Progressive rock

Progressive rock

Progressive rock is a broad genre of rock music that developed in the United Kingdom and United States through the mid- to late 1960s, peaking in the early 1970s. Initially termed "progressive pop", the style was an outgrowth of psychedelic bands who abandoned standard pop traditions in favour of instrumentation and compositional techniques more frequently associated with jazz, folk, or classical music. Additional elements contributed to its "progressive" label: lyrics were more poetic, technology was harnessed for new sounds, music approached the condition of "art", and the studio, rather than the stage, became the focus of musical activity, which often involved creating music for listening rather than dancing.

It stands on the River Thames in south-east England at the head of a 50-mile (80 km) estuary down to the North Sea, and has been a major settlement for two millennia. The City of London, its ancient core and financial centre, was founded by the Romans as Londinium and retains its medieval boundaries. The City of Westminster, to the west of the City of London, has for centuries hosted the national government and parliament. Since the 19th century, the name "London" has also referred to the metropolis around this core, historically split between the counties of Middlesex, Essex, Surrey, Kent, and Hertfordshire, which since 1965 has largely comprised Greater London, which is governed by 33 local authorities and the Greater London Authority.

History

1969–1988

Supertramp were formed under the name of Daddy by Roger Hodgson, Richard Palmer, Rick Davies and Keith Baker.[1] Baker was soon replaced by Robert Millar, who performed on the group's self-titled debut album.[2] Shortly after the album's release in July 1970, Dave Winthrop joined on flute and saxophone, while both Palmer and Millar left.[2] Palmer's role was taken over by Hodgson, with Frank Farrell joining on bass and Kevin Currie joining on drums.[2] After the release of their second album Indelibly Stamped in June 1971, Supertramp began to fracture as they lost their funding and Farrell, Currie and Winthrop all left the band between 1972 and 1973.[2]

Davies and Hodgson rebuilt Supertramp in 1973, bringing in new members Dougie Thomson on bass, Bob Siebenberg on drums and John Helliwell on saxophone and woodwind instruments, who together released the band's "breakthrough" album Crime of the Century in 1974.[3] This lineup remained stable for a total of ten years, until Hodgson left in 1983 following a period of "musical differences" with the rest of the group, mainly Davies.[4] The group continued as a four-piece with touring musicians following Hodgson's departure, releasing the less successful Brother Where You Bound in 1985 and Free as a Bird in 1987, before breaking up the following year.[5]

1996 onwards

In 1996, Supertramp reformed with returning members Davies, Siebenberg and Helliwell, plus new members Mark Hart (keyboards, guitar, vocals), Carl Verheyen (guitar, backing vocals), Cliff Hugo (bass), Lee Thornburg (trumpet, trombone, backing vocals) and Tom Walsh (percussion). After the release of Some Things Never Change in 1997, Walsh was replaced by Jesse Siebenberg, son of drummer Bob.[6] Slow Motion followed in 2002.[2] Davies and Hodgson tried on several occasions to reunite in Supertramp, to no avail.[7] In April 2010, Davies reformed Supertramp to commemorate the band's 40th anniversary,[8] with Gabe Dixon replacing Mark Hart, and new member Cassie Miller joining on backing vocals.[9] Hart returned in 2015, although a concert tour was cancelled due to Davies undergoing treatment for cancer.[10]

Flageolet

Flageolet

The flageolet is a woodwind instrument and a member of the fipple flute family which includes recorders and tin whistles. Its invention was erroneously ascribed to the 16th-century Sieur Juvigny in 1581. There are two basic forms of the instrument: the French, having four finger holes on the front and two thumb holes on the back; and the English, having six finger holes on the front and sometimes a single thumb hole on the back. The latter was developed by English instrument maker William Bainbridge, resulting in the "improved English flageolet" in 1803. There are also double and triple flageolets, having two or three bodies that allowed for a drone and countermelody. Flageolets were made until the 19th century.

Indelibly Stamped

Indelibly Stamped

Indelibly Stamped is the second album by the English rock band Supertramp, released in 1971. It marked a dramatic change in direction to a more straightforward rock sound, and by admission of the band's own liner notes, "Travelled" is the only song with any resemblance to their debut album. Like their debut, this album was a commercial failure upon release, but in later decades it went gold in France and Canada. Original editions have a colour gate-fold cover and different text for the band name and album title. The cover photograph features the tattooed torso and arms of a topless woman. This is the first Supertramp album issued in the U.S.; the cover was in colour, but A&M pasted two gold stars over the nipples. The album was banned from a number of record stores in Australia, while others sold each copy inside a brown paper sleeve.
