    Was jazz-fusion a dead end music genre?

    well, at least the discussion is interesting. now i find Yes futuristic in a non post-modern way, in a classic sci-fi adventure mood more Olaf Stapledon or Starship Troopers than K Dick or the almighty Ballard so much loved by postpunkers. there is also to say that this futuristic Yes...

    Was jazz-fusion a dead end music genre?

    On this Yes vs. Henry Cow tip. Now i found Henry Cow quite boring, meanwhile Yes had become one of my favorite band, go figure! Yes were "futuristic" in a old classical way, lot of references to classical science fiction, proto new-age mysticism and others fantasy. Sure they were unique, since...

    Was jazz-fusion a dead end music genre?

    I think that when (modern, alas no heavy rockblues) Metal is referred as the new Prog this goes in referee to Death Metal, , most of Doom Metal, and obviously all of so called Progressive Metal . I would have not consider Drone Metal in his purest incarnation (Earth, firsts SunnO))) records)...

    Was jazz-fusion a dead end music genre?

    on the pro-fusion angle also i remember Nucleous and Ben on the Vertigo label, i have some tracks of them on the Vertigo Time Machine comp, they are very Miles/Soft Machine sounding for what I remember (Ian Carr, leader of Nucleus, wrote a book on Miles). nothing really exiting but a nice...

    Was jazz-fusion a dead end music genre?

    First, yes, it was a dead end, but dead end are very interesting. Some reccomendation just out of my head. If you love Miles electric but not interested in simple copycat then try first ECM album by Terje Rypdal (untitled), just imagine a Jack johnson played by Ash Ra Tempel, one of my fave...

    Musical Human Being

    Is this really a bit of scary (and socially miserable) music distopia? Here . You can be a MOGGER too... "show the world who you are as a musical human being [...] MOG can automatically show you other MOGGERS with a taste in music that most resembles yours" so you can hunt them and kill them...

    epidemic

    No, Element of Crime is first, then Epidemic follow, then Europa (best Lars film ever with the exception of Riget) close the E trilogy.

    sophisticated nippon disco with female voices
