You can then use the ‘esc’ button on your keypad to come back out. PROG ROCK (PR) started in the mid-1960s, and followed the anti-war flower-power era of free love. Probably the best- known track from that time, and most likely will be for years to come, is ‘21st Century Schizoid Man’ by KING CRIMSON. However, prior to that brilliant piece of work, the movement started with the likes of THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN and his ‘Fire’, and the 3-piece band THE NICE, fronted by keyboard player extraordinaire Keith Emerson, who later formed EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER. Greg Lake was originally with King Crimson and Carl Palmer played the drums with The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. Emerson, Lake & Palmer was the first of the super groups, preceded by British prog rock maestros YES and GENSIS, and later, many others. As a new genre, it was never really accepted in the USA, and I wonder if that had anything to with Keith Emerson who, with The Nice, produced the electrifying track ‘America’, during the playing of which, he stabbed knives into the Hammond Organ, and set fire to the Stars & Stripes flag, a regular event at his concerts, one of which I was present at in Bath in 1968.

  • Ray Wilson Ua Zu „
    Ray Wilson u.a. zu „Time And Distance“ “20 Jahre nach Calling All Stations“ oder „Re-Boot nach dem Genesis-Ende“ Der ehemalige Genesis-Sänger Ray Wilson ist aktuell wieder auf Tour, mit einem neuen Live-Doppelalbum im Gepäck, aus dem Ausschnitte auch beim diesjährigen Night Of The Prog Festival auf der Loreley vorgestellt wurden. Es gilt, das 20jährige Jubiläum des letzten Genesis-Studioalbums „Calling All Stations“ zu feiern, auf dem Wilson bekanntlich als Nachfolger von Phil Collins agierte. Genug Gesprächsstoff also, und Ray Wilson stellte sich bereitwillig den Fragen und erwies sich als ausgesprochen angenehmer Gesprächspartner. Zunächst die unausweichlichen Fragen zu Genesis, beginnend damit, wie es eigentlich dazu kam. Als Phil Collins Genesis verließ, war ich mit meiner Band Stiltskin bei der gleichen Plattenfirma unter Vertrag. Genesis hatten damals bei Virgin nachgefragt, ob man dort Ideen für die Nachfolge hätte. Virgin hatte dann Genesis die Stiltskin- Musik geschickt. Die Band hörte sich das an und fand, dass die Stimme etwas hat und zu ihrer Neuausrichtung passen könnte. Ich wurde eingeladen und sang acht Songs ausCollins und Gabriels Phase vor. Dann haben wir uns zusammengesetzt und ein paar neue Songs ausprobiert. Ich brachte selbst dann ein paar Ideen ein, sowohl Musik als auch Texte betreffend. Und das war es auch schon – es waren gerade mal zwei Treffen mit einem Monat Abstand, und dann war es entschieden, ich hatte den Job. Wenn eine Band, die sehr stark auch mit dem Frontmann assoziiert wird, einen Nachfolger suchen muss – ist es besser einen Klon zu suchen oder neue Wege zu gehen? Wie lief das bei dir? Es mag natürlich sein, dass es für jemanden mit einer sehr Collins-ähnlichen Stimme einfacher gewesen wäre, aber es war wohl auch von Mike und Tony beabsichtigt, wieder etwas mehr in Richtung der früheren Gabriel-Zeiten zu klingen, deswegen habe ich wohl auch den Job bekommen.

Lorsque nous vous avons concocté ce méga dossier Floyd, nous ne savions pas que l'actualité nous rattraperait ainsi. Ce sont les hasards de la vie... Au décès de Syd il faut hélas ajouter celui d'Arthur Lee, l'emblématique leader du groupe culte Love. A 60 ans également... Pink Floyd et Love. Deux des principaux représentants du mouvement psychédélique. L'anglais et l'américain qui se sont mutuellement inspirés. Encore une coïncidence... Dans quelques instants, vous allez découvrir la seconde partie du dossier Pink Floyd. Chose promise, chose due c'est de nouveau une interview en face à face (merci Benoît !) -celle de Nick Mason-, illustrée par des photos originales (bravo Serge) qui ouvre le bal. Vous lirez ensuite le compte-rendu du concert événement que Laurent Voulzy... euh, Roger Mason... Waters (j'y perd mon latin) a donné à Magny-Cours le 14 juillet 2006. Si nous avons résisté à la tentation de la rétrospective historique, il nous a quand même semblé intéressant de revenir sur quelques albums "oubliés" du Floyd. Puis, l'équipe du Koid’9 a souhaité rendre hommage au travail solo de Syd Barrett (RIP), David Gilmour, Nick Mason et Rick Wright. Personne avant nous, ne vous avez proposé un travail complet sur la carrière solo des membres de Pink Floyd.

  • Large-Scale Strategy and Compositional Design in the Early Music of Genesis
    Copyrighted Material 12 Large-Scale Strategy and Compositional Design in the Early Music of Genesis MARK SPICER Th e title of this chapter might remind some readers of an article by Andrew Mead that appeared in Perspectives of New Music more than two decades ago (Mead 1985), in which the author used sophisticated set-theoretic analytical techniques to dig beneath the surface of Arnold Schoenberg’s music, disclos- ing a “large-scale strategy” at work within several of the twelve-tone composi- tions. Mead had the advantage of writing for a scholarly community already well convinced of Schoenberg’s genius. I suspect the idea of placing the music of the British rock group Genesis in the same league as Schoenberg would be greeted with considerable skepticism—if not downright horror—by many musicologists, and this is certainly not my intent in the present essay. (Alas, it will probably require some drastic revolutions in taste before such early- Genesis classics as “Th e Return of the Giant Hogweed” are admitted into the canon of twentieth-century masterworks.) But I do hope to show that despite being several musical worlds removed from Schoenberg, Genesis’ music is rich, diverse, and equally worthy of our analytical attention. One of the most infl uential and long-lasting of the so-called “progressive rock” bands that emerged in Britain around 1970 in the wake of the Beatles, Genesis is probably better known to most pop-rock fans as the supergroup who made frequent appearances on the Billboard charts during the 1980s and early 1990s, with
