Back cover
A fusion of 1950s jazz, psychedelic rock and symphonic music, progressive rock has produced some of the biggest names on the music scene from the 1970s to the present day. Pink Floyd produced some of their finest albums under its influence, whilst King Crimson, Yes, Genesis, Peter Gabriel and Soft Machine developed unique and sophisticated sounds. Taking root in Germany under the name ‘Krautrock’ and in France thanks to bands such as Magma, this movement continues to inspire artists such as Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, Ozric Tentacles and Mars Volta.
*Progressive Rock Vinyls* tells the story of this movement and its key figures, drawing on numerous quotes, anecdotes and, above all, the visual world of over 500 vinyl sleeves, whose designers – when not the musicians themselves – include none other than Roger Dean, H. R. Giger, Paul Whitehead, Hipgnosis, Storm Thorgeson and Man Ray...
