New Book on Prog music: The Progressive Underground Volume Three!
The third volume of the three-volume series containing progressive rock reviews and interviews from 1991-2006 has just been released by Gonzo Media. It has a foreword by Artur Chachlowski (www.mlwz.pl) and Steve Paine of Legend, while the rear cover features comments by Gary Chandler (Jadis) and John Dexter Jones (Jump). Volume 1 contained artists A-H, Volume 2 I-S, while this completes the alphabet and also includes small reviews, compilations, Video/DVDs, interviews and live reviews. It contains full colour cover artwork, as well as old band photos.
There has never been another series of books available like this, placing the spotlight on a maligned genre of music in a period when very little was being written about it in a positive manner. The three books combined are nearly 1000 pages in length, with a total of half a million words, larger than Lord of The Rings. In the review of Volume 1 in Record Collector, Daryl Easlea said “A book that will be quickly referred to as “a bible”.”
