Amoeba Hollywood had a big Source Family/Yao Ho Wa vinyl section - didn't buy anything cuz i wasn't sure what those records are all about.
Avatar 1:30pm

@ MrFab: Yep, Sky Saxon did get in with those guys. They worshipped dogs, rather than gazpacho. The music is quite good in an avant psych vein, but the vocals of their leader Father Yod are an acquired taste.
Avatar 1:32pm

I think the best comparison to to the source family would be Moondog and Sun Ra and his orchestra mixed together and Popul Vuh/Ashra Tenple in the producer's chair?

The goddamned funniest thing just happened.
I have records I buy online delivered to me here at my office because I don't trust our rural mailbox with LP boxes, etc.
I ordered a desirable 7" record a week or so ago and today, a 12" mailer arrived in my mailbox at work. I thought it was a little weird, as I assumed it would come in a 7" shipper.
When I opened it, I was horrified to see a Three Dog Night LP inside. I was just about to contact the guy when I looked inside and spotted the 45 inside a paper sleeve tucked in the LP cover.
I gotta give that guy points for one of the best pranks I've ever had pulled on my as a record buyer.

But see the connection to British bands like Supertramp/10cc etc.
  2:03pm

I think what DSM was saying was that Euro-prog evolved naturally out of psych, but American prog seemed to come of it's own accord. Speaking of Beefheart, him and Zappa hated psych, and made their version of america prog as a reaction against it.

I think that's the problem, Tony -- the point of Prog was supposed to be its inclusiveness. I still count Sandy Bull as Prog.

I thought the point of Prog was the high-brow aspirations.

In the sense that it has anything to do with symphonic composition utilizing a rock sonic palette, Zappa beat most everyone to the first turn. Too bad about all the dick and poo poo jokes.

You could look at it that way, UM, but anytime you start including anything outside of low-brow rock into rock, it's going to look like aspiring to something above yourself.

These days, prog is a style rather than an attitude, I think.

I too tend to lump stuff like Prog, RIO, Kraut, Avant Rock (Residents, etc.) together. Probably because I was raised on radio that did that, played all that stuff together. It seemed nameless, not tagged and classified as much.

We get hung up on sticking things in little cubbyholes until we have to create new cubbyholes.

I remember the old Rolling Stone Encyclopdia had a chapter on "Art Rock" that included everything from Eno to Kansas.

Rev. Turnip Druid:

I discovered a huge world of multiple obscure sub-sub-sub genres at the same time (age 11, thanks to the record-collection of a well-versed relative) so I grew up just calling all of it "underground" & figured that was classification enough.

The way Alex' voice is in back of the guitar on this just kills me. So beautiful.

I just don't think that the background of most US rock bands of the late 60s leant themselves easily to Orchestral classical music as say Pink Floyd, Deep Purple were signed to labels that could easily get them whole Orchestras to play with them.
After all Neil Young had to come to the UK to get an Orcheatra to play on Harvest - Discuss!
