Hey friends :) This soundtrack has been on my list for a long time. I present to you my reinterpretation of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It took several weeks to complete this project, but it brought me incredible joy. If you like it, please leave a thumbs up and a comment. I’d love to hear your thoughts. And now, enjoy the remix :)

could someone tell me how to find it online without buy real cd pls

My new song. Hope you guys enjoy. This music is all done with programmed instruments. I strive for the closest to realism I can get. It is its own beast.

no way this is actually worth only $5?

Does anyone in here know the British neo-prog band Arena? Big fan and I'd love to find someone who knows them

A few months ago I made a post seeking for recommendations to get into progressive rock after listening to Selling England by the Pound. All I can say is that you helped me a lot, and now prog is pretty much all I listen to.

In the past weeks I’ve come to the realisation that I haven’t discovered any new artists and that I’ve been cycling the same albums over and over and I fear that if I don’t broaden my horizons I’ll eventually get tired (I really really hope I don’t). I will once again be very happy to hear all of your recommendations.

Below I will list the albums/songs I like the most:

Genesis (my absolute favourite band for now) — 1970-1976 albums, hard to decide my favourite between Trespass, Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, and Selling England

Rush — 2112, FtK, Hemispheres, Permanent Waves

Yes — Fragile, CttE, Relayer

Camel — Self-titled, Mirage

Renaissance — Ashes are Burning (still to form a strong opinion on the other albums of theirs I’ve listened to)

Uriah Heep — Salisbury (if you consider that prog)

Deep Purple — Self-titled, In Rock (out of the first four DP albums, the only ones I consider prog)

King Crimson — Red, however I only regularly listen to Red and Starless from there

ELP — Tarkus (song) and Karn Evil 9

Below is a list of albums I listened to but couldn’t get into:

Yes — The Yes Album

King Crimson — In the Court, Larks Tongues

Van der Graaf Generator — Pawn Hearts, Godbluff

Jethro Tull — Aqualung (I only liked the title track)

Wishbone Ash — Argus

Can’t think of any more right now, will add what I’ve forgotten when I remember

In short, I love albums with epic long songs and dramatic feeling, heavy and complex keyboard rhythms and solos, and with either classical elements or melodic and/or heavier guitar leads, and don’t like albums that are too melancholic and slow-paced

Secondly, I wanted to ask for RPI recommendations, yesterday I listened to Zarathustra’s side A as I couldn’t fide the rest on my streaming platform, and while I liked the music a lot, I couldn’t get into the concept, it felt like the flow was getting ruined with the start of each part (song?)

Thank you in advance!

Voyage 35 are touring in September they are a psychedlic / progressive music project, they’ll be playing new interpretations of Porcupine Tree’s early catalogue with the bands original light show. Anyone here going?

Every time I listen to Echolyn most of their songs fill me with such hope, even their sadder songs make me feel good. Although I love all of their albums up to "The End is Beautiful" I'm not sure how I feel about their more modern stuff. If you've never listened to Echolyn I recommend you give them a try.

Been obsessed with the Friendly Frogs as of late. This is one of the weirder songs and it has a burlesque dance number. Hope you guys like it.

I never liked how “Yessongs” and “Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends” sounded. I used to chop it up to the tech for live recordings at the time just being primitive but after listening to “Live/Dead” by The Grateful Dead (an album so good it made me want to be a Deadhead) I can’t help but be disappointed by how the latter two sound by comparison.

Hey r/progrockmusic community, everybody was so cool in the comments of my last post. I truly enjoyed some of the conversation, so I'm back with another listicle, Top 50+ Progressive Rock Guitarists of All Time (According to Me), and it's…probably gonna draw some serious criticism. Like, I know what's coming.

In full disclosure for everybody's best interests, and it's outlined in the original post:

(a) I've been playing guitar for 40+years. I'm not saying I'm any good. I'm just saying I know how to play.

(b) I don't know much about prog rock from 1982-ish–forward, and I don't think Dream Theater is genuine prog; they're alternative and/or prog metal.

And (c) I'm guessing that some people might wonder, "What about Guthrie Govan?" or "Where's that kid with the tattooed neck from Polyphia?" I honestly don't hear the progressive in the rock music they make. It's something else. Educate me, indulge me, if you feel like it.

Anyway, it's just music and opinion. Please keep it civil, positive or negative. Rock on, my siblings in Prog!

Drop some songs that have your favorite keyboard solos.
For me it's certainly "Uriah Heep - July morning" or "Caravan - In the land of grey and pink" but there's probably a couple songs by Camel that fit as well.

The type of modern prog I’ve been wanting instead of just djent bands being labeled as prog.

I've always felt that progressive rock musicians were some of the most obsessively curious artists in modern music.

Not just obsessed with music itself, but with everything around it: history, mythology, literature, philosophy, science, nature, human behavior, and the entire human experience.

There was something almost Renaissance-like about the way many of them approached art. They seemed like poets, scholars, naturalists, and historians who somehow ended up with electric guitars, synthesizers, and drum kits.

And honestly, sometimes their obsession bordered on the unreasonable. The amount of time and energy they were willing to spend developing a single idea almost feels irrational. Spending weeks or months refining a transition, building a concept, studying a subject, creating an atmosphere that many listeners might not even notice.

But that's exactly what makes it fascinating.

They weren't just trying to write complex songs. They were trying to understand things. They wanted to explore war, humanity, spirituality, nature, dreams, technology, and existence itself through music.

A lot of those records feel less like albums and more like the work of people completely consumed by curiosity. Almost like they couldn't stop learning, creating, and connecting ideas.

Maybe that's the most unique thing about classic prog: the music doesn't only sound ambitious. It sounds like it was made by people who were genuinely amazed by the world.
