Product Description

Album Description

• Whoever came up with the over-pretentious, collective term "Progressive Rock" couldn’t have been less forward thinking. Prog rock in its truest form was not a ‘restrictive’ genre - it was a movement that unified ALL genres.

• Forget such flamboyant cover stars such as Genesis, Yes and ELP, what of the truly progressive international rock musicians who started their own hybrid-hurricanes outside the rectangular iris of Prog's media storm? What about the unintentionally progressive musicians from the far reaches of the globe who were forced to create their own brand of psychedelic rock in a country shielded from the influence of the western world? And why don’t we spare a thought (and some needle time), for the culturally progressive crusaders carrying the rock-music flag in the face of political adversity risking social ostrasization or even death?

• Even though most of the 15 tracks on this compilation were recorded over 30 years ago they still, individually embody a wide range of challenging progressive musical ideas which are as relevant today as they were when the vinyl first came off the press in each of their scattered countries of origin.

• "Prog Is Not A Four Letter Word" is the follow-up to ANDY VOTEL (TWISTED NERVE)’s critically acclaimed "Folk Is Not A Four Letter Word" (CDDELAY01), which caused quite a stir earlier this year.

• The majority of these tracks have never before been on CD, many appear here for the first time away from their highly sought after, and stupendously rare, original releases.

3.0 out of 5 stars Track lengths let it down..., 26 Jun 2009
This imho is a far less successful collection than Andy Vogel's companion piece "folk is not a four letter word" and here is the basic problem... track length.

I mean most self respecting Prog music includes wonderful and often interminable epics and this is part of the genre's charm.

Here, though, despite the great sleevenotes we have a selection of 4 minute tasters which really sound just like badly recorded sub-pop songs. Rearrange the words lamb, mutton,dressed as..

Still, there are some enjoyable pices, and what's not to love about, say, the slightly hysterical welsh band Bran or the three South Korean sons of an industrial magnate with their excerable Casio keyboard noises.

Otherwise, a well-produced and tight Egg "fugue" sits oddly in the midst of way too many east European acts.

Disappointing.
