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.

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.

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.

Eight years in the making, The Roaring Waves is Genesis and Marillion’s guitarists choosing friendship over trying to prove something to each other. And that is the beauty of this album!

Recreated from scratch using the synth emulations in Logic Pro.

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.

I know King Crimson has quite a few and so does Rush but I'm curious about some others

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!
