What's going on with the website?
Big changes. The old asp/access format has been dumped in favor of MIT's open-source Simile timeline widget: The result is a very dynamic presentation of the progressive rock timeline! The remainder of the site is currently undergoing "wikification" using the open-source MediaWiki software. You can take a sneak peak here.

What is Strawberry Bricks?
Strawberry Bricks was a timeline poster first printed in 1991 documenting "twenty-five years of progressive art rock". The internet was nascent in those days yet the project succeeded on a few levels, including going out of print. Fast-foward to 2000, and Strawberry Bricks reinvented itself on the world wide web at its home site www.progressiverock.com The book, published by print-on-demand publisher Lulu.com, first saw publication in 2007. There is of course a wealth of progressive music outside the well-known British idiom of prog rock, and I hope you can discover some of it here. The basic tenant however still prevails: the document of a record collection.
