When Prog Rock Ruled the Earth
Mon, 29 Jun 2009 20:59:00 +0100This long, repetitive, rambling post is rather like a prog rock album inspired by sitting sweating in a car park at Glastonbury for two hours, and then remembering that I don’t even have a car. I managed not to contract swine flu. But I may still die from heat-related conditions back in Manchester. I hated prog rock as it eventually came to manifest itself, being at heart a blues man and hating the pretensions. To me, it seemed to grow out of an adolescent pride in “bands that can really play their instruments”, which often seemed to mean a bit of cod Bach and twenty minute drum solos. However, I do have a bit of an awful fascination with it, as I do with, say, Amy “Tattooed Reptile” Winehouse. Wouldn’t “Tattooed Reptile” be a great name for a PR band? Like any genre definitions, PR can be a surprisingly slippery beast. To me it seemed to involve bands that favoured keyboards over guitars as the predominant solo instrument and lengthy songs with minimal vocals, singing obscure lyrics which didn’t have anything to do with love, hard times or social comment. In popular memory, PR seems to be associated with the triumvirate of Yes, Genesis and Emerson Lake & Palmer and the joke figures of Rick Wakeman and Keith Emerson. But there were several offshoots from this mainstream. There was King Crimson and in that kind of area there were such as Egg, Hatfield and the North, Henry Cow (it was years before I got the presumed name check for Henry Cowell). Maybe these were the most interesting if the least immediately accessible. There were some who came from a jazzier angle rather than a classical background, Caravan spring to mind. Some retain a cult following of sorts like Van der Graaf Generator and Gentle Giant, while others drew big crowds in their day but are now largely forgotten There were dinosaur rock bands that pre-dated PR and had an influence on it but couldn’t really be blamed. Cream, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple were more responsible for heavy metal. Pink Floyd and Soft Machine were bigger PR influences without ever being PR bands themselves. Jethro Tull, Procol Harum ... PR-like, maybe, but not hard core. A few more random thoughts ... overwhelmingly male fan base ... a very British thing, can’t think of any Americans really though there were the Germans like Can and Amon Duul II ... with people like Bill Bruford moving to the jazz field how close were bands like the Mahavishnu Orchestra to PR? Hawkwind? Perhaps not. I was certainly one of those who came to see PR in all its manifestations as absolutely horrible, and indeed some of my earliest practical musical experiences involved playing in teenage punk rock bands in 1977-78. More recently I thought it might be fun to see if I could reconnect myself with the way I felt about early 1970s music at the time (before agreeing with everyone in the late 1970s that it was made...

THE NOVELLS - That Did It (1968)
Mon, 22 Jun 2009 09:06:00 +0100The album is a mixture of originals and covers (for instance "Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay" which is a great pop version and "Sunshine of Your Love" which is pretty lame). Just about all the other songs have fantastic guitar, cool harmonized vocals, very competent drums, and melodic hooks. It's pop/psych but some tracks sound more garage-y, like "Pink Wallpaper". "Almost There" was a single, and is a good punchy track with tempo changes. "Pink Wallpaper", "Age of Innocence", "Only You" (not The Platters song!) and "Glass House" all stand out as well constructed and delivered songs by what sounds like a pretty youthful group. They have a delightful period naivety to their sound and a lot of it sounds like it could be used as sound library hire-out material for insertion into US TV series of the day. Overall, it's a very good and undiscovered pop album with enough guitar attack and melodic hooks. The band members are Bob Archer (guitar), Ed Benson (bass), Terry Tibbetts (keyboards, and Chip Moore (drums). (from wikipedia) Link: THE NOVELLS - That Did It (1968)... (Read complete news)
