It looks like the Horned Prog progect will come in upwards of thirty hours in total. That&#8217;s a big progect! And even at that enormity, it barely scratches the surface of what&#8217;s available!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what is &#8220;Horned Prog&#8221; anyway?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brass rock? Jazz rock? Fusion? Progressive rock? Anything featuring wind instruments? Or just a certain vibe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes! All of these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In these mixes, I deliberately chose songs which weren&#8217;t obviously horny&#8230; along with ones that obviously were. I don&#8217;t like to paint myself into corners. And I don&#8217;t take kindly to rules in general. It is my hope that the listener will be able to discern a particular vibe running through all of the songs within the Horned Prog sub-genre, even if they don&#8217;t feature horns or other wind instruments. And keep in mind that the human voice is the horniest and windiest of them all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"992\" height=\"718\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-11-at-9.46.12-AM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5355\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-11-at-9.46.12-AM.png 992w, http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-11-at-9.46.12-AM-300x217.png 300w, http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-11-at-9.46.12-AM-768x556.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 992px) 100vw, 992px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as a quirky thing peculiar to just me, I&#8217;ve started all of the Sets (the odd numbered hours) with an acoustic piano introduction. This is in keeping with the song which kicked off Set 1: Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is? by Chicago. On the album, there&#8217;s a piano intro. On the radio, no one ever played the piano intro, so most folks don&#8217;t know it exists. By following through on this newly minted &#8220;tradition&#8221;, I&#8217;m drawing attention to the long lost piano intro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Horned Prog 2 &quot;Sometimes the Horns Are Implied&quot;-A\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NWInmXgVr-k?start=786&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Horned Prog 2-A<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Tracks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Pie -Ekseption<\/li><li>Zaragoza -Good God<\/li><li>Tusk -Fleetwood Mac<\/li><li>Show Me the Way to the War -Sweet Smoke<\/li><li>Moondance -Van Morrison<\/li><li>Baby Night -Sweet Smoke<\/li><li>I Cannot Understand -Ginhouse<\/li><li>Just Another Empty Dream -Sweet Smoke<\/li><li>Feelin&#8217; Alright -Traffic<\/li><li>Dreams of Glass and Sand -Mogul Thrash<\/li><li>Coloured Armageddon -Grannie<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Horned Prog 2 &quot;Sometimes the Horns Are Implied&quot;-B\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bIYGtx6fhVI?start=422&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Horned Prog 2-B<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Tracks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Believe Me My Friends -Sweet Smoke<\/li><li>Mittelstreifen\/Anima\/Bear&#8217;s Banquet excerpt\/Opossum Novum -Opossum<\/li><li>The Peruvian Flute -Ekseption<\/li><li>The House -Ginhouse<\/li><li>House on the Hill -Audience<\/li><li>Banquet -Audience<\/li><li>Saga of the Sad Jester -Grannie<\/li><li>Waterfall -If<\/li><li>Living in the Past -Jethro Tull<\/li><li>Grasshopper -Spin<\/li><li>Borrowed Time -If<\/li><li>What&#8217;s This I Hear? -Mogul Thrash<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/?p=5351\">Set 1: Breakfast in Prague<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/?p=5361\">Set 3: Zappa&#8217;d<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Defining a new genre is always risky business. &#8220;Push the limits early,&#8221; is my best strategy.
