Re: Shut down progarchives

Re: Ken's Novel
I actually preferred their first album, The Guide, over Domain of Oblivion. I thought the tracks on the latter album tended to run together in my mind with fairly little to distinguish them.

Re: New Jadis CD and Martin Orford leaves (cut and paste)
My opinion is that Jadis albums alternate great and okay:
- More Than Meets The Eye: Okay. "Wonderful World" is a great track.
- Across The Water: Great.
- Somersault: Okay, with a couple of very...

Re: What do you like best in prog?
I think that fundamentally what I appreciate about prog is that it rarely strays into the basic pop form of verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-verse-chorus. The structures are varied and fluid, and it...

Re: What CD's Are you Playing RIght Now? Top 5
Hmm, I like Snow quite a bit, but I have to admit I always think of it as a prog version of The Who's Tommy. It's essentially the same story, with a dose of Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land...

I don't object to it, but music with lyrics coming from a substantially different worldview from mine can obstruct my enjoyment of the whole package.
I do own some Christian music. I enjoy Iona,...

In order for it to be easy, I would need to be a fan of ELP and PH, but I've never heard anything by them other than their radio "hits"! :rolleyes:
Hmm, a little searching turns up a song by each...

I've been reluctant to buy Morse's post-Spock's Beard stuff due to what I understand is substantial Christian content. (A girlfriend once described me as "the least spiritual person she knew".) How...

Re: Prog subgenre definitions
This page (http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive-rock.asp) has some decent definitions of prog subgenre terms. As with any such definitions, take what you like and completely disregard the rest. :)

I picked up In Absentia and haven't been that into it. "Blackest Eyes" is a good rocking song, but otherwise I found the album to be pretty faceless.

Re: Re: What a sham!
If it weren't for U2, Depeche Mode and REM, 80s music would have been merely bland. Instead, it was actively annoying. ;)
Geez, the 80s. What a musical wasteland.
