I didn't see in it this thread, I discovered today On her Journey To The Sun, an album by Rikard Sjöblom's Gungfly (such a terrible name), whom I had never heard about. It's very proggy, it's good, it just came out, I've been rocking out to it all day! The album is like 1h10m and there's a lot of ideas on it, so that's nice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXIL75HtKbQ

Vulture Culture posted:Weird, I just found this same album through Spotify's Discover Weekly playlist and I was about to post about it. Hah, that's exactly where I got it from. It led me into Beardfish, which I like so far.

I have to say, I thought prog was dying as of a few years ago and clung to the classics but in the past few weeks I've discovered Beardfish, Gungfly, Barock project, Big Big Train, and it's giving me a lot of hope for the future. Really happy about finding new, worth-listening-to prog. And that's just on the rock side of things, tech metal is doing a lot of good for the genre as well.

I'm a grumpy prog nerd  Wilson's new album doesn't mean anything good to me. I think the new track is terrible. I mean it's his right to branch out and follow his influences and do what he wants, but I don't think I'll be following. I'll be relistening to Grace for Drowning...

I discovered Virgil Donati's album In This Life recently, and I think it's amazing. It's among the most Ron Jarzombek-y music I've heard so far, of which I find there is truly not enough.

In terms of modern prog wankery, An Endless Sporadic is among the most intricate and pleasing listen I've found recently. Any good recommendations in the same vein?

Marco Minneman's Schattenspiel album (2016) is really fun. The music is great, the concepts are weird enough but not too much, it's wanky but the music is kept at the forefront.

When I was younger and getting into prog metal, I revered Dream Theater. Queensryche were always mentioned along them, but 15 years later I still dont get why. They're so awful.

I couldn't stomach listening to The Astonishing and had to switch it off 15 minutes in, but there are probably good proggy musical moments in there, which is kind of a shame they have to be buried in the rest. If someone made a cut of the album that included only the solos and rocking parts I'd be interested to hear that. edit : apparently someone did it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrUZnzSqISQ I'll give a listen but even at 70 minutes I'm skeptical. e2 : Labrie started singing 5 minutes in and I... I just can't do it. Colonel J fucked around with this message at 19:45 on Sep 14, 2018 |

Ozric Tentacles is considered prog right? At this point I'm convinced they're the best band to just leave on play for hours and you're always guaranteed a good time. Any other prolific instrumental jam bands like them?

cgfreak posted:2000s Crimson is so underrated imo. Some real gnarly, aggressive stuff in there which is when KC are at their best (FraKctured and Level Five are just Yeah I really like that dark sound and I agree nothing sounds like it. Makes me think of Nuages and Industry off ToaPP. I really enjoy the atmospheres in those tracks, it's quite unique.

), cool glitchy electronic drums that make them sound almost drum&bass-like and as always some great live stuff - EleKtrik is definitely one of their top live albums. There's no one else who ever made any music that quite sounds like that era of KC.

Ugh with all this Crimson talk I can't wait for the show in September. I think I bought the tickets in February, so the wait is almost halfway done! Time flies !  I'm seeing the new Musical Box tour this Saturday, can't wait to pretend I'm not crying for 3 hours.

I'm going to the Montreal show next Thursday. My ex is coming with me, we were still together when we bought the tickets. Whatever, I can definitely get over that grudge for an evening with Crimson. I'm ridiculously excited, esp. considering its been 8 months since we got the tickets! if anyone had told me 15 years ago when I was getting into prog as a teen that I'd ever see KC live I wouldn't have believed them.

Something I really like which I've pretty much only seen prog bands do is release re-imagined versions of their material. This year I got really into OSI and have been listening to their first 3 albums a lot, and I just figured out that they have an EP called Re: Free which takes 3 songs from Free and just completely re-writes them as if they were new songs. I was really happy to find that out. I've also listened extensively in the past to Cynic's Re-Traced which does the same with songs from Traced in Air and Tesseract's Perspective, an acoustic-with-drums rendition of One. Any other bands/albums I should check in that vein? I guess a comedy option would be Futile Bread Machine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4EH52v7tVI

OSI pretty much became my favorite band last year. I listened less to Fire Make Thunder as it seems to do less for me, but the first 3 albums are amazing. I'm kind of mad because I still can't listen to Blood without weeping, it was the soundtrack to my breakup last year

Steven Wilson has a new track out : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_H0NO-Cyew Can't really say I'm a fan of the direction he's been taking the past few years. At least it made me re-listen to Grace For Drowning. I like sad teenage angsty Wilson, embarassing as it may be.

I think DT is good up until Train of Thought. I'm not sure though, because 2005/6 is around the time I started branching out into heavier metal and other styles, so I don't know how much of the fact that they started sucking for me at that moment is due to them actually sucking, or me becoming uninterested.
