I was going to say that it has a lot more moving parts than a mellotron, but then I started thinking about how much power that getup must consume  Then again floppies and hard disks are fairly simple mechanically, maybe his energy bill doesn't come in chapters.

Not exactly prog, but the Commodore 64 had a program, The Incredible Musical Keyboard. One of the demos for the program was a portion of Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNaGbJBAeqA

Their first album is up at bandcamp, it's really good too. Maybe I'm biased since they're my long time friends but IMO along with the first Astra, this is the best prog made in decades. https://maladyband.bandcamp.com/

Do any of you guys know what this bit from a William Bennet interview is referring to? I can't find a specific label or band called Cosmic that fits and it's not really googleable

Was that translated from German? "Kosmiche Musik" is apparently the German term for what we call krautrock, and that sounds like it's describing Can's later stuff and similar bands.

It's Italian and is not referring to krautrock, but people in the identify a song thread already explained it.

I fuckin' love me some Opeth. Ghost Reveries is probably my favorite but all of the albums are pretty special to me. I think Sorceress is good but it doesn't really feel like an Opeth album. I wouldn't even use the same adjectives to describe Sorceress vs. the rest of Opeth.

A is a halfway decent album, and I recommend getting a copy with the Slipstream DVD. Under Wraps #2 is one of my favorite Jethro Tull songs, or at least one of the ones that gets stuck in my head the most. Dot Com is pretty good but not something I feel compelled to revisit, and the Christmas album is in my holiday playlist every year. Those are all the kind words I have.

Dot com really isn’t that bad. And I remember Ian Anderson’s solo album from around that time being ok too. The Secret Life of Birds or something like that.

Cymbal Monkey posted:What's good in Jethro Tull 80s and onward? The Broadsword and the Beast and A have a few decent tracks. Catfish Rising is farily solid Rock Island is Decent Dot Com is pretty good The 80s was a bad time for the Tull. gently caress Crest of the Knave and Under Wraps.

Cymbal Monkey posted:What's good in Jethro Tull 80s and onward? Tull kind of lost it for me in the 80s. They went all synthy in the first half, which sounds very dated now, although Broadsword and the Beast still holds up pretty well I guess. Ian Anderson destroyed his voice on the Under Wraps tour in 1985 and it never really recovered sadly. To compensate he changed his singing style on Crest of a Knave, Rock Island and Catfish Rising to a more bluesy talky style that is sort of Mark Knopflerish. These albums are more guitar centric then the earlier 80s albums and thus aren't terrible but don't have the same energy as 60s and 70s Tull. Roots to Branches is where Tull started to win me back. Anderson became classically trained on the flute sometime in the early 90s and you could tell that his flute playing improved significantly on this album. He also dropped the Mark Knopfler style of singing and attempted to return to his old style. While I appreciated the effort, he wasn't entirely successful, you could tell he was still struggling to hit a lot of the notes that would have been easy for him in the 70s. He still sounds like this  . Dot Com was not as good as Roots to Branches, and the Christmas album wasn't very notable, especially since the original versions of most of the songs when Anderson's voice was in better shape are a much better alternative to the versions on this album.I do enjoy Anderson's more recent solo material better than the later Tull stuff though. He's definitely embraced prog with his new band. Rupi's Dance and TAAB2 are quite good, and his most recent one, Homo Erraticus may have been the best thing he's done since Stormwatch. He also has some help on vocals now which is appreciated. Gianthogweed fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Mar 21, 2018 |

XBenedict posted:All of this. I liked Secret Language of Birds quite a bit as well. Oh yeah forgot about that one. There's a lot of people who are pissed at Anderson for refusing to reunite with Martin Barre and have a Jethro Tull reunion. But honestly I side with Anderson. Tull just sort of petered out in the 80s and 90s despite a few gems here and there and his new band has so much more energy and has recaptured a more modern version of that 70s Tull sound. Plus, I was never that much of a fan of Martin Barre's guitar style after the 70s. Gianthogweed fucked around with this message at 06:24 on Mar 22, 2018 |

I'm trying to think of all the prog bands that use, or have used, flute. Jethro Tull Genesis King Crimson (on the first album, at least) Camel I have a sneaking suspicion that Moody Blues and/or Soft Machine have as well, but I can't prove it.

Moody Blues was one of the first rock bands to use the flute and it had a very prominent place in the band. Ray Thomas recently passed away sadly. Bobby Babbington played the flute in the Soft Machine. The aforementioned Focus had flute featured prominently as played by Thijs Van Leer. Chicago's Walter Parazaider played the flute quite a bit along with the sax. Jerry Eubanks played the flute in the Marshall Tucker band, but now we're drifting away from prog and getting into jam band territory ...

Ah yeah, brain fart. Roy Babbington was the bass player. I'm not as familiar with Soft Machine. Also forgot to mention Theo Travis, the keyboard player also played flute.
