So here is an oddity from the Prog Rock World - The Pentateuch of the Cosmogony (The Birth and Death of a World). Maybe not everyones cuppa tea but well worth a listen.
Some of you may know of Mr Greenslade from Coleseum or the band Greenslade, this offering was inspired by the drawings and words of David Woodroffe. The double LP is probably as progy as anyone can get, it is a complete and total concept both from a pictorial, written and musical form. It is effectively a story of how the solar system came into being and mankind. It mixes sci-fi with a fight for good and evil and the involvement of a god. It is very allegorical in its approach. The album comes in the form of a book with 2 LPs, the intention is to read the book and listen to the music at the same time. The drawings and paintings are quite wonderful and the music is pretty good all instruments played by Dave Greenslade, primarily electronic keyboards, moons and tubular bells, and church organ, drums on some tracks are by Phil Collins. Some of the music verges on orchestral composition, and some has a pop and rock feel, it is all quite expressive.
There is a very prophetic comment and poem at the end of the book care of Patrick Woodroffe
Man is a danger, though less of a danger to the universe than to himself.
Man is in danger.
As the angel, in Haydn's oratorio "The Creation" warned Adam and Eve when they were given custody of the garden.
O happy pair, and happy evermore
Provided folly lead you not astray
To wish for more than you have
Or more to know than for you good.
Patrick Woodroffe / Dave Greenslade The Pentateuch Of The Cosmogony

CD version if you are interested:-

I can find no digital versions on Tidal, Qobuz or Spotify so as the album notes state I think copyright is strictly controlled.

Four more good choices there Charles. :)
Wow - that looks and sounds interesting! I'm a bit of a Colosseum fan, and an admirer of the artwork of David Woodroffe. I have a copy of 'Mythos' (a collection of some of his artwork) here somewhere.Quote:

It is an interesting listening, some tracks very good and others I dont get. As a whole its very good, and obviously a lot of effort went into producing it. A good collectors piece. A bit like Godley and Cremes - Consequences which I actually think is superb.Quote:

An often and sadly overlooked album! No. 335[6] on its List of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In an early 1987 Rolling Stone list of their top 100 albums from 1967 to 1987, Squeezing Out Sparks was ranked at No. 45. I saw them live in 78, I think at the at the famous Hope and Anchor.
Graham Parker was/is often compared to Elvis Costello and Joe Jackson, but he actually was there before either of them cam along on the scene. IMO opinion he could have easily have been as big a Costello if he had kept producing great lyrics with a hard edge.

Two good choices there Adrian.
Saw The Tubes at Hammersmith Odeon in the mid '80s. Their 'show/performance' was excellent - I still think "Don't touch me there" is one of the most erotic/funny tracks ever.Quote:
