From its artful beginnings (Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd the Mothers of Invention and those progressive forebearers the Sgt. Pepper-era Beatles) through the towering guitar solos monumental synthesizer banks and mind-boggling special effects of the Golden Age of Prog (Rush Pink Floyd Yes ELP Genesis Jethro Tull King Crimson UK) through the radio-friendly pop era (Asia the Phil Collins-led Genesis and a reformed Yes) and right up to the present state of the art (Marillion Spock's Beard and Mars Volta) this is a wickedly incisive tour of rock music at its most spectacular. This is indeed the book prog rock fans have been waiting for the only one of its kind as fantastic as the subjects it covers.
