I’ve heard Wish You Were Hear, The Wall and DAOTM more times than I can count and I love them (not in that order) - and then today I saw a post on IG and it used the song Pig Man as its music.

I’ve said so many times in my life that I wish I could hear DSOTM again for the first time bc it totally blew me away - even more so than any Beatles album and I’m a HUGE Beatles fan.

It’s almost too good to be true that I have an entire album of Pink Floyd to discover! Something I can listen to from beginning to end for the first time and an album clearly among their greatest.

So I have to go to the dispensary and then on we go!

Hello. Could anyone help me with making a “path” of Mike Oldfield’s albums to listen to? I was into Tubular Bells III 15 years ago, especially The Top of the Morning and Man in the Rain, but I never actually listened to his music more than that album, Ommadown and Moonlight shadow as a single. I like his world music approach very much. I accept every help from you. 

I recently dusted off two amazing prog live albums, Earthbound, and Le Orme in Concerto.

Both are spectacular. Both also sound bad. Like, really really bad.

And that got me thinking, we prog folk don't have much luck when it comes to live albums.

Earthbound, In Concerto, even the absolute classics like Yessongs, Welcome back my friends...., or Genesis Live leave a lot to be desired, sonically.

But that realization sent me down a wonderful rabbit hole of similar albums.

I covered my discoveries in the latest Needle Talk letter.

Ich habe in den letzten Wochen angefangen Rush zu hören und habe mittlerweile 6 Alben gehört.
Moving Pictures, A Farewell to Kings, 2112, Hemispheres, Fly by Night und Permanent Waves

Die drei erst genannten sind meine Favoriten
Mit welchem Alben sollte ich weitermachen/ welches könnt ihr mir empfehlen

These 80's efforts are in my personal-favourites, yet rarely see anyone mention them. Even Youtube doesn't have them in full-album format. I have them on CD.

- Introduction by Shub Niggurath: moody atmospheric psychedelic instrumental, with some dark-angel vocals. Superior to their later album which had some of the same compositions. Excellent sound on a big fat system. Full album officially here:

- A Fiïèh by Offering: more well-known as Magma, this side-project had its ups & downs but they finished with this beautiful stunning album. The first 3 tracks especially are godly. Here's the title track, sounding like a sermon from the heavens:

- Carmina Burana by Ray Manzarek: the Doors keysman does his version of proto-zeuhl monster Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. Rock + Orff is delicious! Here's the famous bit:

Share your impressions of these and also your trio of candidates of 'lesser-known yet favourite prog albums' :D

Been calling this "progadelic" music after I heard Sean Lennon describe his project that way. I play guitar and sing in this project. Is this a better fit in prog rock or math rock?

Hello all! We have an album coming out on October 2nd, it's the culmination of 3 EPs. I wanted to share one of the proggier tracks on the album - we call ourselves Garage Prog, because we're proggier than most rock, but it would be nuts to say we're the same genre as bands like Yes and Flower Kings. I would say we're about as proggy as Supertramp, but you'll have to be the judge.

This one was heavily inspired by two albums - Grace Under Pressure, by Rush, and Stormfront by Billy Joel. I think they both have a very serious tone in the instrumentals that give the songs a mature vibe. But just to be a little immature we made the song about The Mothman.

Please feel free to tell me what you think - especially if you hate it. I'll be here answering questions.

Hi,

I just wanted to share a cover I just uploaded to my new YouTube channel. I did the full song of Redemption by Airbag, playing all the parts as an experiment in production, audio and video. I think my video skills have the furthest to come but please let me know what you think! Also, I plan on doing more modern and classic prog covers, so please consider subscribing since it’s a brand new channel. Be well! 🎸❤️🤘

Must be prog rock and under 6 minutes
Please and thank you
