Quote of the Day

Posted on March 8, 2008 by Tim Hall

Actually, a rather old quote from The Phoenyx that I must have missed the first time round

Are Mostly Autumn prog-rock? (pause) Oh, yeah, they have an album of songs inspired by LOTR. They must be.
- Carl Cravens, as quoted by Karen

Now, as we should all know, it’s only really prog if those 12 minute songs about hobbits are in 7/8 or 9/8 time…

    Just wondered if you knew about Delicious Agony…we’re a progressive rock Internet radio station: http://www.deliciousagony.com

    We play Mostly Autumn , along w/Magellan, Marillion, and even some bands whose names don’t start with M!

    Lol, true prog is in a time signature that isn’t divisible – 9/8 is far too straight forward.

    “Apocalypse 9/8″ from “Suppers Ready” is, as the title suggests, in 9/8. If that was good enough for Gabriel-era Genesis, then it’s good enough for me :)
