Getting it on with Prog


Looks like there has not been a STEADY progressive rock thread here since 2006.

If you refrain from trolling me, I'm up for posting mini (one or two sentence) "reviews" of lps likely some of you are not aware of.

You're welcome to add your own reviews, with one stipulation:
I realize this is an audio forum ,so please refrain from the obvious which has been done to death  (like Genesis,Yes,Focus...)

And I don't want to hear no bloody  Porcupine Tree , Mars Volta,Dream Theater ,Tool, or bleeding Steven Wilson.

I have nothing new to add but....

Played my excellent copy of  Yes "Close to the Edge"  

What a spectacular piece of music. I nominate it as the equivalent  of Ludwig V's "Ode to Joy"

"I get up, I get down".... cue pipe organ-at MAX VOLUME! 
One of those pieces that puts me in an emotional space which very few do.

Haven't gone outside the "usual suspects" during my bin dive expeditions. This thread has been great for adding to my list.

Been revisiting my entire collection lately. Tubes been cookin overtime.
"the 180 Gram re-issue, cut from the original Analog master tape CTTE is spectacular, pricey at $32, but I'm getting my $$$ worth with renewed enthusiam to spin it."

richmon-
in any form, CTTE is spectacular. 

Being a "stamper"  snob, I  find like most reissues CTTE is just okay, compared to a rare find cheapie in the the bins.

CTTE by default is plagued by the master, according to articles and my  72 year old record shop guru. 


Irrelevant to just hearing a nice clean copy OR CD/file. Just as long as it's LOUD.
