Author:Will Romano
Not so much a book as a series of individual articles that can be dipped into in isolation if required.
Looks at the development of the prog scene from its early days up to the present, covering significant bands and albums.
However, even the ‘in depth’ articles seems rather superficial, only scratching the surface and tending to leap off at tangents onto other subjects for no discernible reason.
Quite a few interviews are thrown in, but these are mainly with peripheral figures rather than the main players.
Length of Read:Short
Might appeal to people who enjoyed…
Had quite high hopes for this book but they were unfulfilled in the main. It’s for hard core fans of the genre only really, and can’t particularly recommend it even for them.
One thing you’ve learned
Didn’t learn too much new to be honest other than perhaps prog is better understood by being listened to rather than by being written about.
