I'm not really talking about 'Yes and all the bands of their
ilk'...When I think of progressive rock I think of Amon Duul II,
Heldon, Pulsar, Lard Free, Kraftwerk, Agitation Free, Ash Ra Tempel,
and so on and so on.
And if you want to hear where this 'IDM' music we all know and love
originated, give Cluster 'Zuckerzeit' a listen ...now that is some
progressive shit! Circa 1975/6...and actually Can's 'Tago Mago' was
one of the first records I can think of to use a drum machine, that
was around 1970.

more to advance music than most 'Englishmen'...
