Re: The album running-commentary and general listening discussion thread. Part 4!

Crazy World?

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

With the Alan Parson's project done and the Family album added, does that mean we've done all of the major PROG-sters?



I think we did Van Der Graaf Generator's Still Life on the old forum.

I think it's only Tangerine Dream, and we've done the big Krautrockers too...

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

Wonder if we should do a Marillion album?

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

Strawbs? The Soft Machine? Renaissance? Rush? Camel?

Actually, have we done a Soft Machine one? Or am I getting them confused with the Soft Boys, again?

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Have we done a Yes album?

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

Yes.

Close to the Edge.

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

Maybe we could do their 1980 Drama album with ya man out of Buggles on vocals and keyboards?

Maybe we could do that one with Owner of Lonely Heart on it? I've not heard anything of their's past Going for the One.

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

I was going to suggest a Marillion album with that guy who isn't Fish in it, which is something I've been meaning to get around to for the last 30 years, but they all seem to go on for 3 weeks. And those singles on Top of the Pops were rotten.

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

Camel sound like Prog by numbers.

We've not done Jade Warrior, who seem quite good, ambiently. Ooh, I know who we've not done,



Gryphon!

[Butterfield]

Maybe we could do that one with Owner of Lonely Heart on it?

I bought that album from a charity shop a few years ago, expecting it all to be like Owner of a Lonely Heart, with those synth orchestra "stab" sounds and other 80s thrills, but most of it was just bland and generic guitar rock.

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

Can √
Neu! √
Amon Düül II √
Faust √
Harmonia
Ash Ra Tempel
Agitation Free
Guru Guru
Kraftwerk √
Tangerine Dream
Cluster √

I've never heard of Agitation Free. Harmonia only did 2 albums so I'm counting them under Cluster/Neu!

Should we do Cluster, Kluster or Qluster?

[Nightjar]

We did Liliental as well.

Nope, no recollection at all.

I think my memory's going, I hear that's what happens in your autumnal years.



The more I think about it, the more I think we did that exact Cluster album on the old forum I think my memory's going, I hear that's what happens in your autumnal years.


That list I stole off Wikipedia didn't have Popol Vuh,  or Embryo thinking about it.


or Grobschnitt  


Even if they were more prog than Krautrock, ditto for Birth Control and Jane.

[Nightjar]

Did we do ever Tubliar Bells?

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I don't think so.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I considered us doing one of his more modern albums but it was hours and hours long, so I decided not to.

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

I've heard some people prefer Toobler Bells II to I,

I've not heard anything of his past Ommadawn.

[Fangirl Three]

I've heard some people prefer Toobler Bells II to I,

I am one such

[Nightjar]

I like Ommadawn best.
