<description><![CDATA[In addition to the enduring 1982 hit song "Heat of the Moment," to which the band is now and forever tied, and its equally great partner in crime, "Only Time Will Tell," Asia also pioneered a style of prog rock that put the emphasis on pop sheen rather than maze-like song structures lifted from bad classical music. During the 1980s and early '90s, prog rock acts like Yes, Genesis and Emerson, Lake & Palmer enjoyed tons of airplay and hit records. Unfortunately for the members of Asia -- Geoff Downes, formerly of Yes; John Wetton, formerly of King Crimson; Steve Howe, also a former member of Yes; and Carl Palmer from Emerson, Lake & Palmer -- they were unable to repeat the success of their self-titled debut with second record <I>Alpha</I>. From there, a "Ten Little Indians" scenario played out over the years until an entirely different band, led by Downes and replacement singer John Payne, was performing as "Asia with John Payne." This continued until 2008, when all four original members of the supergroup finally reunited and recorded <I>Phoenix</I>.

<description><![CDATA[Umphrey's McGee is often called the next generation jam band. While they're known for ever-changing set lists and incessant touring, U.M.'s seemingly endless jams bear more resemblance to prog-rock bands like Frank Zappa and Genesis. The original members (keyboardist Joel Cummins, guitarist Brendan Bayliss, bassist Ryan Stasik and drummer Mike Mirro) met at the University of Notre Dame in 1997. Percussionist Andy Farag joined in 1998 as U.M. live shows gained notoriety with wacky covers like <i>Peanuts</i> theme "Linus and Lucy." While album sales remained low, popularity soared as audiences continued the jam-band tradition of bootleg taping and trading. In 2000, U.M. became a sextet with the addition of second lead guitarist Jake Cinninger. One of their first productive jam sessions was in the Jimmy Stewart Ballroom of a Chicago hotel, spawning the name "Jimmy Stewart" for their onstage improv excursions. In 2002, they recorded <i>Local Band Does OKlahoma</i>, featuring the last appearance of Mirro, who was later replaced by Kris Myers. With a slew of studio and live releases, two DVD releases and never-ending tour seasons, U.M. remain at the forefront of the fourth-generation jam movement.

<description><![CDATA[Everything about Minus the Bear initially sounded like a joke, from their song titles ("Hey, Wanna Throw Up?") to the band's name (which really does come from an inside joke). But that doesn't mean you shouldn't take them seriously. This Seattle band has been earning the respect of critics and fans alike since it was formed in 2001 by guitarist David Knudson, bassist Cory Murchy and drummer Erin Tate. The three of them recruited singer/guitarist Jake Snider and keyboardist Matt Bayles (who left the band in 2006 and was replaced by Alex Rose). Several EPs, four albums (including remix album <I>Interpretaciones del Oso</I>) and a TON of touring followed, cementing Minus the Bear's reputation as a very serious band. And hey, they even got rid of the silly song titles on 2007's <I>Planet of Ice</I>. (Well, almost..."Ice Monster"?!)

<description><![CDATA[Certainly not an easy band to pigeonhole, Ozric Tentacles have been channeling music from a fantastical realm since the early '80s. Stylistically, they take inspiration from the spacey, Fusion-style jams and cosmic guitar solos of proud hippie predecessors Gong. Their instrumentals unfold like rollercoaster rides through the gloopy, new age/psychedelic territories pictured on their color-saturated album covers. They also incorporate a number of outside influences: Middle Eastern and Indian tonalities, reggae rhythms, Dub-inspired echo effects, and Techno/rave beats. Turn-of-the-'90s albums such as <I>Erpland</I> and <I>Pungent Effulgent</I> arguably represent their peak.

<description><![CDATA[Brother and sister Matthew and Eleanor Friedburger formed the Fiery Furnaces, after finding themselves both living in New York in 2001. With Eleanor on vocals and rhythm guitar, and Matthew on lead guitar, they managed to take a very traditional arrangement and turn it into one of the great surprises of 2003 when their debut, <I>Gallowsbird Bark</I>, was released. At a time when many of their peers were claiming to be influenced by the blues and post-punk, the Fiery Furnaces managed to take those influences and create a sound much more unique. From music-hall theatrics, to Captain Beefheart's chunky blues abstractions, from the bare-bones Velvet Underground drones, to sloppy classic rock in the vein of Royal Trux, ÃÂÃÂ­the Fiery Furnaces just sound different than anybody else. Eleanor Friedburger's vocals are distinct, tough and when she wraps them around phrases like, "you've got a wing in your snaggle tooth, and you can't kick it back with no 80-proof," it all makes sense in a surreal rock 'n' roll way that happens when nothing suddenly means everything. The release of 2004's <I>Blueberry Boat</I> upped the ante and tripled the song length. Each tune is like a version of the Who's mini-rock epic, "A Quick One," but with rather idiosyncratic lyrics about pirates and blueberries. Bold, ambitious, twisted and above all, great songwriters, the Fiery Furnaces continue to keep things interesting.

<description><![CDATA[And You Will Know... offer an almost garage/glam-flavored approximation of Sonic Youth's poppier tunes (think "Teenage Riot"). Their syrupy, compressed overdrive offers feedback and bristles with tube-shattering energy; meanwhile, Steve Shelley-inspired drum fills and classic, Bowie-inspired phrasing do their part.

<description><![CDATA[Marillion endure as scripters of dynamic musicality and elaborate narratives. Masterful musicianship and the drive to use every ounce of it generate constantly progressing songs and album-long explorations into genre fusion, fiction and fantasy. Even after replacing vocalist Fish with Steve Hogarth, their mythic lyricism finds a passionate voice.

<description><![CDATA[ASHES dIVIDE is the second band launched by Billy Howerdel, former guitar tech to the stars and creative force behind A Perfect Circle. Howerdel plays most of the instruments himself, but the band's 2008 debut, <I>Keep Telling Myself It's Alright</I>, featured appearances from members of Tool, Concrete Blonde and Alkaline Trio, among others. Musically Howerdel's project is focused on intricately woven, modern art rock.

<description><![CDATA[An immensely creative player, Belew can coax the oddest sounds from a guitar, making elephant roars and swooping whammy dives sound as natural as a fleet-fingered blues lick. His Stratocaster wails are an extension of Jimi Hendrix's playing, taking psychedelic freedom to the next level. As a studio musician Belew adds a personal voice, which becomes an integral part of a session, evidenced on recordings by King Crimson, David Bowie, the Talking Heads, Frank Zappa, Nine Inch Nails and many more. On his own albums, Belew started out quite experimental, eventually returning to his roots, writing poppy songs with a strong Beatles influence.

<description><![CDATA[One of the brainiest and most prolific NYC bands of the '00s began as a duo and has done time as a four-piece. But at heart they're a power trio, given to three-CD sets and conceptual trilogies, to freak-folk and slow metal and Krautrock and dub reggae, to plunking the same note over and over for a quarter-hour or more until you realize they've been gradually shifting all along. On early albums like 1999's <I>Enemy Hogs</I>, they come off as a kind of stoner-rock unit, but on 2000's definitive half-hour-plus <I>Steel Rod</I> EP, they squeeze Link Wray barbed-wire twang and a choogling Creedence cover into weird nerd-rock that balances the sludge with science-lab keyboards after the manner of Devo or Pere Ubu. "Power Animals," on 2000's <I>Come on Everybody Let's Rock</I>, was about a deadlocked presidential election -- not Bush and Gore, but Tilden and Hayes in 1876. On 2002's double disc, <I>Each One Teach One</I>, they carried water-torture minimalism to its breaking point, and since then -- averaging more or less an album a year -- they've gotten both daintier and dronier, picking up indie fans much younger than themselves, then regularly finding ways to dumbfound them.

<description><![CDATA[What started as a Theremin and vocal duo -- how's that for experimental minimalism? -- has expanded to include zither, trumpet, flute, clarinet and samples, samples, samples. That's not to say that Pram eschew typical rock instrumentation; songs such as "The Owl Service" are downright funky, with plenty of emphasis placed on the bass and drums to create a mood best described as "pastoral groove." (If you're familiar with <I>Camembert Electrique</I> (1971) by Gong, you're in the right ballpark.) Other works have a more transcendent, spacey quality -- a vague and pretty formlessness where circular melody lines cascade and horns trip merrily around keyboards and gentle string parts. Rosie Cuckston's vocals, a strange combination of the bad and the sublime, top it all off. Her breathy notes barely stay on key, but they match the dreamy music perfectly -- she never sounds sour. Pram has enough of their collective head tilted towards the past to sound good -- including all the great Psychedelic and Experimental music of bygone years -- while they effortlessly groove on their own Post-Modern trip.

<description><![CDATA[Gorky's Zygotic Mynci are one of the only non-derivative bands to publicly surface from a post-Trainspotting, Brit Pop world (although the band have been together since the mid-1980s). This Welsh outfit constantly challenge orthodox music structures as well as their own understanding of popular and obscure music. Their musicianship is flawless and constantly changing, as the band are not afraid to experiment and learn new tricks in the studio. Droney Moog tones, lazy brass blurts, steel slides, and soaring vocal harmonies seem to find way into the band's songs in one form or another. Musically, the band perform post-retro pop, Psychedelic matadorian laments, analogue orchestral folk songs, intergalactic space country, neo Prog jams, and many other hybrid styles that carry the band's own signature sound at the end of the day.

<description><![CDATA[Fretless bassist Percy Jones and drummer Frank Katz form a rhythm section so solid and inventive, it's bound to make your head spin. As a member of seminal Fusion outfit Brand X, Jones used to tear it up with Phil Collins, but while Collins is earning Grammys with schmaltzy ballads and Disney theme songs, these chopmeisters have stuck to their (quite blazing) guns. Marc Wagnon adds his jazz-mo-spheric keyboard vibes, complemented by the ripping, chromatic guitar lines of Van Manakas. Funky backbeats power the twisting melodies Tunnels travel through on their Berklee post-grad instrumental journeys. It's true their music maintains a heavy focus on virtuosity, but they're so good you'll quickly get lost in their impassioned improvisations.

<description><![CDATA[Led by Robert Fripp, one of the most revolutionary and cerebral guitarists in music, King Crimson have helped to define and develop both classic and New Prog. It may be Fripp's seemingly unquenchable need to find "the lost chord" that has driven the band through its extreme changes: bombastic, complex and possibly overstuffed '70s "Art Rock" on the one hand, and truly experimental sonic innovation with ties to early punk/New Wave outfits like Brian Eno and Talking Heads on the other. Fripp and co. (the band has undergone so many line-up changes it borders on the ridiculous) also genuinely rock harder than most of their Prog contemporaries - indeed, Yes never wrote anything as aggressive and brutal as <I>Red</I>. Along with Fripp's advances on his instrument, the erratic nature of the band's line-up has been instrumental in the group's artistic progress: King Crimson become whatever is appropriate based on the talents of its members. That, probably more than anything else, is what continues to make the band as exciting and vibrant as they've always been.

<description><![CDATA[Viking-tressed guitar mavens the world over rest their weary ears in the arty metal wonkery of Reeves Gabrels. Equal parts Robert Fripp, Adrian Belew and Ritchie Blackmore, Gabrels is the axe grinder to whom headbangers-turned-philosophy profs look for comfort. He was David Bowie's foil in Tin Machine and besides contributions from his old boss, his solo recordings also feature vocals from Frank Black, Robert Smith and Dave Grohl. While most people won't cotton to the overly layered shredding in his solo work, those who attend Shredders Anonymous meetings will. Gabrels' latest album is available exclusively on the Internet.

<description><![CDATA[Like so many dreams transcribed into song, Eureka Farm create gossamer lullabies that can only be described as lovely, drifting currents of sound. Relying heavily on heavenly strains of organ music and the light tinkerings that arise listlessly from their keyboards, Eureka Farm build on this spacey foundation with layer upon layer of delicate noise. The caustic sounds of choppy guitar noise, quirky arcade game beeps, and scraping sounds fill the background, while the singer's gentle, atmospheric vocals add to the overall cosmic feel. Eureka Farm engulf their listeners wholly, taking them an a slow ride along the downstream path of their songs.

<description><![CDATA[Perplexa are a multi-talented Space Rock trio inclined to build songs slowly over the course of hours and hours. It seems like hours not because it's boring but because -- through infinitesimal changes in the rhythms -- you end up in such a different place from where you started that it feels as if an extraordinarily long time has actually passed. Incorporating tribal rhythms to their dangling intergalacti-jazz and rarely resorting to abrasiveness, Perplexa are representative of a category all their own.
