ive been trying, with some success, to get into gentle giant since you said (somewhat misleadingly, it must now be admitted) that they were even better than VdGG. i quite like octopus now - it even has a few deadly tunes, and in a glass house is growing on me. Free Hand though - not sure about that one, it has some despicable keyboard solos. i'm thinking of trying out the live album next... the singer is a bit of a turn off at times.

other prog i've failed to appreciate: camel, magma

likewise - i picked up 'octopus' because yer always going on about them barry, it's cool, just wasn't the mind melter i was hoping for.

ps - i have yet to pick up any Alien Sex Fiend records

i dont know that alien sex fiend are for me either. im going to stick with gentle giant though, theres something repulsive there that keeps drawing me back. i listened to the live one - Playing The Fool - deadly. i had assumed they wouldnt be able to pull off that singing nonsense live but i was wrong.

I didn't dig Octopus first time I heard it either because I was so used to the live versions on Playing The Fool. Got over that quickly enough though. The Repertoire remaster is the one to get.

All their albums from Acquiring The Taste to Interview are essential but the intro purchase for non-believers is the Gentle Giant On The Box DVD which has a mindblowing TV studio gig from 1974. Probably all on youtube but better if watched from start to finish, as I have, 3 squillion times.

They're more like embarrassing geography teachers than a bunch of Iggys but don't let that put you off.

Most surviving, lucid, GG fans reckon live was where they were most 'at'.

Hard to recommend any one ASF album with a straight face but Too Much Acid is one of my top 10 albums of all of times.

I only listen to/talk about two bands. Makes life easier and leaves me more time to meet girls and do acting





EDIIIT: Pawn Hearts by VDGG is still best album ever though

I heartily endorse all Gentle Giant endorsements. But this is the mother of all prog albums...

 

[Goodbye]

Are yiz all too cool to mention these boys?

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

floyd arent really prog though, more of a melancholy pop band with long songs. i got a magma album last year called mekanic destruktive kommando (or something like that) - worst shit i ever heard in my life, a bit like pink floyds atom heart mother (the track itself) gone heinously wrong.

some prog i have liked in the past...
Univers Zero - heresie and crawling wind were good, didnt like ceux du dehors (?)
Peter Hammill - In Camera is amazing, especially Gog (the musical equivalent of being chased down the corridors of castle dracula by satan himself...)
Utopia - Ra: i love this, im dying to listen to it. available for less than a fiver in every second hand record shop

 

[Unclealo]

Magma rule!

 

[portrid]

Yeah MAGMA RUUUULE!

Check out Shub-Niggurath, Weidorje, 5uu's and Thinking Plague for more unlistenable prog bollox*.


*AMAZING unlistenable prog bollox. Some of it isn't even prog!

 

[nuke terrorist]

i'm not interested in prog but i have to say the MAGMA track De Futura is one of the most intense pieces of music i've ever heard.
it must be at least as heavy as any pre punk song i know.
there is an AMAZING live video of the song on you tube.
please check it out - it doesn't sound like the other MAGMA stuff that i know.

(sorry, i don't know how to make links.)

 

[shower another shower]

RUSH 2112

 

[Bunny]

Yes they are. They're just not shit prog. Have you ever heard their album 'Animals'?

On topic though, 'Islands' by King Crimson is deadly.
