"get rid of any psychedelic rock sound"



what is Moonchild

Album Rating: 5.0

eh..have to listen to it again.

Album Rating: 5.0

But I think the point Fripp was trying to make is that you could make music without necessary following the psychedelic influence and still make a great album.

Album Rating: 5.0

idk I guess Moonchild is a bit psychedelic, but I hear a distinct "academic" approach to the improv. Probably why people hate it so much haha. "I Talk to the Wind" is a bit psychedelic too but more just the lyrics.

Album Rating: 5.0

What would you consider the first "pure prog" album, Fripper?

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

no clue, there's about five or so albums that would fit the bill

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

give me some requirements or something to go off of and i'd probably state a few

Album Rating: 5.0

Well it can't have psychedelic rock or blues. Idk it's not very clear cut haha

If not Court, there are a few from 1970 that would fit the bill.

Sandy Bull's Fantasias for Guitar & Banjo (1963) in terms of "progressive"

Album Rating: 5.0

That's a good album, but it's also proto-psych and it does have some blues. It is "progressive" for sure.

Pretty funny. pos.

Dude how is that album psych in any way?

Never delete this review. Please.

Album Rating: 5.0

I didn't read the review at all, but I'm expecting a constructive criticism to progressive rock bands from a contemporary point of view. Here are some points that makes a prog album "bad" from someone who listens average pop songs:



1) the songs are SOOOOOOOOO long and boring.



2) I got lost at the middle of the song



3) The lyrics are written by an Asimov wannabe writer.



4) The guitar technique doesn't make sense.



5) I'd rather prefer listening to Bach than a band trying to emulate him.



6) What's the point of making "movements" inside the songs.



7) Radios know that 10-minute songs are a waste of time.



8) Tales from topographic oceans is one of the worst things that happened in the 70's

The guitar technique doesn't make sense.

the review is a joke ._.

Album Rating: 4.0

An unfunny one, too.

"Radios know that 10-minute songs are a waste of time."

lol

Album Rating: 5.0

I mean that Fripp created his own guitar tunning and he created the frippertonics, and that's something that an average listener would probably find weird.

he also created a contributing reviewer on sputnikmusic dot com
