Hi All,
In the liner notes to the King Crimson 1998 live album Absent Lovers, Robert Fripp says: "Professor Bill Martin (in his Listening to the Future) puts the period of 'progressive' as 1968 -1978". Fripp also makes reference to the "quintessentially English nature of 'progressive'".
Obviously those narrow parameters would severely limit a station like Aural Moon, so there needs to be a broader approach to include music from all over the world, both new and older that embraces the spirit of "progressive".
For me, the conceptual depth and high quality of the musical and lyrical content and the high level of musical training and ability is what signifies "progressive".
Cheers,
