I like Koenjihyakkei too. Ruins related band for anyone who doesn't know.

A lot of their stuff is mediocre or corny, but the Dream Theater albums Images and Words/Awake/Scenes from a Memory are prog perfection.

Re: Your Prog Rock favourites?
I've seen you mention Dream Theatre a few times, it's interesting because while ELP are quite divisive among prog fans, I don't know anyone who likes Dream Theatre, yet they're definitely a successful band.

Re: Your Prog Rock favourites?
Really worth seeing is the documentary Romantic Warriors: Rock In Opposition. It's got Henry Cow, Magma, Univers Zero, Art Zoyd, Ruins, Knifeworld and quite a few more. It's really inspiring to see all these people who don't make much money and don't expect to, but are in loads of bands and keep at it. Seems like a benefit is that prog is perhaps more of an international genre than a lot of other rock/pop music?

Art Zoyd - <i>44 1/2 : Live and Unreleased Works Box Set</i> [12xCD + 2xDVD + 48 page Book] with Exclusive T-Shirt (this price for the USA only)<br> - Wayside Music


I really wish I could afford this because they're not releasing it unless they get enough pre-orders. I feel bad because I always wish Art Zoyd were one of the most popular prog bands but I can't shell out for this. Spread the word if you know anyone who might like this.

More John Wetton goodness.

Speaking of Wetton (RIP), has anyone heard Mogul Thrash?

Put your faith in death, because it's free.
If you believe in nothing, honey, it believes in you.

Re: Your Prog Rock favourites?
Alexander Gradsky does all sorts, singer-songwriter, composer, opera singer and quite a bunch of his work fits quite nicely in prog.
Been meaning to buy some albums someday but last time I checked there's very little written about him in English despite him being a fairly big deal in Russia.

I love the song that starts around 6:15 and really wish I could get a soundtrack of this.
A lot of the still images are by the great Anatoly Fomenko.
