Return to my HOME page Something about music...


No, not my own music, unfortunately., since I never contributed anything to this art. This page is about the music I like the most. References on the net, recommendation, etc...

Musical Genre: My preffered musical genre is progressive rock. This is the most inventive, innovative, interesting, never-boring kind of music. If you want to learn more about progressive music, you may check: The progressive rock web site
Also highly recommanded is the Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock (GEPR)

Now, about the bands themselves:

Musical groups and albums:

First of all, Pink Floyd. No need for introduction (I hope). There are many many sites on the web, about Pink-floyd, so pointing one site is not such an easy task.
Recommanded albums: I'd say, all of them. Or at least: All of the albums from Waters era, but, if you want me to be more specific: There are ofcourse, those albums like The wall that anybody knows, as well as Dark side of the moon and Wish you were here, all very good and very well known. Also recommanded are Atom heart mother, especially due to the mind blowing opening sequence and Meddle, but above all, if you want to check another of their highest moments, and one of the most innovative albums of all, try Piper at the gates of dawn, their first album, dominated by Syd Barret, the founder of the band, that left after the first album, since he could no longer function in the band because of all the drugs he took. This is a really unique album. Psychadelic, sometimes funny, totally crazy. When I think about this, the title "Psychadelic songs for distorted-mind kids" would best describe this album.
Resources on the net: There is a huge number of Pink-floyd related sites on the net. You can find a good list of those sites at Yahoo - Pink floyd index

Marillion: An excellent group. This group had two incarnations. The first one is Fish era, dominated by the excellent vocalist and lyricist, Fish (Real name Derek Dick). In 1988, Fish left the band. I don't know much about the post-Fish Marillion, so everything I'm reffering here only to Fish era Marillion.
Fish created in his albums a melancolic but also beautyful mood. There is no other band that successfully creates such a mood in such a beautyful way. This is the kind of music to listen to when you feel down.
Recommanded albums: All of the 4 Fish-era albums are highly recommanded, but the best is undoubtely Misplaced childhood. A real "Must have". Also very good is Clutching at straws.
Resources on the net: Check out The official Marillion Homepage. Another place to check out is Marillion - Out of this world

Camel: This mid-70th band created some quiet enchanted melodies. Their music is not as adventarous as more progressive groups such as Yes, but they really shine in their mellodic part. Andy latimer's guitar sound sometimes reminds me of David Guilmour (Of Pink floyd), and his flute adds a magical touch to the music ...
Recommanded albums: Check out Moonmadness, Mirage and The snow goose in the following order. All are highly recommanded.
