Rules

I made a Prog/Jazz album as a homage to 70s bands like Mahavishnu Orchestra, Gentle Giant, and Yes. First time making music like this. Currently working on getting it to all the main places like youtube and spotify.

Serendipity led me to this band. Very prog flavored rock from China. Two albums only, released ten years apart 2010 & 2020. Both won the Chinese Grammy equivalent for best album. I can’t understand it but I love it.

It's a little outside of Halloween and whatever is currently left of Goblin is playing down the street from me this weekend and I was curious if anyone had seen them and thought it was worth checking out?

Hi all, I think the title says it all, but I'd like to take the body of the post to pre-emptively apologize in case this is a done-to-death topic. However, given Henry Cow's reputation, I was surprised to find very little discussion on why people enjoy their music. For my part, I enjoy a lot of popular/mainstream prog, jazz, and classical, so I am curious about your takes on the case in favor of bands like Henry Cow that are really tough to get in to.

Given there's been so much talk of epics and suites recently, it made it all that much better to see one on the new Beardfish album (out today!) which I was already beyond stoked for. Clocking in just over 20 and a half minutes, the Out in the Open suite is a five part epic that's giving me all of the classic Beardfish vibes I've been craving during their hiatus.

Who's given it a listen so far?

I’ve only been starting my prog journey over the last seven months or so, but I’ve just listened to Relayer by Yes for the first time and Sound Chaser might be one of the best songs I’ve ever heard hands-down. The instrumental period in the middle of the song is some of the best guitar work I’ve ever had the pleasure to listen to.

Anyways, thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

This album has been loved/criticized so many times .., it's just a classic. It influenced so many different acts

Hi all,

Connect The Circle have recently released a lot of videos on YouTube. Playthrough of old (and new) songs, short outtakes from recordings, a short conversation between Arild Fevang (vocals) and Baard Kolstad (drums) while recording, one with Andreas Auby performing Grieg and one performing some ELP on piano... and many more.

Can you recommend any albums that are similar to "Chicago Transit Authority" by Chicago with some jazz influence?

I came across a band called Messenger today and liked them. Anyone has any info on the band?
