Best pwog of 2018
Audiofools like "best of" lists because they are anal and they like to be directed (cos they have no time to FECKIN LOOK FOR THEMSELVES cos theys too busy working for The Bastard's Gain cos they need accumulate all the sheckles for their expensive hobby.)
Pwog was in a bad way this year.
Sure , more new prog bands than ever...but most being shit.
The growing concern, it seems to Blind Chile, be the HOMOGENIZATION of ALL musics. Distinct genres are slipping away - as is the diversity of the biosphere and human culture itself.
Fusion was okay and, at first world-music (of the 80s).Now you are getting unholy, bland amalgams of things like indigenous musics melded to jazz and samba and fuckin' who knows wot else.
Call Blind Chile an asshole, but Blind Chile prefers a fair amount of deliniation when it comes to music.
Prog has become ass-fucks like "Crossover", "Math" and CHRIST-FUCKED METAL.
sO, THIS BEING THE SAD CASE, HERE ARE THE FEW GOOD ONES OF THE YEAR:
Malady - Toinen Toista (sumfink loike that)
Homunculus Res - Della Stessa Sostanza...
Elephant 9 -greatest show on earth
london Underground - four
One's I had high hopes for, but which did not pan out entirely in the end:
Nektar (well, really I wasn't expecting much since this reformation has basically feck to do with the origional)
Roine Stolt's Flowerkings (only half was decent. As expected, sounds more loike a Stolt solo cd -which it IS - than Flowerkings)
Samurai of Prog - Archivarium (was really looking forward to this, but, again half was lacking depth.)
Soft machine - Hidden Details Good but too much emphasis on sax.)
Fuck off 2018. And you too, 2019.

Re: Best pwog of 2018
Reviews of the Slug album do contain references to Prog. Looks like an intriguing record.

Re: Best pwog of 2018
I love Slug.
Maybe there is a Pwog demon somewhere inside waiting to take me over when I'm at my lowest ebb.
Go on Missy!You know you want to.

Re: Best pwog of 2018
Surely pwog is a cul-de-sac. Even if some people can't agree how many houses it has.
