^ Listening to it now ... sounds very nice, really much like Satriani. A bit like Engines of Creation, only calmer.Thumbs%20Up

cdbaby is amazing.  You can get somewhat well-known bands, as well as the most obscure stuff possible.

My roommate recorded an album in his apartment studio last summer, and it is available at cdbaby.

Not entirely prog, but check it out if you like Satriani-style guitar stuff.

For those who don't know Bryan Beller: He's best known as the bassist of Beer for Dolphins and the Mike Keneally Band.Big%20smile

^ Thanks!Cool

Now for some retro prog:

Anglagard - Hybris (1992)
Anglagard - Epilog (1994, re-released 2003)

Hybris seems to be permanently out of stock - but you can still listen to the samples.Smile

Another one:

Panzerballett - Panzerballett (2006)
also quite heavy, but rooted more in the Fusion domain.

Some of you might know the website cdbaby.com ... in the next few weeks I'll post some recommendations of albums which are available on that website.

NOTE: Instead of most other online cd shops cdbaby.com offers extensive high quality samples ... simply click the "play all files" button in the left sidebar of the album pages ... that's one of the reasons why I chose to create a thread about this particular shop: You can listen to my recommendations. The other reason is that cdbaby.com is a really fair company in regard to the artists ... at least I have heard nothing but good things about them.Big%20smile

You can also have a look at a dynamic chart of cdbaby albums on my website: http://progtology.com/home/charts.xhtml?chart.source=cdbaby (currently that list is not very long, but it will grow and then the filter options of the chart will come in handy)





Let me begin with this album:

Beyond Twilight - For the Love of Art and the Making (2006)
Brilliant "prog metal for people who don't like prog metal".Smile
