J:Ward-More Bears on Berkeley Campus

Might seem to some as an amateurish version of the great Gospel.

(I really don't want to engage in semantics here, but methinks the prog-rock tag doesn't really apply here, or at least not in the way it would to Gospel.)

gospel-the moon is a dead world

Very interesting recent find of mine. I've been hearing of these guys throughout my time in the music blogosphere, but only today took the time to obtain this record and give it a listen. A (to me) awesome-sounding melange of hardcore and math, no, progressive rock. Do try it out.

maserati-passages

Greetings once again, ladies and lads, I present to you a very recent discovery of mine, the music of maserati. Post-rock with a dash of psych-rock and math-rock and prog.

you probably already have this but here

Mindflowers

I've just fulfilled a year-long dream by catching Have Heart live a few days ago at The Underworld, London. Just so happened to be their last ever UK gig.

So, today's post might not appeal to lots of people, as it contains an immense amount of technical wank. But no, this ain't no ordinary wank. It's prog-fusion wank. A Hungarian band with the extraordinarily gay name Mindflowers, surpasses all expectations that I might have had prior to listening to their album Improgressive. I'm really not going to go into detail with this "review", but I will say this. If you have a next-to-null knowledge of fusion and are keen on discovering new genres of music, this a fantastic album to start upon.

Something special...

and definitely not too popular, Comus with what i think is their first full-length, First Utterance. Eccentric, sometimes freaky sounding prog-folk. Apparently this release has had an influence on Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth, mainly because of a line in the track Drippy Drip. My Arms, Your Hearse. Pretty disturbing artwork for such an album. Either way, enjoy.

just because...

Tell me this isn't the greatest prog-rock album to come out of England. Listen to it if you haven't already and immerse yourself into proggy goodness. Way, way, way ahead of its time. As much as I dislike Phil Collins, I do have to admit that he is one kickass drummer, to the extent that he sometimes does very hip-hopish drum fills in some sections of songs. 5/5.

this ones a two-parter. Sorry for any inconvenience.
