I have the feeling that it will become a very valuable record soon…

    Various forms of progressive music have always been around. You may just be under acquainted with the greater world.

      My main music listening habit is experimental indie music. So I’m well familiar with it. But the beauty of AdP is microtonality, not so much progressiveness. And microtonality is more rare. And they unique in marrying the two so well. There are other bands that done it in the past, but none so well.

            My dude, do you seriously believe that these guys invented this stuff?

            I own an occasionally listen to some Ravi Shankar.

                Oh, no list, sorry. But a few quick Google searches could fill in a lot of blanks.

                Pull up some dope sitar stuff. Hell, Serj Tankien sings in all sorts of microtonal arrangements (although you said no words so that may not count.).

                  It seems to me as if you just want to be contrarian or hipper than thou but have no substance underlying your sneer of a commentary.

                  You’re describing a bunch of separate ingredients that are out there showing up in great music like that you mentioned. You should think about turning that into a useful and relevant point that actually supports your original criticism.

                  Are you asking us to believe that Ravi Shankar - as amazing as he is - scratches the same itch as this because, what, he also makes micro-tonal music like a shit ton of non western artists do, or is “progressive” relative to western music. It just makes no sense.

                  By your logic, there is nothing impressive about George Harrison incorporating sitar into rock music in the 1960s, which explains why Tomorrow Never Knows is widely remembered as a shitty knock off.

                  I’m sorry to sound harsh but you’ve really added nothing but a failed air of superiority to this thread, and it’s stinking up the joint.
