Hello,
Anyone else here a fan?
For those of you who haven't heard of it before, it's Christian music in the style of progressive rock - like Yes, Genesis, Rush, Jethro Tull, and bands like that. The music is dense, extremely complicated, and very symphonic. Songs and even whole albums tend to follow complex themes or ideas, but the music itself is often soaring and beautiful. Songs can be long - sometimes as much as 20-25 minutes. A lot of the time the music is based on spiritual ideas, but in the past few years some of the artists have made openly Christian albums.
One good example is Neal Morse - he just released and album called "?" that is based entirely around the tabernacle in the wilderness, and the idea that Jesus was the high priest who took God out of the temple and into the hearts of everyone of us. It's really a very moving and powerful album. has anyone else heard it of heard of Neal Morse?
Here's hoping to find some fellow progressive rock fans....
Grace and peace,
Jason
