PROG ROCKS!

VA - Prog Rocks!  Vol.01 - Vol. 04 [2011-2014] (8 x CD's)


Absolutely brilliant. Anyone wanting to try prog out for the first time cannot go wrong with this offering. Many well known artists for prog fans plus a few oddities. This is by far one of the best collection of tracks that I have come across in years. I used to love the Sampler albums that were available on vinyl many years ago and this collection mirrors their diversity. An excellent choice of tracks brought together by someone who has a full knowledge of this era and obviously loves and respects the era. Superb mixture of Old and New Prog Rock tracks. Prog Rocks!  Features classic Prog riches from Harvest, Charisma, Virgin, Liberty/UA and newer, more cutting edge Progressive Rock from the enterprising Inside Out, Century Media and 'Superball' labels. This compilation serves as the ideal introduction to the wide variety of bands and musical styles on these labels and offers a broad insight into the delights of Prog Rock. A Highly collectable set featuring legends, some lesser-known acts, classic album tracks, singles and sought-after rarities from the vaults. (Amazon)
