The Progressive Rock Laboratory

About Me

If you like Caravan. If you like Van der Graaf Generator. If you like Focus. If you like Hatfield and the North. If you like Yes. If you like Genesis. If you like Pink Floyd. We are nothing like these bands. We are THE PROGRESSIVE ROCK LABORATORY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND.

TPRLOTUKOGBANL, is the new musical project from the creative geniuses behind The Pectins.

Music will never be the same again.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 08/02/2006
Band Members: Augustus Snodgrass McKendrick: Vocals, keyboards, harmonica

Christ von Hoogstraaten: Vocals, guitars, theremin

Seismology O'Toole: Mellotron, Leslie, Hammond

Erasmus Tavistock: Drums

Poulet Vous: Percussion

Terry Tumescence: Bass
Influences: If we look at the first phase of Steve Reich's career, we see playful polyrhythmic experiments such as "Clapping Music". The second phase was one of repetitive, evolving phrases played on percussive and mallet instruments "Six Pianos" or "Music for Mallet Instruments". The third phase took his early interest in cut-up voices and combined this with layered polyphony: "Different Trains" or "Electric Counterpoint". We are heavily influenced by the third Reich.
Sounds Like: MENSA-members with musical instruments. Just imagine the possibilities.
Record Label: Pectin Music Nob Jam Industrie SpA
Type of Label: Major
