YOUR SHOUT!

They may have grown up listening to ELP, King Crimson, Greenslade and Hawkwind, but it’s the Prog readers’ views that matter: how prog were Underworld?

“I JAMES loved GRIFFITHS their predecessor, Freur.”

“If ANDY it’s who WYATT I think they are, then possibly not, really…”

“Freur’s ANDREW Doot WILLIAM Doot GRAHAM is a classic.”

“Progtronica, JOSHUA CREASEY maybe?”

“I MORAY bloody MACDONALD love Underworld.” “I’d Graaf rather Generator.” listen to Underworld than Van der

JIM “Good choice! Definitely one of the more experimental and progressive bands in the EDM genre. They even have some proper songs!”

NEIL HOPKINS “One of the best dance bands out there, constantly moving forward, still going strong. Songs like Cowgirl,

Rez, King Of Snake, to name but a few, are awesome. Progressive dance music indeed.”

JAMES SHARDLOW “I think with this choice I now know where my outer limit is.”

STEVE HAWKINS “For me they’re a direct descendant of the likes of Tangerine Dream, but with a dance beat. The long pieces that gradually evolve carried the progressive ethos into new territory.”

MARTIN INGRAM “Definitely proggy in da house and I very much enjoyed

Caliban’s Dream at da ’Limpics, though Rez is probably my favourite…”

SPIKE WORSLEY “They are prog in spirit. Fearless and always intriguing.”

RICHARD EAST “Very cool music, everything I have heard by them sounds fantastic. The use of Born Slippy in Trainspotting was intense, I love ’em.”

BUZZ ELLIOTT “Karl Hyde’s two albums with Eno and Rupert Hine’s production of Underworld’s debut (and subsequent work together) certainly points them in the direction of prog.”

PHIL MORRIS “I know Mr Daryl Easlea extols their virtues as an underrated prog band. Have to say that I’m not convinced…”

IAN POPE “They are in that progressive field of electronic music that stretches from Tangerine Dream, through The Orb to Lunatic Soul today.”

PAUL LEADER

“Not for me, thank you.”
