Mountains come out of the sky - Will Romano

From its artful beginnings (Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd
the Mothers of Invention
and those progressive forebearers
the Sgt. Pepper-era Beatles)
through the towering guitar solos
monumental synthesizer banks
and mind-boggling special effects of the Golden Age of Prog (Rush
Pink Floyd
Yes
ELP
Genesis
Jethro Tull
King Crimson
UK)
through the radio-friendly
pop era
(Asia
the Phil Collins-led Genesis
and a reformed Yes)
and right up to the present state of the art (Marillion
Spock's Beard
and Mars Volta)
this is a wickedly incisive tour of rock music at its most spectacular. This is indeed the book prog rock fans have been waiting for
the only one of its kind
as fantastic as the subjects it covers.
