PROG ROCK BRITANNIA-AN OBSERVATION IN THREE MOVEMENTS
Documentary about progressive music and the generation of bands that were involved, from the international success stories of Yes, Genesis, ELP, King Crimson and Jethro Tull to the trials and tribulations of lesser-known bands such as Caravan and Egg.
The film is structured in three parts, charting the birth, rise and decline of a movement famed for complex musical structures, weird time signatures, technical virtuosity and strange, and quintessentially English, literary influences.
It looks at the psychedelic pop scene that gave birth to progressive rock in the late 1960s, the golden age of progressive music in the early 1970s, complete with drum solos and gatefold record sleeves, and the over-ambition, commercialisation and eventual fall from grace of this rarefied musical experiment at the hands of punk in 1977.

Documental producido y emitido por la BBC britanica, que trata sobre la musica progresiva y las bandas que estuvieron envueltas en ella, desde el éxito internacional de Yes, Genesis, ELP, King Crimson y Jethro Tull hasta las tribulaciones de grupos menos conocidos como Caravan ó Egg.
La pelicula está extructurada en tres partes, nacimiento, auge y caída de un movimiento famoso por sus complejas extructuras musicales, alargadas composiciones, virtuosidad tecnica de sus músicos y una extraña influencia literaria inglesa. La escena pop sicodélica fué quien dió paso al nacimiento del rock progresivo a finales de los sesenta. La era dorada del movimiento fué en los primeros setenta, con sus solos de batería, y portadas de discos desplegables. Su excesiva ambición y comercialidad no cayó en gracia para el siguiente movimiento, el punk, a partir de 1977.
