The Mellow Side of Prog
from low light mixes · host Low Light Mixes
Back in 2007 I did a Prog Rock mix that is still one of my favorite low light mixes. You can find the original post & download here...PROG ROCK '07. I've always wanted to do another prog mix. While on a pro rock binge I came across "For Absent Friends" by Genesis and that gave me the idea of doing a mellow prog mix. In the original mix I tried to stay away from prog rock mainstays like Genesis & Yes & King Crimson. This time I couldn't resist some big names like Pink Floyd, Genesis, Brian Eno & Crimson. Those well known artists combine with some Cantebury scene music from National Health, Soft Machine & Hugh Hopper and Al Gowen. Most of the tunes are vintage 70's music, with only a couple newer tracks from Willowglass & David Gilmore. I included kind of an oddball cut from Tony R. Clef. It's an acoustic cover of Genesis' "Undertow." He has a few other Genesis tunes that he covers on his YouTube channel here. I know this mix is a bit different than the usual Low Light Mixes fair, but it was fun to put together and I hope you enjoy it.
