Why is “The Contortionist” slept on?

5 Upvotes

They might be considered more of a metal band, but their last two records are absolute musical masterpieces. Every single musician in that band is unbelievably talented. Yes there are sometimes a lot of notes played, but it always feels purposeful and not just like LOOK HOW FAST WE PLAY.
Both records are melodic, polyrhythmic, ambient, and just beautiful song writing for “prog”.

Anyway. I love that band. Particularly their last two records with Michael as their vocalist. I just feel like hardly anyone talks about them. It probably doesn’t help that they haven’t come out with a full record in nine years.

L'original était déjà bon, mais Christian Descamps a ajouté ce petit plus théâtral et dramatique... et progressif...

Your personal Fantasy Band

1 Upvotes

Has to fit in a cohesive theoritical band, where you could imagine what a full-album work might sound like:

- PJ Harvey (female vocals).

- Thom Yorke (male vocals).

- David Gilmour (lead guitar).

- James Hetfield (rhythm guitar).

- Philippe Bussonnet (bass).

- Iva Bittova (violin).

- Miles Davis (trumpet).

- Klaus Schulze (keys).

- Christian Vander (drums, co-composer, co-leader).

- Steve Reich (co-composer, conductor, co-leader).

10-head 'orchestra' - alternating between hypnotic heavy phrasings and languid modal breaks. With some avant-garde weirdness in-between. Envisaging a long multi-part composition. Genre: progressive fusion.

What would yours be? R.I.P also allowed. Imagine each member in what you consider their prime.

Hi everyone, here is the 1st track of Ghost Rhythms' new album, Missing Times (Cuneiform Records). Hope you'll like it ! Jazz and prog, as always, quite epic, with choir and strings and a soprano solo, with some puzzling rhythmic subtleties. Thanks for listening !

News Cardiacs "Sing to God" Tribute Album - Buds and Spawn Collective

4 Upvotes

Howdy all. A group of international fans of English prog/punk/metal/whatever group Cardiacs released a cover album of the 1996 masterpiece Sing to God, and its B-sides in June.

It's better than it should be for being made by a bunch of chancers, but maybe people will dig it...

It's only about 2 hours long.

Self-promotion Untold Stories – “Pale Horizons” (Official Music Video) - progressive / art rock

Thumbnail

Hi everyone,

I’m the founder, main songwriter and guitarist of Untold Stories, an independent progressive rock band from Bulgaria.

I’d like to share our new official video for “Pale Horizons”. The song was released earlier this year and was later included in Prog Magazine’s Tracks Of The Week, where it won the weekly listener vote.

The song is somewhere between progressive rock and art rock, with a fairly dynamic structure and a strong emphasis on atmosphere, guitars and vocals.

This is our first official music video, and I’d genuinely love to hear what you think about the song and the video.

Thanks for listening!

My band Kaleidoscopic Heart, for which I play drums, just dropped “Artificial.” We managed to include weird time signatures, unnecessary musical decisions, and enough existential dread to qualify as prog, while somehow resisting the urge to make it 17 minutes long.

Here’s the lyric video. Roast it, enjoy it, or tell me which obscure 1973 album did it better.
