Exactly! That's the hairsplit, the difference between progressive
the act,
or verb, i.e.- Radiohead, and the genre we've come to know as "prog",
which is sometimes anything other than progressive, bands that play
in the style of the 70's, AKA "Neoprog".
I'd have to say I lean toward Progressive bands, or bands that were
progressive in their time. CTTE was progressive in it's day, The
Ladder I'd have to say, isn't. A few nice tunes, but nothing groundbreaking
or advancing the genre.
Yes in some ways, is now forced into a box of having to duplicate their
former sound, not to alienate the following.
I doubt they could get away w/ something as leftfield as Relayer these days.
