#Prog/ #Rock/ #Metal/ #Electronic/ #Experimental! Music that would be played by the fictional band Tondalus, named after a #HieronymusBosch painting, after a Medieval legend.

A labyrinth for guitar, bass, and drums. Not a "normal" rock song (whatever that is), but not not rock either. Maybe even a little bluesy.

"How Strange, How Strange"
Yet it's not really strange to mix #Mongolian #ThroatSinging with #metal. Extended technique for the voice are familiar in both; and this rhythm is ancestral, galloping over the steppes.

#Kansas did several styles of #rockmusic, but when they did #progrock it was often epic. Here are some German musicians doing a very good cover of one of them. (For music nerds: it pairs with "Mysteries and Mayhem" on the Masque album for a 2-movement piece.)

Beware of charmers. And here there are no ussers to warn you when things are getting weird.

Grungey metal, or metalic grunge, with (for the music theory nerds out there) an interesting use of time augmentation in the recap. I like to think Tondalus would play something like this.

Odd, unrefined garage rock visits Perelandra. I think this is what the band Tondalus might sound like (with a cello!), though Cynthia would be a better vocalist.

Prog electronica from the late 1980's. Tony Bradner (and probably Cynthia) would like this but I don't know if Tondalus could play it.
