Shouldn't have said that. You would have won a prize, but the fact you came from a Scandanavian country negates any move to Oregon.:haha: :)

Re: Top 5 Prog Rock Albums
 

OK. I saw Samla Mammas Manna live AND chatted with the guys afterwards AND played the drums! Cookie?

OK, OK...I also Saw Peter Gabriel Christmas concert in London 1978. Phil C. joined in as well as Elton John.

Re: Top 5 Prog Rock Albums
 

Thank you 'Spaz.

This is the reason I gave up on r.m.p. Every other post was a top something or other post. We're eating up server disk space and bandwidth on this nonsense. Besides, none of the pick are ever right because nobody picks my top picks. :p :D

Re: Top 5 Prog Rock Albums
 

No we're not. In another thread it was told that we have plenty. And I suggested to delete the posts that were prior to an agreed upon date. So there's no issue with that.

Nonsense? Letting people have fun? Giving them an outlet for their views? If you say so. As Echolyn quotes from Willie Wonka, "A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men".

Is it any wonder anymore why the forums are not as engaging as they used to be?

Go put your stick back in the mud.

What are you picks by the way?

Re: Top 5 Prog Rock Albums
 

My top 5 are not as obscure as the rest, and are a reflection a what I am currently listening to:
1. Rush - Moving Pictures
2. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
3. Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
4. Dream Theater - Awake
5. Rush - Signals

Re: Top 5 Prog Rock Albums
 

Welcome, Mark. I read your profile....Rush...Porc tree....boy are you in for some good music on the Moon!

Re: Top 5 Prog Rock Albums
 

It was really hard to narrow it down to just five.
But I think I pulled it off.

1.Genesis - "Foxtrot"
2.Pink Floyd - "Dark Side of the Moon"
3.Yes - "Close To The Edge"
4.Van Der Graaf Generator - "Godbluff"
5.Rush - "Moving Pictures"

Re: Top 5 Prog Rock Albums
 

Ah, something new! Any chance you could get a copy to Jim via www.yousendit.com? 192k mp3 with perfect ID3 tags...

Re: Top 5 Prog Rock Albums
 

"Pure Reason Revolution" keeps coming up. I agree with spaz: we need to hear more. Any chance of hearing some more on the moon?

Re: Top 5 Prog Rock Albums
 

it's been on the Gagliarchives for 7-8 weeks now. Also, I will see them in the UK in about a month. If I buy the CD I will play it..

Re: Top 5 Prog Rock Albums
 

Not to be an ethical echo, spaz, but Jim asked for original copies only, on another thread (sorry, can't remember which), unless artist gives express permission for copies. Copyright reasons.

Re: Top 5 Prog Rock Albums
 

Sorry man. Dont wanna upset you. But I really dont wanna do that. I payed for the album. Its bloody fantastic. I highly recommend you pick up a copy for yourself. You wont regret it. I guess I just have too much of a concience to just send it out. Sorry, please dont be mad. :)

Re: Top 5 Prog Rock Albums
 

Ethical Echo...GREAT name for a band!

to reiterate, I can pick it up next month. But it's on the Gags and well, I for one am willing to wait for something good...

Re: Top 5 Prog Rock Albums
 

No prob, taril! Some people donate CD's if they're moved to do so, but that's up to them. I just wanted to pipe up about the copies vs originals issue. :grinz:

Sounds like rick has it covered.

Re: Top 5 Prog Rock Albums
 

Oh well that I understand. If I had another copy id gladly donate it.

Re: Top 5 Prog Rock Albums
 

If I like it I'll buy it. The thing here I'm suggesting isn't piracy. It's exposure. Getting a copy on the Moon can only help this new prog band. We're a community. What's the difference if Jim owns it or I own it or Taril owns it? Taril adding it to the Moon and Jim adding to the Moon wash out to be the same thing; Jim's just the gatekeeper.

To be technical, this whole site could be construed as a copyright issue.

Re: Top 5 Prog Rock Albums
 

Way to go. While we're at it, let's just call ASCAP :shootmeno

Look, I just got two nice CD's from a band named Auroris. I'll be uploading them to the Moon sometime soon enough. And I will play them on my show. If I just played them on my show, all I need to do is own it myself. But if it's on the Moon, the station must own it. If I own something and upload it, it's considered to be on the station. The way I understand it, Jim needs an actual disc in case an audit is done. I can have a disc and as long as I am "working" for the station, it should be ok for me to own it.

So that's why we should wait on this one, especially since it's popular. How about we don't open a can of worms?

And I may be wrong, but even if Tony from Auroris says to play his CD (and he will, and is happy for the exposure), that doesn't necessarily mean we're allowed to play it. We have to have a copy.

addendum:
 

talk about timing, check this out:

Pure Reason Revolution's management has just given us permission via
Sony/BMG to post to full-length MP3s to the NEARfest website.

Go http://www.nearfest.com/event/lineup.asp and click on "MP3"
underneath the PRR entry to download the following tracks:

- "The Intention Craft" (6:23)
- "Nimos & Tambos" (3:44)

Both tracks are from the album "The Dark Third" (US version).

Enjoy!

- Chad

I think the band is exposing itself nicely dare I say.

I may listen myself.

Re: Top 5 Prog Rock Albums
 

The thing here I'm suggesting isn't piracy. It's exposure.

I know what you mean, spaz but the thing is, it should be the artist's call whether or not they would like each individual to pay for the physical CD, or whether or not they want exposure by allowing someone other than themselves to "distribute" their music virtually, without the purchase of more CD's.

And my understanding of Jim's stand on this is that he wants original CD's if someone is willing to donate music to the station, unless the artist gives permission otherwise.

To me this is only prudent. Otherwise it would be opening the situation up to all kinds of nebulous interpretation, however well intended the gift.

And I'm speaking from the point of view of a listener wanting to donate music, I don't know enough about shows to comment on that.

Re: Top 5 Prog Rock Albums
 

MY first post, hi all! Just found this place (through Wikipedia btw).

My top five:

Genesis - SEBTP
Jan Hammer - The First Seven Days
King Crimson - Lark's Tongue in Aspic
Garden Wall - Path of Dreams
Genesis - Foxtrot



l8r

Re: Top 5 Prog Rock Albums
 

Garden Wall? Who's that? Oh, and welcome.

Re: addendum:
 

I'm downloading the longer one now (slow on dial-up), but the thing I found interesting is this: SPACE/POST ROCK. Yep, they're described as SPACE/POST ROCK. Isn't that the best way to describe Godspeed, Mogwai, and Tarentel? I think so. But these are short songs and by the picture I doubt they sound anything like those bands. This should be interesting.

Re: Top 5 Prog Rock Albums
 

Garden Wall *: Italian prog band of the nineties, 4pices; short tracks,aggressive guitars ; strong drumming not far from KC's seventies spirit with Hammill likes vocals (Seravalle, the singer seems to be a pH fan), 4 or 5 ? cds but lot were on the defunct german prog label" Music is intelligence":hrm: , it means "collectors" now ! Are they still active ?
mailo

* Gardenwall is an another italian band which covers Genesis


Yours

Re: Top 5 Prog Rock Albums
 

About Garden Wall:

http://www.progarchives.com/Progress...sp?band_id=124


The other early albums are good too, but beware of "Forget the Colours"! It's the most complex and dark prog metal album I've ever heard; it sure lives up to the title. Almost unlistenable IMO.

The sound on "Path of Dreams" is much warmer and more normal, albeit ambitious, prog. I especially love the way they can play long instrumental passages without ever getting boring and repetetive. A true gem. Check this album out if you can find it!
