Rick Beato has devoted at least three videos to them and what supposedly makes them unique.

I'm just not hearing it myself, but their popularity is somewhat encouraging.
>>
>>129510317
Anglagard (debatable)
Birds and Buildings
Frost
Karmakanic
many might say Marillion, but they'd be wrong
Mars Volta
Nemo possibly
Premiata Forneria Marconi (possibly)
Spock's Beard
Steve Hackett
The Tangent

I have excluded bands that had fewer than three albums in their prime. If they came back 20+ years later to milk their fans with slop, those albums don't count.
>>
>>129512595
Hackett? Please Don't Touch, Defector and Spectral Mornings are all better than VOTA.

Also, Marillion never peaked.

>Please Don't Touch
Stopped reading there. Thank you for reminding me that piece of shit exists. A while ago someone asked what album has the biggest discrepancy between your personal rating and PA's. This is it by far. I'd give that a 1 star. I think there may have been a track on it that was tolerable. I bought this CD on a whim at a record store and it is the only CD I have ever gotten rid of.

>>129511084
>prog takes time
Hence why none of these bands have works as good as their early material. Classical composers often made some of their greatest works at an older age, even some movie makers do that. Prog is great for taking rock music further, but a lot of times it feels like it never went far enough. Just like a lot of typical rock and pop bands prog artists are running on fumes ~15 years into their career
>>
>>129514084
Magma, IQ, and Mike Oldfield released their greatest album over 30 years after their debut. Those are the only acts I can think of that do it. The rest peak around 3-8 albums in, all within 10 years of their debut.
>>
>>129512595
Never understood when people say this regarding anglagard, their first album was the only thing I listened to in the beginning but their second two are so much better after it clicks it's not really close

Well damn then I should just listen to classical then. There's as much vigour and it can actually persist with age.

Christian Vander is on a level of his own even in prog. I'd argue Tim Smith is there too but I'm not sure if that recent Cardiacs album is as good or at least comparable to On Land and in the Sea, etc.

There's the obvious choice you're talking about, the contrarian choice, and two objectively wrong choices. The only question is which are you.

All of which is moot because Invisible Man is clearly the best.

What does /mu/ think about Tangerine Dream’s 1978 record, Cyclone?
I personally enjoy the blending of live drumming, & wind instruments, with their trademark Berlin School sound. Steve Jolliffe’s vocals are an interesting, though sometimes intrusive, touch; & are easily the weakest of the new additions to my ears

>>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S90Cz8czK8U
>>
>>129530387
This one got a good laugh out of me. I have never heard of this band before, so I gave them a listen after work yesterday. The vocal work sounds close enough to Steve Jolliffe’s raving, so I can see what you mean by the comparison

>>129531211
To my understanding, the Virgin Years are the most consistent period in their discography. Most of their seventies records comprise of Froese, Franke, & Baumann; with Cyclone, & Force Majeure being the only two of the seventies Virgin output to lack Baumann’s contributions. The remainder of the Virgin Years saw Johannes Schmoelling join as the third member through the first half of the eighties. I am not too familiar with their output following Schmoelling’s departure, but I have not been too terribly impressed with what I have heard. They really seem to loose the creative momentum that built them into the colossal force in electronic music by the turn of the nineties

>>129535127
This is a first! Madrigal Meridian is easily the highlight track on the album; but I have never heard anyone praising it as highly as you. You should check out some of the bootlegs of their live performances from 1978, as they are closer to the B Side of Cyclone than the A Side

>>
>>129548082
Their first few albums were mid because they had shit drummers dragging them down. Even John Weathers isn't that great, but he can at least keep up and has a cool style. I don't know why they never got a virtuoso type drummer

>>129548082
Haven’t listened to all their discography so I can’t say my opinion on the band as a whole, but I guess it’s because its more mainstream with the way the songs are structured. I dislike meandering and randomly places lyrics and beats, along with random noodling. I like more purposeful free rhytms, so the power and the glory was a hard listen for me.
It’s also a very fun album
