In case you're wondering, part 1 of my U.S. prog rock special was way back in 2017: wfmu.org...

I promise not to repeat any artists.

The accent over the 'a' in Màelstrom's name doesn't seem to serve any purpose. It guess it's like the classic metal umlaut.

Love that Laser Pace album. The messageboard I Love Music (ILM) had a lovefest about it starting in 2007 and revived periodically afterward: www.ilxor.com...
...including input from John Christensen of the band. The ILM thread, started by music writer Scott Seward, eventually led to the Feeding Tube reissue with liner notes by Scott.

Hey there, Oxidized! A Laser Pace track is coming up shortly. I will definitely have to check that ILM thread.

I really like this Earthrise, but by 1978 they were surely on borrowed Prog time. By 1979 I see them rebranding as The Rises, playing new wave and wearing skinny ties.

Instead of getting skinny New Wave ties, The Enid turned to defensive irony instead, as in the title of their 1977 album "Aerie Faerie Nonsense."

i did not feel betrayed, because it's not about me; but i thought it sucked. i still do.
i got it (asked for it for xmas) with great excitement - and was profoundly disappointed. thoroughly cold, calculated, feelingless. i have not paid much attention to king crimson since, and would not pay to see them perform.
