Reconciling the Souls of Prog —
The AltrOck Interview

Cover art The terms we use to define music can have fluid meanings. For instance, in the 70s "pop music" was an umbrella term encompassing Cat Stevens, King Crimson, and Frank Zappa.

But nowadays these two souls of progressive music no longer live in watertight compartments as they used to do in their heyday. A new Italian label was founded explicitly to reconcile symphonic and RIO-influenced music: AltrOck, launched in Milan by Marcello Marinone and Francesco Zago.
