Re: Underworld and Prog Bands
I like Floyd, and Tool if they qualify.

Re: Underworld and Prog Bands
I still fail to see how this thread has anything to do with Underworld.

read Beatiful Burnout's first post and all is clear. Especially if you consider UW an "albums band" and more progressive than the average dance music band, i think it's obvious what we're getting at.

erm no. " bands such as Underworld and Orbital taking the prog influence a step further" doesnt say anything. a lot of bands are "albums bands" and i dont believe Underworld are any more an albums band than most. Theyve released lots of singles too. The link is tenuous. Please define "progressive" in your sentence above.

Progressive usally means being on the forefront of music or a step ahead. i think this is UW's intent with the riverrun series.
i was and still am a huge fan of Genesis. Most Pink Floyd is enjoyable. But bands like Yes and ELP fell into that category of tiresome and repeating themselves. In the 90's, i guess everyone cites Radiohead as carying on the torch, along with Sigur Ros. But anyone who's into indie music will tell you that there are thousands of extremely creative bands that are truly progressing music. That's where i'd look for real experimentation.

that's how i defined it previously. Feel free to disagree, though. Your dislike of this and Genesis in particular is pretty apparent on this and other threads, especially the tumbleweed comment before anyone else even said a word. It's opinion, like 99% of the posts around here, so i dont think it's any less valid than any Paul de Aragon musing or repetitive polling.

i'd say they're progressive in that they don't stick to a strict formula, that they like to experiment. mostly this works, as they have high standards and are able to assess their work well. but sometimes they fall into noodley bollocks... i think progressive in electronic music also means that they shy away from the mainstream - many bands that use a lot of different styles and therefore cannot be pigeon-holed end up with the 'progressive' tag because it's easy for journalists.

goddamnit holden, shut up.

rules of subjectivity become abused when you start thinking a perpetual lush's opinion is the same as a crumudgeon you can't logically argue against because genesis are terrible!
