Once I was listening a radio broadcast talking about progressive music.
They were talking about the 70s progressive rock habit to compose lenghty tunes, even 20 minutes long...
And they defined this as a sort of compulsive effort to fight Horror Vacui (Fright of the Void)...
I laughed my ass off
So there you have it: Horror Vacui: the progressive thread...
You can post here:
- links to video/tunes related to whatever sub-branch of progressive music
- torrent uploads about progressive music
- discussions on related bands (even bios, anecdotes...)
- discussions of music theory (I want to see who has the guts to do this LOL)
You WON'T post here:
- religion wars or polls about who/which sucks or who/which rules... for these childish practises start a thread on your own if you like.

Keep in mind that you won't listen here the usual MTV 3 minutes crap interspersed with commercial ads...
You need some concentration to grasp this music, and the first listening is not usually sufficient...

So just to begin:
00:00 - The Revealing Science of God (Dance of the Dawn)
22:22 - The Remembering (High the Memory)
43:00 - The Ancient (Giants under the Sun)
1:01:26 - Ritual (Nous sommes du soleil)
Psychedelic ancient ruins, flying coelacantha...
A Roger Dean album cover undoubtedly... and one of the most beautiful albums of my beloved Yes:
Tales from Topographic Oceans.
