Progressive rock

Paris is a Progressive rock act. Their sound grew out of Fleetwood Mac, Jethro Tull, Public Enemy, DJ Shadow and Nazz. Those roots explain a lot about how Paris arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Coup, Boogie Down Productions, Above the Law, Ras Kass and Jeru the Damaja, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into SpaceGhostPurrp, David Bowie, Cyne, Tin Machine and Iggy Pop, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 40 connections around Paris, reaching back through Fleetwood Mac and forward to SpaceGhostPurrp.
