[Smt-talk] The Prog-rock Symphony?

[David Claman]

Dmitri-

Not sure if this would fit what you are looking for, but the third "side" of Hendrix' Electric Ladyland, "1983", while in some ways more like a medley, has classical pretensions at points. Has some singing.

Subject: [Smt-talk] The Prog-rock Symphony?

Hi Everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone can help me come up with examples of what I think of as the "Prog-rock Symphony" -- album-length, through-composed instrumental pieces suggesting some sort of classical influence, however vague.

For example, Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells," Zappa's "Grand Wazoo," or Jean-Michel Jarre's "Oxygene."

There are lots of examples with vocals; I'm happy to hear everyone's favorite instances, but I'm particularly interested in instrumental albums.

Thanks,
DT
