progressive rock recordings / bands

[Dabndug]

Robert Fripp side projects:

The album Exposure, trying to work prog into the three minute pop song format, with Peter Gabriel and Daryl Hall making contributions, amongst others; and

The Fripp/David Sylvian album The First Day, with Trey Gunn and Jerry Marotta along for the ride.

 

[Jebberz]

You mentioned Trasantlantic - give Marillion a listen, same bass player and he is fabulous.
It's like if Pink Floyd and Genesis had a love child that grew apart of their parents to find his own voice.

The Fripp/David Sylvian album The First Day, with Trey Gunn and Jerry Marotta along for the ride.

My favorite record ever.

I like to put a lot of music on a thumb drive to listen to in my car. I have a good variety of music. I am looking to find more progressive rock recordings that I can rip to mp3 / wma format.

Pink Floyd - Animals album. It's pretty much one song.

 

[Tim Skaggs]

Jeff Beck!!

I used to be OBSESSED with prog until I found my true calling, grunge and alt-metal

Let me impart some wisdom, by sharing my five favorite prog albums (KILLER bass parts too):

Relayer - Yes
Hemispheres - Rush
Wind and Wuthering - Genesis
U.K. - U.K. (King Crimson- Allan Holdsworth supergroup. Awesome stuff.)
Larks' Tongues In Aspic - King Crimson

All should be easy to find as downloads. Happy listening!

There was a band I knew of a few years ago that did some prog rock over the years.

 

[SactoBass]

The Gates of Delirium is one of my all-time favorite pieces of music. Our reason to be here!

The pineapple thief

Going to see these guys next month. I can't frickin' wait. I just got into them this year as I was trying to find something to replace the now defunct Porcupine Tree. I happened to find another PT band that Gavin Harrison played drums on. Win-win there.

Would love it if they came to my town. Anything GH is on gets my interest.

In addition to a lot of the old stalwarts from the 1970s already mentioned in this thread, I’ve been digging more recent work by:
- District 97
- Thank You Scientist
- Birds And Buildings
- Battles
- The Pineapple Thief
- 05Ric

many thumbs up for District 97. Other than the lead singer, they look like the chess club but they are awesome musicians making interesting music.

 

[LowDownHawkeye]

District 97...
But I’m extremely biased

love this band. Hoping they have more coming after In Vaults.

edit: shows what I know. screens is out.

Big Big Train: Very Genesis like, but with a modern twist. Excellent stuff!

Hasse Froberg: One of the singer and guitar players from The Flower Kings. His solo stuff is a bit more straightforward, but great nonetheless.

Rikard Sjolblum / Beardfish. Whether solo or leading Beardfish, some really great music!

Karmakanic: Another side project of Bassist Jonas Reingold

Neal Morse - Not sure if he's already been mentioned, but his solo prog work is terrific.

 

[Thumpin6string]

One of my favorites from the 80s and 90s is these guys. Kind of progressive meets fusion.

Another one that is more local here in California, but they tour all over. Again progressive meets fusion. Great bass player too.

Porcupine Tree (Steven Wilson)

Stars Die: killer fretless bass

 

[socialleper]

Riverside
Karnivool

I saw them a few months back. Phil is no longer on drums but, man, what a show. Percy Jones has never gotten the recognition he deserves, that's for sure.

Never saw them with Phil (fortunately I had that covered with Genesis all those early years (1973-1977).

As to Percy, every time we'd gotten to see each other we would talk about that and a bunch of related things, like, why are we doing $50 nights with small audiences! Sad. He was my "mentor/first influence" into fretless bass playing.
