Ah, the confusion continues.
Does 'Fugazi' have some significance that they're both referring to,
perchance?

I recall hearing that "fugazi" was supposed to mean "messed up". I assume
that if it came from any language, it would be Japanese. But I'm not sure...

Okay, I was saving this one until December, to spare you the agony of one more
Chistmas thing to hassle with while the leaves were still green...
I'm sure you heard the progressive take on holiday tunes from last year,
courtesy of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I spotted this in good numbers in
Meijer's, a few weeks ago. Not sure I want to hear a whole album of
progressive holiday tunes, but, then again, what I heard so far was kinda
cool...

Prog-rock holiday tunes? At sail at Mejer?
I'll reserve comment...

No..I'm interested. I can't imagine progressive acts doing holiday stuff,
especially some alternative acts. Synth bands? Hmmm...maybe Erasure or Pet
Shop Boys, but DM..? ehehehhehe.
btw, what *is* defined as progressive today?

Any band that started in the 70's that's still recording today? :-)
No, not really, but I kindof agree that I don't know what "progressive"
means for new bands, it's not a genre that I tend to think of as one
that new artists enter.

I have a CD by a Seattle band called The Puddle Jumpers which desperately
wants to be 70's progressive. (A 1996 release.)

Oh, I think they're defunct now, but there was an interesting band called
Echolyn that was doing the prog rock thing in the 90s...

I typically use this yardstick for progressive rock...
Any bands that attempt ambitious arrangement with high symbolic content and
attention to fidelity with a core guitar/synth/bass/drum setup usually
qualify.

I guess I'd say a progressive band is one that wants to do more with a rock
lineup than make rock songs (and money).

Thinking about it, though, it doesn't really work. I mean, there's also a
certain _sound_ that you associate with Prog Rock - very epic, very
synth-and-guitar. So there are some bands doing very creative things in a
rock framework that don't really have that sound, and I don't know if I'd call
them Prog or not.

I pulled a rather large fuzzy ball of fugazi out of my bellybutton this
morning. Imagine my surprise!!

Looks like Yes has a new album out. Haven't really heard much of their stuff
after _Union_. As much as I like Jon Anderson's distinctive voice, I've found
his solo albums somewhat disappointing. In fact, they've gotten downright
weird. So, I'm glad to see he's back at it with the gang (or at least Steve
Howe and a few others).

Apparently, there's now a _Tubular Bells III_ in the works from Mike Oldfield.
This has never really been my favorite vein of Oldfield, although I saw him
perform _Tubular Bells 2_ live.

I'd thought that was more new-agey stuff...

Oldfield is often placed in new age sections because of his heavy use of
synthesizers. But he really sits more squarely in the progressive rock
field, as he plays guitar, himself, and many of his pieces are longer and
more intricate.

I've got some classic prog rock that you'll have to check out, sometime. Good
stuff.
