In addition to having its own style, progressive rock tends to have cornered the market on a couple of instruments. These are perfectly normal instruments, not custom-made one of a kinds, that over the years have just become associated with prog through its use by certain iconic figres or bands. While they might be normal, these instruments never really punched their way into mainstream music, and so have been left as a sort of footnote in the history of progressive rock... MORE

BOOK REPORT This guy is fairly well known for his bleak and reclusive perspectives of humanity. And his novel that has struck me with due effect recently. This guy also wrote something everyone has heard of lately, being the author of the book _No Country For Old Men_, which of course is a well regarded film at the moment. Ok, the film is mainly a Cohen Bros. enterprise, but that cut throat and sinster plot, that is Cormac. It carries Oprah's Book Club sticker, but don't ... MORE

In the beginning, do you here the beautiful strings? Chances are, you've heard that sound and instrument before but didn't know exactly what you were hearing. It's not strings, although it sounds like it. It's not a synthesizer, although it is a keyboard. It's the mellotron. The mellotron is ... MORE

I've covered most of the "main" styles of prog. The few remaining ones, for one reason or another, are styles that I don't feel I should include in these pages. Some, like prog metal, I don't really know much about, as I've never really got into it (not that I won't ever, but it just hasn't happened yet). Some, like fusion and, to a lesser extant, ambient music, are probably ones that many of you are familiar with already (probably not even aware that they were considere... MORE

Posts have been sparse, life's been busy. If it ain't sickness, it's work. I've mentioned before that I have two jobs. I also am now playing bass in two very different bands. One is a cover band (that's the one that actually makes a small amount of money now and then) and the other is original, just starting, doing sort of an instrumental, Explosions in the Sky meets the Belltower sort of thing. Lots of fun. Three kids. Lots of fun. But each thing I do takes up one... MORE

So I finally got some Crimson in my collection! And I only had to go all the way to South Carolina to get it. While I would like to say I went all the way to South Carolina to buy just one album, I actually had to go there for work purposes, but none the less, I found an awesome record store near by and went nuts (Pappa Jazz in Columbia, SC.) Before this week is over I foresee myself spending around $100 in there. If I were rich, I would probably end up spending... MORE

The mid-1970's line up of King Crimson has been much touted around these parts, my MOG page being no exception. I've posted some of their stuff already, and far be it from me to beat something to death, but I wanted to talk briefly about their live performance. There are hundreds of bootlegs from this lineup in existence, most of questionable quality, but the demand always seems to be there. The reason? Sheer, raw intensity. This line up was the heaviest of KCs long-f... MORE

I don't really know that much about King Crimson, but I got my hands on this cd recently and what an album it is.

By their fourth album King Crimson was running out of steam. The elaborate compositions were becoming more stripped down even as they further pushed various envelopes. Robert Fripp's fascination with what "else" a guitar could sound like was already well on it's way to becoming obsessive as he constantly sought new ways to record what he heard in his head. This is not a very good cd as more than half of it sounds blander than muzak. But A Sailor's Tale is interesting and ... MORE

This is nuts! I think King Crimson played my bar mitzvah back in '85. The Rye Community Synagogue was OUT OF SIGHT!

Er, they don't play guitar like this anymore. Talk about sustain, and someone actually making a Chapman stick not sound too silly...
Fantastically nuts

Inspired by a somewhat heated discussion last year with some equally opinionated former co-workers about "heavy metal credibility," I unsolicitedly added my two cents to the fray by submitting my Top Ten Heavy Metal acts (which resulted in this post) appended with reasons behind each choice, a runners-up roster and, more importantly, a list of bands who - while not technically "heavy metal" - still warrant inclusion in any discussion about the genre. Among this list were n... MORE
