The live side (Quasi Day Room) was a show here in Seattle, the first show HT ever played outside Colorado IIRC, was attended by about 30 people, many of whom were from the music press & blogs but one of the few attendees was yours truly. Their performance was the absolute best of the festival (2002 The Progman Cometh) by all who saw them, and became a bit of a legend. I was incredibly lucky to have comped tickets





HT is more or less an instrumental version of TP

How interesting! It's a kind of sophisticated rock, a little hard rock, in combination with many other things, even tango! I'll have to listen to it some more!
I'll recommend The Aristocrats. Top-notch trio!

Hey,

I'm new here so be nice.

Anyone has some suggestions of songs that have the same trippy vibe and experience as Planet Caravan - Black Sabbath and also Zeitgeist - Sabbath?

I've looked far and wide for songs with the same eerie beauty but no luck.

Thanks

P.s The album above is kickass, thanks!

Usually songs with names related to the cosmos are pretty promising. Also I think if you looked into more stoner metal bands you'd be pretty satisfied, not sure if you're aware that genre exists or not. They tend to deliver on trippy heaviness. Happy hunting, and enjoy these! I'm sure someone else here could lead you to songs more on the psychadelic rock side, and I will be stealing those recs.

Those are just for everyone

Alright, it's been several years since I've listened to a single second of any prog album besides my two favorites which I will mention in a moment, and I'm feeling adventurous.

Here's what I've heard: I enjoy pretty much all of the Pink Floyd albums. I find Aqualung and In the Court of the Crimson King to be excellent. I hate every Rush song I've ever listened to. I think Genesis is solid and Yes is also solid. Emerson, Lake, and Palmer is pretty mediocre to me. I've heard a couple more modern proggish bands like The Mars Volta (decent, very interesting) and Porcupine Tree (not that interesting to me, pretty bleh). I've always listened to a couple Dream Theater albums and ehhhhhhhh.

That's pretty much all the prog I've ever heard. Given that snippet of info, what can people rec me?

You would probably like Hawkwind's In Search of Space and Can's Ege Bamyasi. It's not very similar to the albums you mentioned but Mahavishnu Orchestra's Birds of Fire is a prog/fusion classic that is worth your time.

Also, you might like Caravan's "In the Land of the Gray and Pink" and Camel's "Mirage". You should also check out some of Jethro Tull's other albums such as Benefit, Stand Up, and Thick As a Brick.
