frog prog

my have az is actually the first one, Symphonie Pour Le Jour Ou Bruleront Les Cites, it seems more boisterous and just kind of crazy than all of the others, but I like most of their stuff before they got almost totally electronic, I guess in the mid or late 80s

my MESSAGE #7369140 opens the img src with a single instead of a double quote, which isn't caught by the html checker, and breaks the thread if don't turn off images

I remember liking Phase IV but I haven't heard it in a while, all I have is that double CD of the first three albums which is great but fucking exhausting

i don't love Gong, but surprised they haven't been mentioned yet

― jaxon (jaxon), Wednesday, 11 October 2006 02:49 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, Gong are definitely big influences in French prog, tho also seem not just a part of French music, but also of early Euro avant-rock (proto RIO? along w/Soft Machine, and counterparts in Zappa, Beefheart, maybe Faust in Germany). Actually, I want to be more into Gong.

/You/ is one of my favorite albums

>thought were Belgian tho

you're right, they morphed into the french-singing Honeymoon Killers which is what threw me

I haven't heard that Ange that Woebot claims is one of the three most important prog bands of France. and it's time I should go get myself another copy of You, it's been years.

― milton parker (Jon L), Wednesday, 11 October 2006 05:24 (nineteen years ago)

a friend gave me a copy of You w/o the cover art. i've only listened to it a bit and it never did it for me. i'll try again.

― jaxon (jaxon), Wednesday, 11 October 2006 05:57 (nineteen years ago)

I don't have any of this french prog.
Got a promo of some French Canadian prog a few years ago; L'infonie.
Their third album (333). It's good.

Red Noise is also famous for featuring Boris Vian's son Patrick.

i just listened to Gong's You again and felt it was just too wanky and fast. then realized i played the entire thing (and another record before it - that i felt had too little bass) on 45! doh!
