The progressive pop

WHEN IS NOT PROGRESSIVE ROCK

With progressive means a subgenre of rock music that includes the production of bands like King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Genesis, Yes , PFM and Magma, to more recent ones such as Andromeda and Dream Theater.
for other groups such as the Dictionary of Strawbs Pop-rock by Gentile and Tonti Strawbs album puts it this way: "sounds even toned acoustic side, but with already developed an attitude and slightly epic" progressive "; while the album Just a collection of antiques and curios, "the sound of the moving prog-rock group to areas and rock-baroque '. Before you create a genre for each band (for every album, every song, every verse), I would say that the Strawbs are part of an experimental phase of the rock that if extended to the structure of a single song can lead to progressive, but it is still on this side than I am, Yes. So it can not be totally ascribed to the genus as a group the Moody Blues, which certainly symphonic design concept, but the essence of the song is definitely a catchy rock. There were those who saw in Days of Future Passed (1967) of the latter, the first step in the progressive, but what you feel listening to the album is only the admixture rock and classical music, inserted almost in a concept, or at least in an effective effort to bring together the songs in a thread, different from the product concept, although on that road. It is already so honorable experience of the experimental group, without dovergli attribute intentions of a kind that probably has ever owned. The same can be said for Procol Harum. While this method when the composition exceeds the threshold and enters the progressive, you have a band like Curved Air, which is not limited for example to redo Vivaldi, or inspired by him for a piece (as Procol Harum had done with Bach the famous A Whiter Shade Of Pale), but to elevate rock to classical music, and take on musical phrases to enter into loan projects prog albums, which are those in the micro and macro, as in the first album, 1970 Air conditioning. In that regard, the dictionary of Gentile and Tonti also uses the term "progressive pop" not completely wrong this time, and also applicable to other groups, among which the value for Barclay James Harvest (album masterpieces are like the Once Again ' Octoberon 71 and '76). Pop, rock and progressive, not so much for the atmosphere more relaxed and less fast, but because compared to what's in a song like Roundabaout of Yes, the lack of interlocking pieces of tools that did not allow the execution of the piece by a single strumento armonico; quel che c’è è lo studio della struttura, e quindi la fuoriuscita da una classica sequenza di strofe e ritornelli; e anche laddove ciò avviene, i rimandi interni delle parti musicali non permettono una netta divisione. Altri gruppi si inseriscono in questa variante che troverà seguito fino ad oggi: i Renaissance sono dei maestri in questo sottogenere del sottogenere; ma in generale tutti i gruppi della corrente rock progressiva hanno sporadiche intrusioni di pop progressive ogni qualvolta si perde il senso della microstruttura artificiosa, senza abbandonare quello della macrostruttura.
