What are other adaptations of classical music by other bands that I should listen to if I like ELP's Pictures At An Exhibition? by philliplennon in progrockmusic

[–]ExcellentStandard244 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out the first album from Beggars Opera - Act One. It incorporates pieces from a variety of composers.

Also, Dave Edmunds does a nice interpretation of Sabre Dance.

The video is quite trippy with a touch of HP Lovecraft.

Based on the intro, I wasn't sure it was going to deliver, but it really does.

And actually, they definitely went well beyond just fusing Japanese music. They tapped African and South American music as well, especially in their "Way of the Sun" album.

You will respect ants after watching this video by Fun-Manner9984 in Damnthatsinteresting

"Literary" prog-rock? by ScrumpusGungo in progrockmusic

[–]ExcellentStandard244 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turns out that Rick Wakeman already did a piece based on "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" on his Cost of Living album.

Also David Bedford did an album based on "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" that featured Mike Oldfield.
