Been listening to a fair bit of obscurities lately because my cds are packed away so I'm on youtube more - this one's from '77 (hardly the annus mirabilis of prog) and from Israel, so nice to see that - (multitap ) echoes of Yes are evident - though the bassist, significantly, is much more Jack Bruce than Chris Squire (and pretty much his own thang, really) and overall it's nowhere near as monolithically Yessiriffic as, say, Starcastle of the same vintage. it's nice to hear something different (not different) once in a while. I'll take that qersty H.Cow post anyday tho

I missed thia thread so much.. Not much prog in my weekly listenings these days but I always enjoy to put on some while doing house maintenance in the weekend mornings. Noted for the next weekend!

i missed this site so much

welp - hopefully you don't hate it - i don't want to over-sell it - this is really the shallower end of the prog pool - I'm thinking more of how it compares to some of the "lost classics" by one-and-done firstwave prog latecomers that tend to get over-praised by the obsessive progistas (i'm looking at you Cathedral's Stained Glass Stories) f'rinstance than i am of how it stacks up with the big boys wearing authentic Hammer Horror cast-off capes. and also, was interested in its rep as a yesclone (it's mostly the vox from what i can hear becuz neither the bass nor the guitar are really gettin' that)...and also its country of origin, because i haven't run across a tonne of vintage prog from Israel.

anyway - we've covered so much of the primo/better-known stuff at this point that we're perforce left to deal with such obscurities (and i just don't have the heart to start slinging Neal Morse, sub-Marillionites or Dream Theater wannabes)

if you've got the time and you're not too grossed out by the taste of those shallots, give this one a spin - it might be more up yer alley:

annnnd, just because i'm here and my allergies are kicking up fierce so i listened to this:

yes. that's the way i roll - most of my listening choices are predicated on my momentary physical state - explains why i listen to so much prog, yeah?

[also- long live analog noise - lots of pollen in the grooves of duder's copy ]

they could easily have turned a place of my own into an epic - that they didn't is one of the reason i love them....

which post - the one about the Israeli prog band?

[Eivind August]

Possibly posted before, but still prog.

[Chankgeez]

Can't remember if that's been posted before, but it's definitely worth listening to again.

yeh, let's mobius strip this

just watched a BBC4 doc about prog that painted a picture of prog as, like 90% ELP and Yes, 5% Genesis, 2% some Quebecois Genesis tribute band and whatever else (a miscellany out-timed by the punk included).

idk whether that's objectively true, but thank the noodly appendage it can't erase what's in my brain...yet.

Really liked that Ghost Rhythms

so i guess this continues my recent trend of posting things that straddle the prog/fusion line
i feel a little odd about posting it, because - to be clear - i don't like it
but some dude posted on the web about how great it was, and i'd heard of the constituent musos (mostly from S.Wilson's band i think), but then i queued this up on youtube and it came on an i was like "wat :/" and then i kept listening and at the end i was still like "wat :/"
curious as to whether anybody really likes this shit

Aie, sounds like the fonk-ay house band on a podcast for bros who think they're clever where they talk about how they're above Marvel movies and how they dig science and how religion sucks and they're oblivious to how douchey they are.
