Supernatural Fairy Tales: The Progressive Rock Era

Reviewed by Tom Sinclair

VARIOUS ARTISTS
Supernatural Fairy Tales: The Progressive Rock Era (Rhino)

While prog produced its share of pretentious piffle, it wasn't all bad, as this five-CD retrospective proves. The usual suspects (Yes, ELP, Genesis) are here, but it's obscure acts like Atomic Rooster and Savage Rose that provide the most ear-catching moments, melding rock, classical, folk, and jazz in jarring, uncategorizable symphonies of blood and thunder. Punk junkies, steer clear. B- Grade: B-
