Hey Rocker....would Forever Changes have been considered progressive art rock & fusion if the terms had neen invented yet? FC is definitely PROGRESSIVE in the forward sense, and fused a number of genres!!

McLUHAN-"Anomaly" 1970
I would best be be to describe it as Art Rock--
The Flock meets Frank Zappa meets John McLaughlan meets Chick Corea meets King Krimson meets Chicago meets 30's radio bizzarro...
...inventive progressive use of horns, strange lyrics, strange eerie mellotron, in three tracks that bridge Chicago styled horns, Zappa orchestration, Adams Family zaniness in a serious musical ride, flutes and amazing guitar work.
It's a unique listening experience..give it a shot!
Listen to the full lp here--

East Coast band...? Can't find much about them.
d/l here-
http://ezhevika.blogspot.com/2009/08/mcluhan-anomaly-1972.html
McLuhan was a US prog rock/jazz fussion band of the east coast. McLuhan was a concept and a mixed-media group where no particular musical venue or style would necessarily prevail. The creator of the idea was David Wright who composed most of the music and wrote the lyrics on their only album. The idea was to try different things in performances including special sound effects such as baby's crying, various weird instruments, background sounds, playing old movies during their performance ("Monster Bride" was actually Bride of Frankenstein and in live performance they would turn on the movie at the point where the 20th Century Fox theme is played). The medium was the message, not the content. Labels didn't matter. The Wise-Fools Pub on Lincoln Avenue in Chicago hired McLuhan to perform every Monday night and they developed a small local following. Their performance got really tight, and eventually led to a record contract. McLuhan only was together for about 1 to 1 ½ years, and they never had a live performance promoting their album... since the very last thing they did was produce Anomaly. It got some obscure radio play but was "dead" as far as the band knew. Anomaly's concept and ideas sound advanced for its time of release (1970). Uniquely American art-rock in a brassy and groovy kind of way. Over the years its become cult album. David Wright - Trumpet/Vocals, Paul Cohn - Flute/Clarinet/Sax, Neal Rosner - Bass/Vocals, John Mahoney - Drums/Vocals, Micahael Linn - Drums, Dennis Stoney Philips - Guitar/Vocals and Tom (Tojza) Laney - Organ/Piano. Bobby Christian-Timpani, xylophone and chimes on Bride and Brief Message.
01 - The Monster Bride
02 - Spiders (In Neil's Basement)
03 - Witches Theme And Dance
04 - A Brief Message From Your Local Media
I) The Garden
II) The Assembly Line
III) Electric Man
IV) Question

Polyphony-"Without Introduction" 1971
Juggernaut
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHtpgJZBqys
Polyphony’s "Without Introduction" is renowned for being a highly-collectable and listenable album of psych/prog jams reminiscent of some of the British or Italian psych monsters from the early ‘70s. Released in 1971 on the Eleventh Hours label (Eleventh Hour 1003), this hard progressive rock outfit from Virginia features some stunning guitar and keyboard work, as well as a percussionist at home on congas, timbales and just about everything hittable. The band is definitely influenced by early UK exponents of prog including Keith Emerson, Steve Howe and Peter Gabriel. The stunning original artwork lends itself perfectly to the album’s inspired music.

FRUMPY
Another great 70's Kraurock group ...and unlike the general myth...all Krautrock is NOT progressive. It is all genres--hard rock, folk rock, jazz rock, psych, and progressive yes.
FRUMPY...
Frumpy was a German progressive rock band (I disagree---they are straight ahead hard rock!) based in Hamburg, which was active between 1970–1972 and 1990–1995. Formed after the break-up of folk rockers The City Preachers, Frumpy released four albums between 1970–1973 and achieved considerable commercial success. The German press hailed them as the best German rock band of their time and their vocalist Inga Rumpf as the "greatest individual vocal talent" of the contemporary German rock scene. They disbanded in 1972 although the various members all worked together at various times over the following two decades and they reunited again in 1989, producing three more albums over five years after which they disbanded once more. -wiki

Perhaps we can put the "it just fell over accidentally" explanation alongside John Lennon's story that "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" came from a drawing of his son's and title wasn't an anachronym for LSD.(is anachronuym the word I'm looking for here?)Whether or not the accident story is true,doesn't matter.Makes a wonderfully surreal statement about life in genereal either way.As well as Johnny Echols' prayer pose! |

Yeah....the "light" gives an even more mystical meaning to the famous broken vase....it had to have meant more than just Michael accidentally kicking it over, and Arthur blithely picking it up for next next shot!

Anyone remember eighties heavy metal band the Scorpions?I remember they had two really big ones "No One Like You" and I can't recall the other but they were really good.Floods of teen memories when I hear these.I kind of used to go for Def Leppard as well.The sounds of "Pyromania" were inescapable everywhere from the radio dial to MTV when it was REALLY MTV!They were really hot in '88 with "Pour Some Sugar on Me" and the "Hysteria" LP.Also,at some the stoner parties of my youth,some friends got me into some Megadeth and Metallica,two bands I normally didn't listen to all too often,but it was FANTASTIC party atmosphere soundtrack!Then I would leave the party just a little earlier than everyone else,lay down with my head spinning and put on the Moody Blues' neo-classical "Days of Future Passed".Now THAT was a Friday night! |
