		Therefore psychedelic progressive rock can be found also from the different sub genres of prog, and it also has interfaces with several of them.
		Space rock was developed in the late 60's and early 70's by bands like HAWKWIND, PINK FLOYD and TANGERINE DREAM.

		Space rock is nearly always slow, hypnotic, and otherworldly; it typically favors lengthy, mind-bending sonic explorations over conventional song structures, and vocals sometimes play second fiddle to the shimmering instrumental textures.
		Space rock's most obvious antecedent was, of course, prog-rock, but in its latter-day incarnation, it was also inspired by Krautrock, classical minimalism, and the noise-pop of the Jesus & Mary Chain.
		The first of the new space rock bands was Britain's drone-heavy, ultra-minimalist Spacemen 3, whose notorious "taking drugs to make music to take drugs to" credo subsequently influenced most of the like-minded bands in their wake.

	Progressive rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Progressive rock (sometimes shortened to prog rock or prog) is a subgenre of rock music which arose in the late 1960s, reached the peak of its popularity in the 1970s, and continues as a musical form to this day.
		Progressive rock artists reject the limitations of popular music and aspire to create music for serious listening, often aspiring to the sophistication of jazz and classical music, sometimes incorporating folk and world music influences in as well.
		As with its counterpart, progressive jazz, progressive rock is very much a musician's form of music, designed to be analyzed, studied and appreciated by knowledgeable listeners, as opposed to many other types of rock music.

	Psychedelic rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the history of rock, psychedelic rock is a bridge from early blues based rock to latter progressive rock and heavy metal.
		However, an inner core of the psychedelic style of rock that came to public attention in 1967 can be recognized by characteristic features such as modal melodies; esoteric lyrics often describing dreams, visions, or hallucinations; longer songs and lengthy instrumental solos; and "trippy" electronic effects such as distortion, reverb, and reversed, delayed and/or phased sounds.
		The first use of the word "psychedelic" in a rock music context is usually credited to the 13th Floor Elevators, and the earliest known appearance of this usage of the word in print is in the title of their 1966 album The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators.

	A Guide to the Progressive Rock Genres
		Symphonic rock is characterized, usually, by extended song structures or suites; instrumental, symphonic orchestration (whether actually utilized or approximated); and a tendency to draw in romantic period classical motifs as well as smaller portions of jazz, rock, and folk.
		Rock groups known as industrial range from the late 70s/early 80s to the present day in styles from the abstract and experimental to dance and pop music.
		Space rock is largely an extension of psychedelic rock (and/or krautrock) and shares many of its similar mind-altering and atmospheric features.

		Space are one of my favourite bands and, although I agree to a point that they aren't the greatest lyricists ever it's all just meant to be FUN.
		Although I think they were at their finest on 'Tin Space', I totally got into the mood with Suburban rock n roll.
		Space are one of the most intelligent, quirky, kitschy, ironic bands to date.

	SPACE.com -- Sunlight Increases Space Rock Spin
		The space rock is one of two found to have increased its spin using sunlight.
		Asteroid 2000 PH5 is a near-Earth space rock with an average radius of just 187 feet (57 meters) and a spin rate of once every 12.17 minutes, making for a very short "day" on its surface.
		Visual studies of the space rock between 2001 and 2005 found that its 12-minute day shortened by one millisecond per year, indicating that its "daily" spin was growing faster over time, Lowry said.

		The rock's chemical composition is similar to those analyzed by NASA's two Viking landers on Mars in the late 1970s.
		The rock's chemistry was similar to a Mars meteorite found in Antarctica, which NASA said showed signs of microscopic fossilized life.

		The birth of rock and roll overlapped closely with the post-Sputnik period when public interest and enthusiasm for space exploration was at its peak.
		However, by then, space exploration was not terribly popular with the anti-tech, counter-culture music community and public interest in space had also declined as the Viet Nam War and various social problems dominated everyone's attention.
		Space Odyssey - this song was inspired by Arthur C. Clarke's short story "The Sentinel" (as was Kubrick film 2001: A Space Odyssey) and was one of the first rock songs to use the Moog synthesizer for futuristic sound effects.

		The new "Space Rock" isn't a revival of a musical style, in the sense of a rockabilly revival or ska revival.
		Imagine a band equal parts Velvet Underground and Steve Riech, with a pronounced gospel lilt, throbbing bass, and an almost Phil Spector-esque construction of horns, cymbals, maraccas, assorted percussion swaying and swinging in the background, and you have the essence of a truly trippy cut, by a truly trippy band.
		The duo of singers/guitarists David Pearce and Rachel Brook (ex- Lynda's Strange Vacation) are the lo-fi practitioners of the space rock genre, favoring home recording experimentation.

	2102 Space Rock To Give Earth Its Closest Shave
		A space rock capable of sub-continent scale devastation has about a one in 1,000 risk of colliding with Earth early next century, the highest of any known asteroid, watchers said on Thursday.
		The rock, 2004 VD17, is about 500 metres (yards) long and has a mass of nearly a billion tonnes, which -- if it were to impact -- would deliver 10,000 megatonnes of energy, equivalent to all the world's nuclear weapons.
		Spotted on November 27 2004, VD 17 was swiftly identified as rock that potentially crossed Earth's orbit, with a 1 in 3,000 risk of collision on May 4 2102.
