I wasn't trying to be subtle in the least. I AM Clay Withrow. And I worked my butt off on the CD and hope people will give it a listen. So check it out and let me know. Trust me, I wouldn't try to hide this fact. I'm about as proud as one could be.

Thanks. Just came in recently, along with MCM - Ritual Factory which I forgot to mention. They are somehow affiliated with the Condition Red album you mentioned, sounded interesting so I grabbed it also.

Mostly because we haven't sold but two CDs. Please check it out friends. It's a travesty that it goes unexplored.

^ nice website! They seem to have a somewhat limited selection of artists, but I like the concept ... of course I can see why the music industry doesn't support it.

If you enjoy cdbaby, you might also enjoy Magnatune...I've been discovering a lot of new artists there as well. They also have a very fair policy in regards to supporting their artists, and you can listen to whole albums:

This cracked me up!

Your CDs have been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with
sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.

A team of 50 employees inspected your CDs and polished them to make
sure they were in the best possible condition before mailing.

Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over
the crowd as he put your CDs into the finest gold-lined box that money
can buy.

We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party
marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of
Portland waved "Bon Voyage!" to your package, on its way to you, in
our private CD Baby jet on this day, Sunday, June 3rd.


LOL

Spleesh, I presume you mean Chamberry and my own reviews?  It is a great album, I just hope you're not disappointed.

Nice one, Speesh!  It's not quite a 5/5, but it's at least a 4, almost 4.5 for me, so I hope that doesn't put you off!

Astrid Proll will just get better I believe.  I'm greatly looking forward to their next album.

Haha, this thread's gonna make me go broke. I don't know whether to Cry or Big%20smile

I recently found out about this fine website, my first order of 5 CDs came about a week ago. Here's some stuff to check out:

Skywhale - World at Mind's End (remastered in 2006)
http://cdbaby.com/cd/skywhale
I can't get over how good this album is. Loving every one of the tracks a lot. Their description of "eclectic,soaring,melodic,progressive,jazz rock fusion" works well. Unfortunately the samples don't do it much justice, but still definitely worth a try.

Deluge Grander - August in the Urals (2006)
http://cdbaby.com/cd/delugegrander
Fine album from members of the fusion band Cerebus Effect (whose three releases you can also get from CDbaby). Fusion-esque symphonic rock. Check out the reviews here.

Echolyn - As the World (1995, 2005 release)
http://cdbaby.com/cd/echolyn8
Great album from Gentle Giant inspired symphonic prog group Echolyn. Check out their other albums on CDbaby especially Suffocating the Bloom (which I've yet to hear myself) and Mei.

Black Bonzo - Lady of the Light (2004)
http://cdbaby.com/cd/blackbonzo
Nice hard rocking retro-prog. I've been told it is similar to Heep, though I've yet to hear a Heep song so I couldn't verify that. I've been listening to it this week and I quite like it.

I'll be making another order of 5 soon. Certainly I'll be getting the Astrid Proll album, if Chamberry and Geck0 recommend it then I'm sure it'll be good. I'll also be trying to complete my Echolyn collection as well as checking out the recommendations here now. Thanks for the thread, Mike.

Just bought the following from CDBaby:

Afenginn - Retrograd
Afenginn - Akrobakkus
Invert - Invert
Invert - Between the Seconds
Invert - The Strange Parade

Not cheap, but not expensive.

Oh another album you can get from there is:

Astrid Proll - Astrid Proll (but I got my copy direct from Noisex Records).

I also like the fact I can use PayPal on there, it saves all the hassle with debit cards.

Well, speaking of bands on CD Baby who sound like Porcupine Tree and Radiohead, I'd check out Ambo.  One of the two guys in the group composed the soundtrack to the computer games Myst and Riven.  Also has a slight country coloration to it.
