Progressive rock / metal

This next one was how they started the gig. Is there a better clean riff? And that solo at the end. Love how he starts it.... what a tone!

I'm listening, I'm listening. You said make fun of the man's face...

I went to Camel yesterday. Really, these solos go straight through the heart. I am so impressed. Andrew Latimer owns...

Adrian Smith? :p
Mosh, there was just no need to mention Mr Smith...

... was merely respectable? I'm missing the close up of his face, to be honest.

Thanks for posting. Glad you enjoyed yourself.

Cool new band that's releasing their debut album in October. Heard of them because their drummer is also playing in Leprous and they'll also open for that band when I see them in October. Anyway, this song is very cool.
 
Nice Jethro Tull documentary from 1969, from The Rockpalast Archives!
The band had two albums out back then. The 2nd one, Stand Up, was out for two months, and it is probably my favourite Tull album.
Nice moment when you see Ian Anderson's parents checking the charts! :)

This song exemplifies everything I don't get about modern prog: it just sounds like post rock. Droning melodies, mid-tempo, hammering some chords over heavy, simplistic keyboards, overly serious tone...I don't get it. Why has the majority of prog metal become either A. droning and melancholic, or B. a modern evolution of metalcore/emo bands with terrible singers and endless djenting?

I'll take either of those over all the Dream Theater clones that littered the last decade. Plus there are still bands like Haken and BTBAM who are doing different things with prog metal without fitting those two categories. BTBAM had some metalcore influence in their first few albums but it's completely absent in their new one.

Anyway, I liked the post rock influence. That was a cool song.
 
Well, I'm listening to this for the first time. Don't know much about them except that they're Italian and playing a kind of jazz rock similar to the Canterbury scene. Think The Soft Machine etc. But also with some very heavy kraut rock influences. On this track they almost go into full cosmical space travel ethereal style for a moment, like something Gong would do, before settling down towards the end with some more harmonic stuff with both male and female voices.

Oh and the cover art is very beautiful. Check it out!

Very Symphony X-ish. Better than all but 2 songs from last 3 SX albums at least :p And the guitars are gazillion times better and more melodic than what Romeo's been doing.

First new Electric Light Orchestra in 14 years. This song posted by Jeff Lynne today; album out in November.

It's decent but it is still somewhat disappointing considering how enjoyable old ELO is. I love pretty much every album up to and including Time (that one is my favourite actually) and have a soft spot for the title track of Secret Messages but beyond that is just frustrating.
