Gaylord...Just got turned on to Fabiano Do Nascimento, a guitarist who carries Baden Powell torch. On Stones Throw Records. Thought you might like him, if you weren't already aware. Great player.

@Gaylord: Hahah that's true!
@Mr C: There's a three or four LP compilation released in the 1980s called "Violão Brasileiro" which features music from Baden to Toquinho passing through Bola Sete and other guys on that tradition. It's great, though I can't find it here in my house neither on the internet to share more info

I recently listened to The American Metaphysical Circus again. Can it be it is half brilliant and half forgetable? Or I simply do not get the lyrical content, satire etc ...

RE: The USA LP (etc.)- I've been delving deeper into this particular period in American pop lately. There's a definite 1967-1968 style period; mostly not quite there in '66, evolving into other things by 69.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:59pm
Guido from Cologne:

where does psych end and prog or heavy start.
not easy.
depending on dandy suits versus long hair look.
so to say
  6:00pm
P-90:

@RR: Yes! And amazing how the Beatles kept coming back with albums that were different but managed to hit the zeitgeist in the bulls-eye.
Also: Sergio Mendes, Burt Bacharach, Herb Albert hugely influential on pop (not rock) in 67-68.

KP:

Making the miles go bye-bye

V Priceless:

@ P-90: if you've not explored it yet, I recommend The Assiciation's 'Birthday' LP from '68! Perfect psychedelic sunshine pop!
Avatar 6:01pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...it's odd & interesting: bubblegum emerging in those years, Proto-Metal, return to 'Earthier' stuff after Psych
...& a lot of 'classic' Garage Rawk was later than I think - retorgressive even in its' context...Most people who like Psych like Garage & the other way, & the overlap intrigues me...
'68 was notably Political & uneasy in a particular way...

Agreed there's no clean line between psychedelic and prog. Prog was something psych bands in london just found their way to by the 70's.

V Priceless: Oh yeah, The Association is huge in that period. Also Tom Jones is ascendent in 67-68, very much emerging from that particular period.

guitar effects pedals. that is all.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:11pm

quite a few pedals did not exist yet
flanging/pasing was done manually with tape machines, produced random results and needed a lot of editing afterwards.

  6:18pm
P-90:

Prog arguably a product of psych bands that had been doing a lot of improvisational jamming and went back a to their roots in more disciplined, structured pop songwriting. And very much originally a mainly London thing. (Yes at Marquee club etc.)

@V Priceless: Aw, shucks!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:19pm
Andrew Waterloo:

@P-90, I've always thought of prog as rock taking on baroque and trying to be the legitimate art music that classical is.

Gute nacht Guido von Cologne!
Avatar 6:22pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- yeah - Prog = Rawk 'taking itself seriously' as Art - & themselves as Musicians & Composers &tc. The real 'Concept' of 'Concept Albums' was the Medium itself - the Album as one thing & as Jim Morrison said replacing the painting or novel for this particular culture...

Sgt. Pepper = the 'Classical' Music of 1967. I'm sold.

Sgt Pepper = "anything goes" + hugely succesful = license to prog, for other bands afterward

Not everybody was Mozart in 'Classical' (early Romantic symphony) either.

@p-90: One year later, the Beatles ran far away from what they wrought.
  6:35pm
V Priceless:

Procol Harum - "In Held 'Twas in I" at 17 minutes or so, in '68, was pretty unheard of back then, too! Kind of a forgotten cornerstone track for how 'prog' music would evolve.
Avatar 6:39pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...Beatles pretty much ran away from The Beatles by then...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:40pm
Gaylord Fields:

Quite true, @Revolution Rabbit Nov63.
  6:41pm
P-90:

V priceless: Procol Harem was absolutely there at the dawn of prog, also Van der graf Generator was way ahead of their time, arguably the most "avant-" band at that time, they managed to anticipate early-mid 70's prog, mid-late 70's Bowie and Ferry, and even 80's dance-pop, at a very early stage of the game.

Gaylord Fields:

Good to hear from you, @Kevlicki!
  6:49pm
P-90:

Yeah, the Beatles ran far away from "Pepper", then soon ran in four different directions! But I submit that early McCartney solo songs ('medley-style" songs) like Uncle Albert/Sgt. Halsey are very proggy and again "enabled" prog-pop like Elton's "Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" and "Roundabout" by you-know-who, both longish multi-sectional songs that charted big-time.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:50pm
Gaylord Fields:

"Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" is so, so sublime!
  6:50pm
P-90:

And directly influencedby Yes and Genesis, too.

Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

To the Prog-Haters - I do maintain that playing well & having ideas did not preclude making good records also ! (Sometimes.)
...I also maintain that the Ramones were Art - Pop Art of the highest order of Genius: very carefully Designed & extremely well-informed. (If ti's 'Art Rawk' - define 'Art'.)

I'm taking off next week's show. In my stead will be Samantha, who is making her daytime debut.
  6:55pm
P-90:

Also the "extended intro" version of "Sweet Jane" from R&R Animal ('74) is absolutely prog, "stealth prog" if you just don't associate "Lou" and "prog" at all...
