Vitalski: It's an obvious answer but do you have Yes' Fragile? The second side is a goldmine. Side 2 opens with the first drum and bass track evah! Also check out the intro to "Heart of the Sunrise" and "The Fish" and the basslines to "Long Distance Runaround" and "Roundabout". Neil Peart is another obvious choice.
I find Inner Mounting Flame more or less unlistenable once I got past how virtuosic it is.

Return to Forever (w/diMeola), for ex., sounds more like emotionless showmanship to me. Fun in some ways, in no way deep like Mahavishnu.

I saw them in Lowell at the Paul Tsongas Arena last weekend (the last gig of this leg of their tour; I think the one right after MSG), which they were videotaping I believe for a PBS special and later a DVD release. They played The Beatles' "Every Little Thing" (an early cover of theirs, but very much revamped) as an encore instead of "Soon", plus "Starship Trooper" as the final closer. Great versions of "And You and I", "Ritual", "Turn of the Century"...
Minuses: They did a shuffle-blues acoustic version of "Roundabout" (like Clapton did for "Layla" on his Unplugged)--sounds too cheezy to me. Dean's inflatable set looked very (ahem) Stonehenge like.
That aside, I continue to be amazed at what a great show these guys still put on, since they're all like 55-60 years old. Plus, the a/c that night was non-existent, so it was like 85-90 degrees on stage the entire time for them.

answer to original poster's question -- Triode On n'a pas fini d'avoir tout vu (with proto-disco flutes!). it played between almost every outside set at terrastock in june and had people a little wiggly

An hour of archive footage with what seem to be Steve Wright penned glib captions, followed by the docu, in which Rick Wakeman will no doubt be aloowed to drone on.
Pretty entertaining so far though!

I guess you're talking about the photo inside the gatefold, but in general VdGG must win some sort of award for shittiest prog rock cover art. Other than Still Life, which is OK-ish, every album looks like it was knocked out on someone's tea break.

The front album cover art, whatever you call it. Felt revulsed by it, and I usually never comment on that kind of thing.

― mark s, Monday, 8 April 2024 21:56 (two months ago) link
I love Pawn Hearts but agree that the cover art is horrible. Also the gatefold is arguably worse, with the four of them goofin' around with Nazi salutes. Didn't age very well, that.
― sawdust lagoon, Monday, 8 April 2024 22:04 (two months ago) link
The live album has not a bad cover and "Still Life" is better than OK-ish.

glad you like it, definitely my prog discovery of the year thus far
speaking of VdGG I'm revisiting the 1st album, kinda funny to hear them before they figured their sound out, especially since on "Octopus" they seem to figure it out all at once. what a monster of a track that is. but "Aguarian" is the best track I think
― frogbs, Wednesday, 10 April 2024 03:14 (two months ago) link
A recent and really excellent discovery, should maybe be on a Krautrock thread, but belongs here as well I feel.

Funnily enough I was listening to that album last week. I like the track "Big City" but that's it. Stretching the concept of Krautrock to breaking point there. Their second album is probably better.

when i was doing that I had Duke on the "Now Playing" sign while Sunrain was on because I don't have that Ashra New Age of Earth vinyl (it's really hard to find!), someone came back and was like "this is blowing my mind, I had no idea Genesis did stuff like this"
