Rustic Hinge's [recorded 1970, not released until '88, former Arthur Brown sidemen, almost certainly the first Trout Mask Replica-disciples] is excellent but you'll probably never find it. ― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 06:13 (twenty years ago) link

Anyone watching the prog rock BBC archive footage, followed by documentary this evening?
― Neil S, Friday, 2 January 2009 20:54 (fifteen years ago) link
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

Stuck this on in the background, we're gonna probably play Scrabble

Nice barnet, Moody Blues frontman.
― Neil S, Friday, 2 January 2009 21:06 (fifteen years ago) link
Hardcore flute action, yes it's the Tull!
― Neil S, Friday, 2 January 2009 21:10 (fifteen years ago) link
Wishbone Ash sound like Polvo!
― Neil S, Friday, 2 January 2009 21:14 (fifteen years ago) link
But look like Creme Brulee.
― Neil S, Friday, 2 January 2009 21:15 (fifteen years ago) link
Hang on, I didn't think any of this kicked off till 10pm? For fuck's sake.

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!
― Neil S, Friday, 2 January 2009 21:21 (fifteen years ago) link
Ah, right. Bugger, missing the archive footage, then (and still up to eyes with work and reluctanct to give up just yet. Tits).
― Special topics: Disco, The Common Market (grimly fiendish), Friday, 2 January 2009 21:25 (fifteen years ago) link
:-( sorry! First capes sighted too...
― Neil S, Friday, 2 January 2009 21:27 (fifteen years ago) link
have any of these put in in an appearance on the archive footing of the show
John Peel / Alan Freeman / Tommy Vance
― djmartian, Friday, 2 January 2009 21:29 (fifteen years ago) link
...and whispering Bob Harris
― djmartian, Friday, 2 January 2009 21:30 (fifteen years ago) link
Not yet, but Jimmy Saville did one of the intros.
― Neil S, Friday, 2 January 2009 21:30 (fifteen years ago) link
Hmmm Emerson Lake & Palmer suck the big one, sadly.
― Neil S, Friday, 2 January 2009 21:34 (fifteen years ago) link
Soft Machine a lot better!
― Neil S, Friday, 2 January 2009 21:41 (fifteen years ago) link
lol Bob Harris!
― Neil S, Friday, 2 January 2009 21:43 (fifteen years ago) link
does Bob Harris look like a long haired hippy?
― djmartian, Friday, 2 January 2009 21:47 (fifteen years ago) link
love Caravan.

any sign of the van der graaf generator yet?
― djmartian, Friday, 2 January 2009 21:51 (fifteen years ago) link
Harris looking well groomed. Genesis now, I think.
― Neil S, Friday, 2 January 2009 21:53 (fifteen years ago) link
radiohead

Robert Wyatt on the documentary :-)
― Neil S, Friday, 2 January 2009 22:04 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm watching the arse end of Big Brother and taping the start of the doc.
― Special topics: Disco, The Common Market (grimly fiendish), Friday, 2 January 2009 22:07 (fifteen years ago) link
Pretty good set of talking heads thus far. Some of the usual "greatest era" stuff, although most contrbutors seem to be able to analyse things a bit more than that.
― Neil S, Friday, 2 January 2009 22:10 (fifteen years ago) link
Scored 321 in a 3-player game against hapless gf's mum (142) and gf (120), who won last night's triple-header and incurred the fitting response. I am the GODLIEST, she the BARMAID. Bam. All this to a lovely soundtrack too. :)
― REMOVE THEIR EARS (country matters), Friday, 2 January 2009 22:15 (fifteen years ago) link
lol you so cool prog rock and Scrabble!
― Neil S, Friday, 2 January 2009 22:22 (fifteen years ago) link
i know right it's totally happening here
― REMOVE THEIR EARS (country matters), Friday, 2 January 2009 22:26 (fifteen years ago) link
at least King Crimson are sounding pretty good.
― Neil S, Friday, 2 January 2009 22:28 (fifteen years ago) link
Jonathan Coe reckons Crimson is "progressive rock at its most melodic" Geir to thread!
― Neil S, Friday, 2 January 2009 22:30 (fifteen years ago) link
Or actually on second thoughts...
― Neil S, Friday, 2 January 2009 22:31 (fifteen years ago) link
uugh "thoroughbred musical statement" fuck you ELP guy.
― Neil S, Friday, 2 January 2009 22:37 (fifteen years ago) link
Swallowing the "punk year zero" myth wholesale. Bit of a shame, except for Wyatt being reasonable and funny!
― Neil S, Friday, 2 January 2009 23:20 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, Robert Wyatt came off very well on that.
I might actually have to download some King Crimson & Soft Machine after watching that.
― I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE UP TO (Colonel Poo), Friday, 2 January 2009 23:32 (fifteen years ago) link
A little bit annoyed at constant reiteration of the canard that anything using 3 chords is unsophisticated, whereas all "prog" as narrowly defined is the epitomy of questing musicianship. Also total lack of acknowledgement that anything punk or that came after punk could be in any way considered "progressive".
― Neil S, Friday, 2 January 2009 23:35 (fifteen years ago) link
That's to be expected though really.
― I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE UP TO (Colonel Poo), Friday, 2 January 2009 23:37 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah fair point.
― Neil S, Friday, 2 January 2009 23:38 (fifteen years ago) link
There's a new Semiramis album, their first studio album since the 1973 debut, anyone heard it?
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Monday, 26 August 2024 19:17 (one month ago) link
I have not, but I did see that the people over at Progarchives really dig it, so I'm definitely curious.
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 26 August 2024 19:25 (one month ago) link
Sounds better than you'd have thought it might!
