"A reason to be here..."

Hi everyone!

I thought it could be good to introduce myself now I know better this board, well not that much but I'd like to read it much more!

I discovered a lot of new bands thanks to ProgArchives and this message board, which is the greatest ressource of progressive music for me, honestly!

So...

My favourite bands: Marillion (H era), Mike Oldfield (70's), Yes, Genesis (nearly everything), King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator and Peter Hammill, Gentle Giant, Neal Morse, Sigur Ros, Jethro Tull, Caravan, Eloy, Oceansize, Pain Of Salvation, Porcupine Tree, Camel, PFM and so many more

But also, not so much on the prog side: Tori Amos, Kate Bush, The Gathering, Opeth, Radiohead, Tool, Neil Young, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, Arcturus, Archive, Nick Drake, Anathema...

Trivia: I'm 27, from France, now you understand the roots of this strange way of speaking I spend my time playing music for my solo project called Spleen Arcana, you can hear some tunes in my signature. I work actually on my first album.

I take this chance to thank all the people here who gave me musical advices to discover new bands, that's great!

Greetings from France ;)

Thanks :) What is "Comus"?

I need to listen to Aerial, it's the only one I don't own. My fav one is Hounds of Love at the moment :)

I like what I hear and although you named your favorite bands and one would imagine that your influences would be easily detected you manage to create your very own style. Hope you get your album released as planned and please let us know when it's out - I guess quite a number of PA-members would like to check it out! Good luck to you!

Oh that's really nice!! This song is not really done yet but that's really nice of you to listen to it!! I made available a complete song to download yesterday: http://www.spleenarcana.com/music/sounds
Maybe it can interest you even if it is a bit heavier than Tears are made to flow :)

Thank you very much for your support!

Bienvenue!

not  a bad idea... I never introduced myself either... just some sort of immaculate conception.  Was born and instead of reaching for a bottle... I started arguing with a certain collaborator here
