Not many in this thread listening to my type of music but that song Deep Purple’s Child in Time is one I like very much.
Normally I listen to my collection of jazzrock and “prog” music favourites from 1970’s for example such as Return to Forever (with Chick Corea, Al Di Meola, Stanley Clark),Weather Report (Zawinul, Shorter) , Mahavishnu Orchestra (1970-1973), Yes (1971-1974),Gentle Giant (1970-1975),Genesis (before 1973, after that just crap) and on one of the best Swedish composers Bo Hansson especially his astonishing instrumental debut album Lord of the Rings - (early 1970’s) .
I explored enough music those days and am satisfied by recycling it over and over, even if the spaghetti western music by Morricone, Nicolai etc is a rather new field to enjoy. The CD soundtrack of The Big Gundown can be compared to the prog music of the 1970’s.
I’ve been on a gigantic Sly and the Family Stone kick. Before that, I was listening to Morricone pretty much exclusively. I go through phases.
Other phases have included:
Os Mutantes
The Pretty Things
Steely Dan
Miles Davis (only the electric stuff)
The Band
Sonic Youth
Pink Floyd
David Bowie
The Beach Boys/Brian Wilson
Magma
Richard Wagner
Blur
Yes
Snakefinger
Velvet Underground
Brian Eno
King Crimson
Etc.
^^King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King is one of my favorite album…I still have the original album released 50 years ago on vinyl (my father bought it when he was a teenager)… too bad the rest of their discography is kinda ‘meh’ in my opinion.
Absolutely phenomenal, must listen to more of her stuff.
Gesaffelstein - Hyperion (2019)
One of the most lazily produced, arranged and composed albums I’ve listened to in like, well, ever. I absolutely hated it on my first hearing and that didn’t change later. Some of it is so bad I couldn’t help laughing out loud at some points. The shilling campaign and the subsequent damage control campaign were some of the most hilarious and ridiculous things I’ve seen in a while. What an unequivocal disaster.
That’s surprising.
Crimson made a lot of great albums since their debut, and are still giving enthusiastic concerts. I enjoy all their albums, especially Red (1974), Discipline (1980) and Vrooom (1994).
I have only Starless and Bible Black which is VERY good. The first side with more partly conventional songs (in relation to advanced prog music of the early 70’s) but still with really beutiful themes including instrumental parts. The second side with 2 long instrumental songs. I must listen to it soon.
