Fricke’s Picks: Bill Bruford’s Drummer’s View

The Autobiography: Yes, King Crimson, Earthworks, and More (Jawbone Press), by the English drummer Bill Bruford, is a wandering but frequently hilarious recounting of his long life in progressive rock and jazz, surviving, among other things, early van rides with Yes and the eccentricities of Crimson’s ruling “magus,” guitarist Robert Fripp. Bruford also defends U.K. prog-rock without oversentiment (”the vital expression of a bohemian, middle-class intelligentsia”) and, defying every drummer joke you’ve ever heard, writes successfully from inside the music, as in this description of the gamelan–guitar sound of the early-Eighties Crimson: “A good performance… was like making circles in the air with a feather duster.” I wish I’d written that.

Yes Team With Asia For Super-Prog Summer Tour

Photo: McCarthy/WireImage The proggiest tour of all time, Yes with special guests Asia, is hitting the road this summer. For prog fans the enormous implications of this tour are quite clear. For others, imagine Wings opening up for the Beatles or the Justice League taking up music and hitting the road. It’s that big. Steve Howe, who plays guitar in both groups, will be doing double duty during the show. Also onstage will be members of King Crimson, Emerson Lake and Palmer, the Buggles, two other

Fricke’s Picks: Porcupine Tree, the Future Kings of England and the Raspberries

The Art of Nightmares Porcupine Tree – the long-running British progressive-rock band founded and commanded by singer-guitarist-composer Steven Wilson – are rare in their field: obsessed not with fantasy but the death of it, particularly in children. At a recent head-trip gig at New York’s Beacon Theatre, films of sickly-white preteen zombies – hypnotized by computer screens, gulping medication, brandishing handguns – were projected on a screen behind Wilson during his tangled distortion-bomb riffing in the long title track of the recent album, Fear of a Blank Planet (Atlantic), and the record’s even longer centerpiece nightmare, “Anesthetize.” A schoolgirl ran amok in what looked like a ruined psych ward during the convulsive title instrumental from the group’s new EP, Nil Recurring (Transmission). Wilson started Porcupine Tree in 1987 as a home-studio experiment that has since evolved, live and on an extensive series of records, into an aggressively modern merger of Rush’s arena art rock, U.K. prog classicism – especially Pink Floyd’s eulogies to madness and King Crimson’s angular majesty – and the postgrunge vengeance of Tool. There are no dragons evident on Fear of a Blank Planet or Nil Returning. But there are plenty of demons. And King Crimson guitarist-sage Robert Fripp plays on both records, an impeccable seal of approval. New Royal Freaks Witches and fiends run riot through the lyrics and instrumental vapors of the six extended tracks on The Fate of Old Mother Orvis (Backwater), by the Future Kings of England. The audaciously named British band’s mix of art rock and freak folk is also rife with other specters – the pastoral Floyd, ’72 Genesis, the echosoup psychedelia of Amon Düül II – whipped together with an ardor that sounds like yesterday and tomorrow at once. Seventies Rock Candy Hard and sweet, the Raspberries were never the second coming of the Beatles. They were, in the early Seventies, and still are – based on a show I just saw by the original li

"No World for Tomorrow" by Coheed & Cambria

Hands down, Coheed & Cambria's biggest asset is its commitment to dorkiness. The latest release from the New York four-piece serves as the final pane in an outer-space comic book that began on 2002's The Second Stage Turbine Blade. Naturally, the story is tough to follow, but this much is clear: something of interstellar importance hangs in the balance, and frontman Claudio Sanchez holds a secret. Sonically, Turbine Blade paired its spacey narrative arc and punk-pop bounce with imposing song structures, lengthy titles and oddball time signatures—in short, it was a baby prog monster. With each subsequent release—2003's In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 and 2005's Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV: Vol 1—C&C nurtured an increasing interest in Rush-sized melodrama and King Crimson theatrics. In short, the baby was growing up. On No World for Tomorrow—the sequel to Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV: Vol

The ‘Atlantic’ 150th-Anniversary Party: A Play in One Act

Mayor Bloomberg apparently had time to talk with P.J. O'Rourke. Harumph!Photo: Getty ImagesThe curtain rises on an empty stage, set with just one large circular bar in the center, manned by four bartenders dressed in black. The house is empty, so the hundreds of red velvet chairs cast an eerie crimson glow on to the party. Revelers drift in, including the writer Tom Wolfe, Amanda Burden, Moby, P.J. O'Rourke and Atlantic editors. A Boy Reporter and Girl Reporter from New York Magazine drift in. In actuality, they had arrived at the party too early and had to go across the street to get drinks at a noisy club. So they are both a little sheepish. And drunk. The pair begins to look for famous people to interview and spot Mayor Bloomberg, who arrived on the same elevator as drag king Murray Hill. Girl Reporter: Mayor Bloomberg, hello! We write for New York Magazine. Could we- Mayor Bloomberg: I subscribe to New York Magazine. I pay your salary. Girl Reporter: Oh, um, thanks! So, we were wondering… [Mayor Bloomberg walks away] Boy Reporter: Good try! Girl Reporter: Eh, let's get a drink. [An audience begins to trickle in. It's mostly old people (though hot young NYU students were promised by publicists), and the crowd doesn't quite fill the house.] Boy Reporter: Maybe we should split up, you know? Divide and conquer? I'll start by talking to Nick Denton and Andrew Sullivan over there. Girl Reporter: You always go straight for the gays. That's a cop-out. Boy Reporter: Fine, fine. I'll talk to Arianna Huffington. You talk to Tom Wolfe. [At that moment, tired of being bothered by people, Wolfe exits.] Or not. [The Reporters split up. The Boy approaches Arianna Huffington. The Girl goes to chat with Observer reporter Doree Shafrir and Portfolio hottie Jeff Bercovici, because she is a wimp.] [Stage right] Girl Reporter [to Bercovici, inanely]: You look like your illustration on Portfolio's Website. Bercovicci: I've been told I look like the guy from Maroon Five. [Stage l
