posting this here mostly out of bemusement bc i just never paid Isotope any mind :idk:
somebody on YT posted a vid with live excerpts from his choice of the "shredders of the 7TS" with a lot of the usual suspects, and Gary Boyle....
i gotta say, dude could shred
jury's still out on whether i was "missing" anything

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x23iiwi

(daily motion link for shits and giggles - come meet me on myspace later)

i know, i know -why pay any attention to YT lists that pretend to present the subjective as the objective?
well, i got what i bargained for - i hit the link wondering if i'd see anyone i hadn't really checked out, and i got Gary Boyle
i also got Shawn Lane, which, pfft
did not get Coryell, Morse, Goodsall or several other names about which one could argue

all of which kinda confirms to me that there's a difference b/w chops and shred, and as a general rule i'm not interested in shred

i'm pretty sure i've posted Hero & Heroine before, but here' some more Strawbs
Strawbs prob come across to most as more folk rock, even in their proggiest moments, but imo they did don the cape - ironically, far moreso after Rick Wakeman's departure than during his tenure. and whatever they might have done, they earned a place in the prog pantheon for giving the Caped One his first landing....

so, truth, even on some of the middle period prog highlights, they sound better suited to their role as Sandy Denny's first recorded backing band (not quite fair to them, since most of the songs are by Cousins) than as the launching pad for the very caped one hisself....
still, here for your predilection is one of those proggier items* -

*go listen to Ghosts if this one has already been posted, lol :lol:

getting more electronic, the main dude here is assisted ably by two members of Heldon:

much of it's not very proggy from a purely rhythmic standpoint, but it def brings the sonics in spades

and how bout that cover art? :snax:

ok, posting twice, separately, today, because this is a rarity - something i've completely overlooked, and i actually like - especially the first album. at the start i worried a mite about this maybe all ending up as sub-Chicago/BS&T oompah "jazz" but i actually do like the first album here, and i think it should probs be better known. (also, those vox on the first cut are more than a little reminiscent of Mark Farner, which i realize is not going to elicit much confidence in the listener - but hang in there, that is far from the dominant "voice" on this album). beyond Vincent's nice git, there are some very nice Mike Nock contributions throughout :)*

now, not as much for the second two, because there are increasing intrusions of fairly naff disco stylings, and vocals which, while "better" than the Farnerisms on the first from a technical stand-point, are both more faceless and more annoying. it'd be nice to have an indexed or playlist version of these to allow judicious skimming/scanning. anyway, along with the dire popisms comes some more prototypical fusion, especially on the the third album, and it burns pretty well. it's kind've a shame b/c Vincent is obviously an interesting player and, left free of commercial pressures, he might have produced a few other worthwhile items (i need to keep listening to his post-1980 stuff - maybe something is there). of course, if non-funky EWF without the tight horns or tighter vox is your cuppa, knock yourself out. i'll probs listen a few more times to the second two then revert to switching off after the Culmination album has...culminated. still, worth it for that alone say i :snax:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RG3ZOrHF-Q

my whiffing on this is all the more perplexing given that Vincent was in HP Lovecraft, which despite being from a genre that is prog-adjecent on a totally different axis, is very well known to me (and also enjoyable). i guess i just had blinders on when it came to jazz and fusion - especially stuff that could be termed "jazz rock" - hopefully there are some more lost gems out there? :snax:

slight return: i see he caught jesus, which does not inspire faith in his post-7Ts output :(

interesting amp choices, Richard Larcombe - rockin' the OR120 on the tiny pub stage but then, on what is visibly a much larger stage, it's the Crate GFX-65 - is it just the change in years?
