Hi Everyone!
I'm Nick and have been posting quite regularly on PA since March of this year. Gotta say, I love the site!
I'm posting to promote my group Within a Reverie. When pressed for a sub-genre classification, we submit that we're progressive hard rock (not an oxymoron, I promise,

). But, we find that "progressive," "progressive rock," and plain old "rock" fit the bill as well, depending on who we're talking with. We have several projects planned, each with its own variation on how we experiment with "the progressive."
At the moment, we are currently in the mixing stage of our debut album, "Within a Reverie." While many progressive acts tend to eschew the standard verse/chorus pattern in their music, we are intentionally experimenting with it in our first two projects. The point of it is to see what can be done creatively with it--how many ways can we spin that format--while at the same time being more progressive with arrangement of instruments (as opposed to sections or movements) and individual instrument parts.
Some of our influences include Megadeth, Black Sabbath, Debussy, Nobuo Uematsu, Bob Dylan, Alan Parsons Project and Thelonious Monk. Sounds like a motley batch of inspiration, and it is, but it all finds itself in there one way or another, sometimes obvious and sometimes not.
As the rules of the forum dictate, people are supposed to post links and allow themselves to be judged. So, here goes!
soundcloud.com/withinareverie (only three tracks up so far. two more coming soon, and a total of 9 for the project!)

Let the judgment begin, and please, feel free to...

prog out!
Nick
