Id cast my vote for a Tull session

Dee thank you so much for 'A Passion Play' - haven't heard that in ...oh....30 years(!)   It was always my least favorite tull album back then.  I remember hearing it for the first time trying very hard to like it (I thoroughly enjoyed Thick as a Brick, but was taken aback at another Full length piece following it)  As I remember, the press was equally unimpressed (hence the track "Only Solitare" on the War Child album - which was Ian Anderson's answer to the critics).  
Sounds so different now with newer (older) ears.  Yet I remember the parts I enjoyed - great guitar by martin & the addition of sopranino sax by Ian.  I remember the synth parts as sounding cheap & uninspired as if thrown in just to get a synth on the album rather than for the piece's benefit. (a theory of mine that although synthesizers were becoming more popular - some groups were more succesful in using them in an organic way e.g. Genesis or Gentle Giant)  Anyway, I remember thinking that Tull was kind of straining to find a comfortable way of integrating the synth into their sound - I really don't think they ever did.
Ahh...Mother Goose is starting...now thats more like it!

Thanks for listening

Or maybe to include rare tracks, b-sides and bootlegs?

Very, very interesting ideas ... I've heard (some) reports that these 'Marathons' should consist of more 'rare' recordings ...  

Personally, I'm 'all Sessioned-out' out the moment but I am paying close attention to the ideas - keep them coming !!

So who's next for the 24hr treatment?

'21st Century Session' deserves a re-run as well. 8)

Quote:


I definitely think this deserves another chance. I think it needs to include as many older bands that have newer material (Yes, King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator, Marillion) as possible to balance out the newer bands that may have put people off last time. Maybe ensure that we don't go say more than an hour without a Yes track being played for example. Is it only Magnification that would qualify?

This is what I said in a previous post regarding this:
Focus on new music released since 2000 for example. The '21st Century Session'. This would still include bands like Yes and King Crimson who are still going strong but also feature newer bands like Mars Volta, Pocupine Tree, IQ, Spocks Beard, Pineapple Thief, Radiohead, Dream Theatre, Riverside et al. Thus illustrating what a healthy scene Progressive Rock still is.

It's all about getting a good balance between old school prog and the different directions that newer bands are taking progressive music in.

I think I've started rambling now. Hope this makes some sort of sense.

And if anyone wants another Marillion session just say the word.

Whos gonna be first and when?

Quote:


Sounds good to me. 

Hmmm... please forgive my ignorance . . is there a band called Fish or would that be any songs loosely pertaining to fish...
Like...Trout Mask Replica (cap'n beefheart) or The Fish (chris squire)...Poles Apart (pink floyd)...how about The Family and the Fishing Net (peter gabriel)??

just wondering
-btn

Have to agree that a Tull session would be good, however, I think a Camel session would also be good as someone else suggested.

Any news on a Fish marathon??

Quote:


There will definitely another Marillion Session at some point soon. Either a repeat of the first or one that is new - if Silver is up to compiling a new one that is ... 8)

A sitar session would be sweet.  8)

Hmm.. I'd actually be interested in seeing a list of any songs with sitar in the prog genre. (can't thing of one myself)

Dee - I was just going to correct myself - there's a track on the Cluster/Eno disc with Sitar called - One.  But there aren't many more I could think of (apart from the Beatles or Stones).  There is an instrumental group from the Netherlands called Flairk that use the Sitar - not exactly Prog, but very close - all other groups I know would fall into the jazz rhelm (Oregon, Shankar, Jan Garbarek).
Love the sound of it (in small doses!) though!

Quote:


Hmmm ... I know it sounds like a sitar but I'm not entirely convinced it is a sitar being played on 'I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)'. I have a funny feeling it's the same instrument that Steve Howe uses from time to time (a 'guitar harp' ??). I'll investigate and come back to everyone on this.

In the meantime, how about this titbit regarding 'I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)' ...

"This was written for a Genesis' roadie from 1971-1973. His name was Jacob Finster, and he could never hold jobs - he was a lawn mower, a pawn store clerk and a cashier. By the time he died, he worked in a doughnut shop where he overdosed on heroin. This song struck a chord with adolescents struggling with their future and living in the middle of doubt."

Speaking of I Know What I Like - have you heard the Platinum Collecton remasters of the Gabriel era Genesis - incredible sound - strikingly superior to the previous remasters!!!
