Good ol' 70s prog

More work-related explorations of prog.  By work-related, I mean that sometimes when I'm at work I like to listen to random prog albums while I crunch data.  That's one of the things I do at work - take big chunks of numbers from a variety of places, and put them into a new place, and then compare the numbers to each other in different ways to learn things about stuff that is interesting.  It sometimes takes several hours to work through a set, so having some fun, strange, interesting, meandering music to drift along on is quite nice.

So, yesterday I discovered a couple of albums that I'll be listening to again for sure.  The first was Satin Whale, and it was pretty solid.  Sometimes youtube just loads up something else after one video is done, and sometimes it doesn't.  In this case, a new album started playing.  It was by a band called Steamhammer.  I liked it better than Satin Whale.  That's some solid musical exploration right there.



There really seems to be an endless supply of early 70s prog bands and albums, from all over the world.
