Prog Britannia auf BBC 4

[King Heath]

Könnte dies die Sendung sein, die vor kurzem auf arte lief?

Feature-length documentary structured in three parts, charting the birth, rise and decline of progressive rock - the musical genre known for complex structure, technical virtuosity and literary influences. Beginning with the psychedelic pop scene that spawned the movement in the late 1960s, it then moves on to its golden age with the global success of bands such as ELP, Yes and Genesis. The final part observes its fall from grace as the impact of punk and the over-ambition and commercialisation of the music led to its downfall. Featuring contributions by Soft Machine's Robert Wyatt, Mike Oldfield, King Crimson's Pete Sinfield, Rick Wakeman from Yes, Genesis's Phil Collins, Arthur Brown from Kingdom Come, ELP's Carl Palmer and Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull.
