During a decade that defined progressive rock, 1973 was a pivotal year. Influential bands like Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Jethro Tull and King Crimson released some of their best-selling albums and there was a plethora of releases from less well known, but equally worthy acts. This book is a journey through this creative period; stopping off on route to explore symphonic rock, the Canterbury scene, Krautrock, fusion, progressive folk, art rock, space rock, album artwork and much more.The author was in his late teens in 1973 with an insatiable appetite for music and remembers the period with affection but this book is much more than a nostalgic trip down memory lane. It's a comprehensive and knowledgeable guide to an era when music with multiple sections, rich textures, intricate time signatures, inspired arrangements and diverse influences performed by skilled musicians was a universal language. For the discerning music lover, it was possible to journey to the dark side of the moon, take a dip in topographic oceans, encounter pot head pixies from a distant planet and still be home in time for larks' tongues in aspic.
