Inspired by classical progressive rock bands of 40 years ago such as Gentle Giant, King Crimson, Emerson Lake and Palmer, and Pink Floyd, young bands of today have transformed progressive music into something new.

This feature length documentary film highlights ten contemporary progressive music bands: Cabezas De Cera - Avant/Fusion (Mexico), Cheer-Accident - Avant/ Experimental (USA), Deluge Grander - Symphonic (USA), D.F.A. - Jazz/Fusionl (Italy), Karmakanic - Symphonic (Sweden), La Maschera Di Cera - Symphonic (Italy), Oblivion Sun - Symphonic (USA),Phideaux - Symphonic (USA), Qui - Jazz Canterbury (Japan) and Rob Martino - Chapman Stick Player (USA). These musicians tell their stories, influences, creative process, challenges they face, and how they sell music in the era of Internet downloads. While the music's international, cross-cultural appeal receives due coverage, the Eastern United States and the Baltimore-Philadelphia region, specifically, are acknowledged as the cradle of prog's post-1970s artistic renaissance.

This film is also about the passion and spirit of progressive music genre, its music, its festivals, and the ecosystem that supports it.

??? i must disagree. check out Steve Lehman Octet or Steve Coleman's album Harvesting Semblances And Affinities. That's as modern jazz as modern jazz gets and it sounds nothing like prog. there might be some similarities but i wouldnt say it sounds like prog..

I started out thinking this documentary was going to be brilliant but, unfortunately, the artists kept on saying that music on the radio is either not good, not music or superficial. But that's not true. Music that is commercially successful is not intrinsically bad. What would these artists say if their albums suddenly shot to number one in the charts?

@RMarsupial 13 лет назад

@drummernezzy Yeah, but a lot of people consider jazz rock quite related to prog - it certainly has similar goals and ideals, and a similar penchant for crazy solos!

@DanaLorenArt 12 лет назад

why is prog always lumped in with crappy 'phish-esque' jam music

@progdocs 11 лет назад

Both prog rok and prog metal fall under the bigger umbrella of progressive music. Miles davis is not prog, but he established the jazz-rock underpinnings for progressive jazz-rock.

@the.bloodless.one1312 12 лет назад

I'd love to see a documentary on the progressive rock scene in italy during the 70s. how amazing would that be!!! :(

@progdocs 11 лет назад

If you get the Romantic Warriors II - About Rock in Opposition documentary and the Special Features DVD of RW II, you'll be able to see Thinking Plague's performance and get to know a bit about their history.

@RookProductions 12 лет назад

Nice vid, but shorter than most songs of the genre :)

@Vineyardedge 14 лет назад

It is hard to make a living playing music now. Good job putting yourselves here on RU-vid where word can get out that you do indeed, exist. It's fans like me that you need. Good old prog lovers like yourselves. I believe that you can promote yourself and sell your music online. We may not get rich at this, but you guys look better without BLING anyways. :D Huggzz

@progdocs 11 лет назад

Both fall under the umbrella of Progressive Music, same as Zeuhl, Canterbury, and several other Jazz-Rock varieties.

@BigTymerPimp 14 лет назад

Prog-Metal and Prog-Rock aren't as different as red and blue. I personally enjoy both. You're all being like the people who hate Prog music, but even worse since it is a hate inside the very genre you love. Progessive music is progessive regardless of whether it is heavier and agressive or softer and mellow. Let's not forget that some prog-rock and prog-metal bands bridge the gap between the two. I'm not just some progressive music guy either. I love all styles of music.

I love Progressive Music (Frank Zappa is my particular favourite tough I know he was somewhat more than that) and I love progressive Playing, but I could never get into "Freeform Jazz". I'm a Bassist and I'm more into Players like Scott Thunes more so than Jaco Pastorius. I love Technical Bass Playing but I do not enjoy the "upper-register" Jazz Bass Solos that so many of the Jazz Bassists do. I think its a question of personal taste. Would you agree?

@kfsfkakf: All music forms are looked down upon to some extent. Prog is no exception. Ethnic folk music is also made fun of. Irish music and dance is a perfect example. I'm Irish and our music has been made fun of for generations. It's just the way it is. Opera is hated by many people. Classical, early rock and roll, you name it. Way more people hated the Beatles than liked them in 1964. It's human nature to dislike things you don't understand.

Hey, that was the trailer? It did it's job ... gonna check the DVD out. Masterrese - I might not have pro advice, but practical. Someone said, "Don't make room for the gift; let the gift make room for you." If you love what you do, and you know many other people love it too, make a CD, DVD, whatever works, and self publish it: Amazon, iTunes, etc. In today's internet world, it's inexcusable to waste away at a prison (dead-end job) and not live the life. Develop the Talent!

@Ultrasonic240sx I guess kids nowadays think they're the same, so metal is swallowing rock - the other day a kid told me he was studying classical guitar and "metal" guitar - they don't even know about blues and rock and roll and everybody sounds the same (I have to admit I'm prejudiced because I hate metal prog).

@derekgiannone 13 лет назад

I dont know if anyone noticed in the beginning when the german dude was talking about working and working and reaching the final solution. Some wrong with that picture? lol all jokes aside these dudes are going for shit they know they wont make a lot of money with and they still do it.

@kfsfkakf 14 лет назад

I hate the fact that prog rock has always been looked down upon n i dont see y. its complex sophisticated n all that stuff n most ppl hate it for tht but thats y i love it it show originality, creativity n musicianship like no other

@MichaelKnight71 14 лет назад

@SephynnXx well i can find things like the "popular" prog bands like pink floyd, yes, Dream Theater, but anything more obscure than that is a lucky find for me, king crimson for one (have never been able to find an album anywhere.

@TheMercurySmile 14 лет назад

Oh man, I absolutely adore Phideaux's work! He's so intelligent for melodies and smooth keyboard lines! Phideaux we LOVE you!!!

@earinsound 12 лет назад

We need a Thinking Plague documentary! :)

@chevpowr 14 лет назад

@SephynnXx i took it as big box stores....they werent talking about record stores odviously. Target, Walmart, and others just dont carry the widest selection or support new artists

@RMarsupial 13 лет назад

@wigginsdesign I think what's sadder than that is people who were around in the seventies, and liked it, but don't realize it's still going strong (if not, better) today!

@IAmSoMuchBetterThanYou 14 лет назад

@MrFigueroa007 people seem disinclined to actually listen to music now. It's a travesty.

@trenshawvanderbilt1446 12 лет назад

Does anyone know the names of the three band's that the dude at 7:02 is talking about? He's making me want to listen to them

@progdocs 12 лет назад

We already made one with Thinking Plague! Check our ROMANTIC WARRIORS II documentary on our channel.

@organs ROTFLMAO at ELP being obscure! They were the most commercially successful of them all!

@Ultrasonic240sx I'm buying a 240SX tommoro!!!! And yes prog rock is way better

@yootesa1515 13 лет назад

some of these guys (the young folks) are seriously pretentious

@MrCamelneck 12 лет назад

The Clash & Public Image Limited are not prog rock. They are garage rock.

@Rachelspapa 14 лет назад

Can someone tell me the name of the song D.F.A. is playing at 7:15?

@HardRockTubeN 13 лет назад

Why is Progressive jazz and Prog rock always lumped together ?

@progdocs 11 лет назад

Yeah, the three bands are DFA from Italy, the Wrong Object from Belgium, and Simak Dialog from Indonesia.

@progdocs 13 лет назад

@TheProggirl Have you watched it already?

@TheProggirl 13 лет назад

@progdocs not yet,thanks for the reminder! :-)

@eliunger16 12 лет назад

what song does cheer- accident play

@eliunger16 12 лет назад

at 8:32 what is that song called

@wigginsdesign 14 лет назад

I really feel for this genre being a huge fan since 1970. Sad that most people never got a clue and missed out on a whole magical world. Prog is for the adventurous mind. Unfortunately its' often rejected by even the jazz musician who are locked into a particular style or manner than Prog

@organs 14 лет назад

@MichaelKnight71 You're kidding, right? I saw "In the Court of the Crimson King" at my local Best Buy. If you want to know about more obscure prog bands, there's also Iluvatar, Vandergraaf Generator, Gentle Giant, and ELP.

@Ibik 12 лет назад

0.07 what song is that?

@progdocs 13 лет назад

@Mordain607 True, one of the main purposes of this film is to try to create some awareness of the ongoing contemporary progressive music scene among the baby boomers. Good news is that Romantic Warriors will be broadcast on US National (Public) TV in June 2011. We hope this nationwide effort touches some hearts (and brains) and help many people realize that the genre never died and that there out hundreds of young (and not so young) bands out there creating incredible music ! Thanks.

@applejacksss 13 лет назад

@derekgiannone A lot of bands do it for the pure love of music! One of my favorite bands is Kenso, e.g. the band is headed by a full time dentist. He has a comfortable life as a dentist and does the music on his spare time. All the members have full times jobs. Its the love for the music not for the money. PR is about the only genre/sub genre where most bands don't have delusions of being #1 and making billions.They just wanna make albums. Albums that have the POWER to end wars and hunger :)

at 0:53, that's Cheer Accident during their rehearsal. At 6:00 and 8:32, that is Cabezas de Cera playing.

@hectoreguiluz 15 лет назад

I've seen Cabezas de Cera three times (Teatro de la Ciudad, CNA, Festival de las disqueras independientes). The experience was amazing, way beyond anything i've listen live.

@Livenlaff 14 лет назад

Nice!

@progdocs 11 лет назад

The song at 6:00 is Laberinto, from the album "Hecho en México" of Mexican band Cabezas de Cera. The song at 8:32 is called lndomable, from Cabezas' album "MetalMusica".

@mohomoho1 14 лет назад

What is the point? It was never that good with the exception of Magma who I just recently found out about 7 years ago.I'm almost 50.Heard most of it from that genre.Magma combined,soul,jazz,and classical into a mutation that can't be matched today IMO.The Krautrock band Can also sums it up for me along w. Electric Miles Davis.Bitches Brew etc.I guess when you run out of ideas musically and there is a younger audience that is unaware of free jazz,fusion,prog. rock etc..Why not rehash again.
