycles and patterns because the world (and the musical scale) was created using the Fibonacci sequence which is basically code for infinite patterns and cycles.

Nu Shooz - Poolside (1986)

probably the coolest non-hip-hop or rock album I've ever heard. For sure the best one from the 80s.
>>
>>129466021
Wikipedia: Valerie Day's performances with Nu Shooz had mixed reviews. She and Smith (her husband and band partner) were credited with "rewriting the book" on Portland's R&B sound. One reviewer at the Seattle Times described her as having a "tough but perky wholesome image," and praised her dancing and conga playing, but opined that she over-used a certain vocal hook, and was reluctant to step out as the star of the group. From 2010 to 2014, Day was an adjunct professor at Portland State University, where she taught Contemporary/Jazz Voice.

I'd donate something like this to a church. Even if it was brand new. Or give it to my grandma. I'd only wear a sweater like that if it was blank. I'm cool on ur corny logos and designs. The look of wearing a blank hoody or sweater has way more impact than all that trendy shit ya'll wear that ur gonna think is lame in 3 years anyway.

Everyone has a signature look, whether they know it or not. The people that don't know it usually are the ones who look retarded and lame because they tryda follow everything and try everything they see everyone else doing. They have no sense of self or individuality.

But if it works on you and you can pull it off and still be sexy F it. I mean, I know I could. I just wouldn't with something corny looking like that, OR trendy. I wear a solid black hoody, an LA dodgers ballcap, and a fresh pair of 60-dollar Lee's. Air Jordan 4s an 5s n all white Forces. That's literally my whole wardrobe other than packs of white T's and white beaters. I will wear Navy blue and Khaki Dickies too. Only da pants tho. The full suits are a lil too extra for me personally, but I do think their fire and probably would wear em if I was a lot slimmer (I'm like 190 at 6ft).

That's just me tho. And you can't be me.

Be you.

I got to see them on tour, they clearly ALL loved doing it, just a joy to watch. I've never been a Vai fan before then and I was pretty blown away. He did a solo for Sheltering Sky like nothing I've ever heard.

Thanks for the response. Yeah. Vai was always the Devil's Guitarist in Crossroads to me. During that show he really impressed me which got me more into his solo stuff. And I thought it was really cool how Fripp gave his blessing to the whole project and corresponded with Steve Vai with suggestions and advice.

Ah, I see you gave up after Side 1. Way to out yourself.
>>
>>129473898
Passion Play is their magnum opus and one of the top 50 albums of all time. Songs from the Wood is the best light-hearted prog folk album. Bursting Out is a top 5 live album. Prime Ian Anderson was the most charismatic front man with the best showmanship in any band ever.

>>129473898
I wish they went in a more complex and heavy direction after APP rather than the whole ren faire thing
>>
>>129474846
Songs From the Wood is one of the most complex and heavy things they made.
>>
>>129474570
No, you're allowed to not like nursery rhymes. But your original post made it clear that you disliked Cross Eyed Mary and Mother Goose yet if you bothered to actually flip the record over you'd realize that My God, Hymn 43, Locomotive Breath and Wind Up all rock pretty hard. Just don't post stupid shit when you clearly have no idea what you're talking about
>>
>>129474902
Why would I bother listening to the rest of the album if I didn't like what I heard
Sunk cost fallacy ahh blud
>>
>>129474846
King Crimson, Gentle Giant, and VDGG did enough to make Passion Play-esque music. Don't get me wrong, I love that type of music and those are three of my favorite bands for a reason. Still, I like the variety Tull brings with Songs from the Wood, Thick as a Brick, and Heavy Horses.
