Space Rock
This
mix was inspired by a playlist that i stumbled across on Spotify. It's
called ENtro to Deep Space Rock. You can find it here...

I really enjoyed a lot of the instrumental cuts in the playlist.
I've
been a prog rock fan since the 70s but I rarely listen to anything that
would be considered current prog rock. I've sampled a lot of prog
recorded in the last 15 years but it's never really done
much for me. Part of that is due to my tastes changing over the years.
I have less interest in long guitar solos and ridiculous lyrics about
nymphs in the forest, the end of the world, etc. I still enjoy all my
old favs but the new stuff just comes across as silly much of the time.
I know that old 70s prog is filled with stupid lyrics but those get a
pass because I've loved them for 40 years.
I've
often wondered if I would be drawn to Yes or Genesis if I were hearing
them for the first time right now. Probably not. Maybe I was drawn to
the instrumentals in the playlist because lyrics and vocals weren't a
problem. I was surprised to find how much I enjoyed many of the cuts.
The mix starts with a great tune from A Produce, The Golden Needle,
that I've had for years but never listened to closely. It's got this
great Pink Floyd feel to it. And even though it doesn't rock the way
the other tunes do, I thought it would be a good way to start the mix.
The
music is then a mixture of old and new instrumentals. I've put the
year each was released in the tracklist. I'd say of the new prog
instrumentals I've discovered that My Brother The Wind is a favorite.
Hopefully this is just a start of even more music to add to my
collection.
