June 2021 Music Supplement Brixworth and District Newsletter Learn, laugh, live Registered Charity No 1178196 Issue 74 June 2021 PROGRESSIVE ROCK MUSIC SUPPLEMENT Helpful hint: Once the ‘YouTube’ video appears, once you have clicked on the links below, and after skipping the adverts, you may or may not know, that you can click on the 4-cornered square icon (usually bottom right of the screen on the tool bar, along with the /volume/stop/start/pause/ icons) which will fill the whole screen. 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. So, that track is the first one for this PR Supplement. The Nice – America - YouTube By contrast, and to demonstrate how PR has become more sophisticated, the next track from 2011 by STEVEN WILSON, previously with Porcupine Tree, uses a beautiful choir of voices at the end – which is wonderful and well worth waiting for, right up to the fade out. ‘Postcard’ really is a case of “from the sublime to the ridiculous” but in reverse. In between 1968 and today, many PR bands have enhanced their sound by playing alongside full orchestras, and this can be seen in some of the following tracks. Steven Wilson – Postcard - Bing In the USA, two of the greatest exponents of PR have, for many decades now, been head-and-shoulders above the rest, and still command big crowds whenever they play, which I can vouch for, having seen both bands live. They are KANSAS (formed in 1972 and still going strong today), whose brilliance comes across with meaningful lyrics and towering melodies and powerful riffs, adequately displayed by their outstanding ‘Carry on Wayward Son’, and DREAM THEATER (1988-2016), featuring the amazing John Petrucci on guitar, with ‘The Dance of Eternity’. Kansas – Carry On Wayward Son - YouTube Dream Theater – The Dance of Eternity - YouTube WOW. If you enjoyed that, you may like to stay on YouTube to listen to the next track which pops up automatically, unless you switch off. That next track by Dream Theater, is a 26-minute mega-track from the same concert. Page 1 of 2 After being wowed by the phenomenal guitar playing of John Petrucci, deemed to be one of the best ‘guitar shredders’ in the world, you may want things to quieten things down a bit. Proving PR has doesn’t have to be loud and heavy, and only played by men, the next two tracks come from the more recent stock of bands playing PR here in the UK. The first is by a little-known band, PUMAROSA, with their 2017 track ‘Dragonfly’. The second, not-so-loud piece of music is from London based PUBLIC SYMPHONY, who produced a very promising debut album back in 2006, and had it remastered in 2010. Sadly, since then have produced very little by way of new recordings. The track I have selected is ‘Fill Your Wings’, which is technically outstanding, and leaves the listener wanting to hear more. Pumarosa – Dragonfly- YouTube Public Symphony – Fill Your Wings - YouTube Now we look back at a couple of the classic Prog Rock tracks from the past, starting with, undeniably the best of them from Europe, the Amsterdam quartet that is FOCUS. I have been to many of their concerts and have had the pleasure to meet all of the current members of the band, two of whom were in the original line up back in 1969. The classic ‘Sylvia’ never fails to please when played at their concerts, along with their extensive and impressive back-catalogue. Next, we come back to these shores, with the brilliant YES, formed in 1968, while here, with this track, recorded live in concert in 2018, they have original member Rick Wakeman back on keys for the timeless ‘Owner of a Lonely Heart’. Focus - Sylvia - Old Grey Whistle Test 1972 - YouTube Yes – Owner of a Lonely Heart - YouTube The penultimate master-piece is an amazing track from A Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, a Prog Rock Opera and concept album released in 1974 by the original GENESIS, before the crazy, but talented, Peter Gabriel left the band in 1975 to enjoy a solo career, leaving Phil Collins to take on the vocals. For me, it was never the same, as Collins took the band into a more pop orientated genre, resulting in the later departure of bassist Mike Rutherford in 1985, to form Mike & The Mechanics. All of the music on the double album was written by Peter Gabriel, which is acclaimed as the best album Genesis ever produced. Unfortunately, the only recordings available on the internet, featuring Gabriel on vocals, are very poor quality. So, we have had to settle for second best, in the form of Steve Hackett, Genesis guitarist on the 1974 album, and the excellent ‘Gabriel-sound-alike’ Ray Wilson, performing to a sell-out audience at the Royal Albert Hall in 2013, of the magnificent and moody track ‘The Carpet Crawlers’. So, if this whets your appetite for more, I recommend the full double album which tells the story of Rael, a poor Puerto Rican boy from The Bronx who, as The Lamb, goes on an adventure in New York City. Rael walks down the boulevard of broken dreams in a heroin daze and, without a warning, he is hit by a truck on Broadway and goes flying through the air, his life flashing in front of his eyes. He lapses into a coma and lies in a hospital bed, hovering between life and death. As I said, IT WAS written by Peter Gabriel. Steve Hackett (of Genesis) – The Carpet Crawlers - YouTube The tenth and final offering this month, comes by way of the German band TANGERINE DREAM who, at the outset in 1967, were one of the new-wave of electronic music acts coming out of Europe. Others were Kraftwerk, Vangelis, and Jean Michel Jarre. Founder member of TD was Edgar Froese who was still performing up until his death in 2015. His son Jerome Froese joined the band in 1989. In 1997, I took my ten-year-old son to see them in Birmingham, the first of three of their concerts that we attended over the following decade. Back in those early days, they only featured electronic keyboards and computers, but later introduced guitar, bass-guitar, drums, and saxophone, moving nearer to the prog rock style. This is reflected in the updated track entitled ‘Stratosfear 95’ from a concert in 2015. Tangerine Dream – Stratosfear95 - YouTube The 2-page rock supplement will now be issued between the regular bi-monthly u3a Newsletters produced by Christine Pratt. Those bi-monthly editions continue to feature my MUSIC CORNER, with the next issue for July looking at the impact music has on television. Then, for the August rock supplement we will be highlighting some guitar greats. BC .

  • Gazzara Plays Genesis – Here It Comes Again
    Gazzara Plays Genesis – Here It Comes Again (73:08, CD, IRMA, 2020) Ein weiteres Album mit Coverversionen von Genesis-Songs also. Dem Cover ist schon zu entnehmen, welche Alben denn hier vorkommen, so sieht man nachgeahmte Coverausschnitte von „Foxtrot“, „A Trick of the Tail“, „Wind and Wuthering“ und „Duke“. Also sind sowohl Peter Gabriels als auch Phil Collins‚ Ära vertreten. Da stellt sich natürlich sofort die Frage, wie mag dies denn gesanglich umgesetzt sein. Ganz einfach: gar nicht! Es handelt sich nämlich um ein rein instrumentales Album, um die Arrangements von Genesis-Klassikern aus der Sicht eines Pianisten. Auch das ist nichts Neues, wir erinnern uns an den ehemaligen Musical Box-Keyboarder David Myers oder „Genesis for two grand pianos“. Nun also Francesco Gazzara, für den dies allerdings keine völlig neue Herausforderung ist, hat er doch bereits 2014 ein Doppelalbum namens „Play Me My Song“ herausgebracht, auch damals schon als „Gazzara Plays Genesis“. Er geht gleich in die Vollen und startet mit einer Elf-Minuten Version von ‚The Musical Box‘, gefolgt von 23 Minuten ‚Supper’s Ready‘. Mutig – man muss halt darauf verzichten können, dass gleich ein Gabriel oder Collins – oder Nachahmer – um die Ecke schaut. Doch es bleibt halt instrumental. Und es ist größtenteils gut gelungen. Zwar beweist er immer wieder seine Kernkompetenz am Klavier, doch auch das weitere Tastenarsenal findet Anwendung, hinzu kommt gehäufter Einsatz der Flöte. Auch wenn man immer wieder zuckt und den Gesangseinsatz erwartet, es kommt nicht dazu – es bleibt bei rein instrumentalen Versionen, die durchaus immer wieder mal ihren eigenen Reiz bieten. Es bleibt bei der Reihenfolge der ausgewählten Titel chronologisch, denn es folgen noch zwei weitere Songs aus der Gabriel-Zeit mit ‚I Know What I Like‘ und ‚The Carpet Crawlers‘.

  • 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.

  • Get 'Em out by Friday the Official Release Dates 1968-78 Introduction
    Genesis: Get ‘Em Out By Friday The Official Release Dates 1968-78 Introduction Depending on where one looks for the information, the original release dates of Genesis singles and albums are often misreported. This article uses several sources, including music paper cuttings, websites and books, to try and determine the most likely release date in the UK for their officially released product issued between 1968 and 1978. For a detailed analysis to be completed beyond 1978 will require the input of others that know that era far better than I with the resources to examine it in appropriate levels of detail. My own collection of source material essentially runs dry after 1978. As most people searching for release dates are likely to go to Wikipedia that is where this search for the truth behind Genesis’ back catalogie. The dates claimed on Wikipedia would themselves have come from a number of sources referenced by contributors over the years but what these references lack is the evidence to back up their claims. This article aims to either confirm or disprove these dates with the added bonus of citing where this information stems from. It’s not without a fair share of assumptions and educated deductions but it offers more on this subject than any previously published piece. The main sources consulted in the writing of this article are as follows: 1. The Genesis File Melody Maker 16 December 1972 2. Genesis Information Newsletter Issue No. 1 October 1976 3. Wax Fax by Barry Lazzell - a series of articles on Genesis releases published in Sounds over several weeks in 1977 4.

  • Ray Wilson, 14.10.17, Dortmund, Pauluskirche
    Ray Wilson, 14.10.17, Dortmund, Pauluskirche In The Air Tonight! Niemand tourt so regelmäßig und ausgiebig in deutschen Landen wie Ray Wilson. Der schottische Sänger, der mit Stiltskin und Genesis weltbekannt wurde, ist regelmäßig im Land. So war es nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis er auch live betreut wird. Noch letzten Monat wurde Ray Wilsons neues Live-Doppelalbum „Time & Distance“ ausgesprochen positiv bewertet. Zudem stand er den Betreuern für ein Interview zur Verfügung. Es lag auf der Hand, dass der Konzertabend in der Pauluskirche in der Dortmunder Nordstadt ganz im Zeichen des Live Outputs stehen würde. Stichwort Pausluskirche: Ray Wilson trat in der Vergangenheit bereits viermal in dieser Kirche auf, kennt die Kirche womöglich besser als manches Gemeindemitglied. Der Pfarrer der Gemeinde, ein musikbegeisteter Fan des britischen Sängers, organisiert in seiner Kirche immer wieder Konzerte und Events. Auch in Gottesdiensten wird hin und wieder Bezug zur Musikszene genommen. So findet im November beispielsweise ein Kulturgottesdienst zum Thema Linkin Park im Gedenken an den verstorbenen Leadsänger Chester Bennigton statt. Unter anderem werden Klassiker der Band auf der Kirchenorgel gespielt. Zurück zum Abend. Pünktlich um 20 Uhr betreten Ray Wilson und Band die „Bühne“. Ihr Programm „Genesis Classic“ ist in zwei Sets mit je zehn Songs aufgeteilt und wird eröffnet mit ‚Another Day‘, einem Song seines ersten Solo-Albums nach dem Ende von Genesis. Was folgt, ist ein bunter Mix aus Klassikern von Genesis (‚Carpet Crawlers‘, ‚No Son Of Mine‘, ‚In The Air Tonight‘, etc.) Phil Collins (‚Another Day In Paradise‘) und Peter Gabriel (‚In Your Eyes‘, ‚Solsbury Hill‘) – der Programmname ist also nicht wortwörtlich zu verstehen.

  • 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

Una piscina con tre lamia (esseri mitologici metà donna e metà serpente). Una stanza con 32 porte. Questi sono solo alcuni esempi delle curiose trovate presenti negli album e nei concerti dei Genesis. Non è facile addentrarsi nei meandri dei testi e delle rappresentazioni del gruppo inglese, che si può tranquillamente considerare uno dei più colti e raffinati di tutto il panorama rock, soprattutto per quanto realizzato durante il loro periodo progressive degli anni ’70. Peter Gabriel (voce, flauto), Mike Rutherford (basso), Tony Banks (organo, mellotron, piano, ecc...) e il primo chitarrista Anthony Phillips provenivano da una prestigiosa scuola privata del Surrey, la Charterhouse. Ma anche i membri che si aggiunsero col terzo LP, il nuovo chitarrista Steve Hackett e il batterista Phil Collins non erano certo degli sprovveduti.
