Mountains Come Out of the Sky The Illustrated History of Prog Rock
Author: Will Romano.
Baksidestext:
From its artful beginnings (Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd, the Mothers of Invention, and those progressive forebearers, the Sgt. Pepper-era Beatles), through the towering guitar solos, monumental synthesizer banks, and mind-boggling special effects of the Golden Age of Prog (Rush, Pink Floyd, Yes, ELP, Genesis, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, UK), through the radio-friendly “pop era” (Asia, the Phil Collins-led Genesis, and a reformed Yes), and right up to the present state of the art (Marillion, Spock's Beard, and Mars Volta), this is a wickedly incisive tour of rock music at its most spectacular. This is indeed the book prog rock fans have been waiting for, the only one of its kind, as fantastic as the subjects it covers.Ur Bill Brufords förord:
From Pink Floyds wildly imaginative The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn to ELP,s horrific 1978 Love Beach, progressive rock flew, like Ikarus, too near the sun, crashed, and burned. After a period of disgrace, a 1980,s neo-progressive movement took hold in the charred subsoil, to be followed by the current resurgent and reevaluation – of which Will Romanos excellent book is a part.”
