## Description

.com          Wow, and furthermore, wow. Rhino has a history of doing things up right, but this time it's outdone itself. More than five hours of prog, from The Nice to Golden Earring, presented thoroughly and largely chronologically. Depending on your outlook, it's either heaven or hell. There's plenty here to occupy the idle, drug-riddled mind; some well known (Focus's "Hocus Pocus," ELP's "Knife Edge," Genesis) and some wonderfully obscure (Wigwam in their pre-Virgin days, when they were an obscure, Finnish-Irish outfit, and Hatfield and the North's delicious first single, "Let's Eat Again [Real Soon]," which had nothing to do with food). Of course, it's mostly European, but that's where prog was, (as was punk, but that's another discussion altogether). You even get the Italians from outer space, PFM, and one of the few French bands to mean anything--Magma. Toss in some Roxy Music, a few Krauts, early ELO, and a whole host of others, and you have something close to paradise, or overkill. With cover art by--who else--Roger Dean, and a tab of windowpane (just kidding, really!), it's everything you could imagine a prog rock box being. Bloody glorious. --Chris Nickson

    Good sampler of progressive rock
  

*by B***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2013*

I was getting into prog-rock in a big way right around the time this boxed set came out, so I immediately bought a copy.  I found it to be a useful sampler of early progressive rock bands.  Yes, one could argue that some of the biggest names and most influential bands are missing, but Rhino did the best they could with what the music they had access to.  Prog rock fans tend to be overly-opinionated, so there will always be arguments that this song should have been included, or that song shouldn't have been included...heck, you'll never even get two progressive rock fans to agree on what "progressive rock" is, so I don't envy the person who had to pick the track listing for this box.Personally, I'm glad the set isn't just well known tracks by top selling bands, because I already own most of the albums by those bands anyway, so their absence leaves more room on the discs for obscure music that I hadn't heard before.  In fact, I'm slightly annoyed that some of the big name bands (for example Yes and Genesis) get multiple tracks when that space seems like it could have been put to better use by featuring more lesser known bands.  But I guess Rhino wanted some hits and known band names to help boost sales to casual music fans.  It's also annoying that the set makes it seem like progressive rock is something that just stopped in the late 70s.  I'd love to see Rhino put together a follow-up box that tracks prog-rock of the 80s, 90s and beyond.Bottom line is that this is an enjoyable boxed set, and I found it very helpful in terms of giving me leads on what bands I should persue further (and which ones I shouldn't waste money on).  I'm listening to the box right now for the first time in years, and it still stands up as a great collection of music.  It'll drive the sort of people who watch American Idol right out of the room, but anyone who likes interesting music should enjoy it.  Come to think of it, driving away American Idol fans should be considered a bonus feature.I wouldn't pay an arm and a leg for the set, but if you're a fan of the genre and can find it for a decent price, it's worth picking up.Oh, and the track listing for disc 4 isn't quite right - the set lists track 2 as "Siberian Khatru" by Yes, but it's actually another song from the Close to the Edge album, "And You And I".  Oddly though, they decided to fade the song out less than a minute before it normally ends - almost like they had reserved enough space on the disc for Siberian Khatru then made a last minute decision to change the song, but had to fade it out to make it fit.  Kind of puzzling.  I've seen a couple sites list that track as an alternate studio version of "And You and I", but it's not - it's just the standard version faded out a little early.  Not a big deal - anyone who's a progressive rock fan will probably already own a copy of Close to the Edge anyway.
