Progressive
& Symphonic Rock Music - one of our major music departments.
Here you'll find a fantastic range recordings selected from our
main database which is loaded up with in excess of 8,000
titles available worldwide. There is simply a huge range of top
quality titles to check out. From late 60's through to the start
of this new millennium, there have been a lot of very good 'Progressive'
/ 'Symphonic' groups and individual artists arriving and departing
from the scene. This genre of music has also seen some sensational
new bands coming from all corners of the world: Flower Kings,
Glass Hammer, Porcupine Tree, RPWL and Spock's
Beard to name but five, that are now out-selling the older
major players from the many phases of the 'Progressive Rock'
movement's revival. Of the 'big-names' the obvious main players
are around in some form or another and a few are still thriving.
Top acts like Genesis, ELP, King Crimson,
Pink Floyd, Strawbs and Yes still have a
large and loyal fan-base, with the later arrivals from 'phase
2' of the 'Progressive' movement like Asia, IQ,
Marillion, Pallas & Pendragon all arriving on
the scene in the 80's and also still operating today. Then there's
the type of Prog Rock artist who crosses over into other genres
- Gandalf is a good
example of this. Deemed by some to be Prog Rock yet viewed by
others as a creator of highly stylised electronic/synthesizer
music.There have also been successful comeback albums from less
well-known bands out of the 70's, the most notable being the sensational
90's album from the 70's Vertigo label band: Gracious!
