This is a brilliant new survey of progressive rock, from its roots
through to more contemporary artists who share similar traits
including Sonic Youth and Radiohead. A sleeping new study, "Beyond
and Before" considers the high period of the early to mid-1970s,
where there was widespread acceptance of the 'progressive' approach
of detailed instrumentation, extended tracks and conceptual linkage
and development across albums. Hegarty and Halliwell assess the
roots of progressive rock, arguing convincingly that a fusion of
styles, approaches and genres defined the 1970s period, and the
authors develop tools to assess other, later progressive musics.
Each set of connections are justified and grounded by close textual
readings of musical works, a consideration of their material
presentation, and an examination of performance and cultural
contexts. Through close analysis, the authors show that something
'progressive' underpins many subgenres of rock. Featuring
discussions not just of the obvious subjects and albums, but also
of music by artists as diverse as Kate Bush, Talk Talk, Mars Volta,
Tortoise, Joanna Newsom, Sonic Youth and Radiohead, "Beyond and
Before" is ideal reading for anyone who's interested in exploring
the history and meaning of progressive rock in all its forms.
