Can we take them for evaluation ? Does somebody have them at the moment ?

Mr. MartyMcFly, you get them for evaluation but then you voted no. If that info is not classified, please tell me why ?

Not enough Prog Rock, maybe?

^ Are you being sarcastic here Svetonio ?

There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

Let's hope mystic fred will be able to reach out to the realities beyond human comprehension, find sufficient inspiration to vote 'yes', and put the matter to bed!

As long as the band find a home here somewhere, then I think the outcome will be acceptable to everyone. I just hope that if the move goes ahead, the post rock team don't also end up with a "hung vote" situation. At least there are only three of them in that team, which may simplify things somewhat, I suppose. Crossover was never really the right place for them in any case imho - they are a difficult act to categorise for sure, so I guess this was always going to be tough nut to crack.

Well, in that case, Prog (probably) yes, Cross (probably) not, Post-Rock perhaps. Three samples are not so good base to make an opinion, but that is what we have to work with.

Svetonio gave us four samples from YouTube in his original post (which are also available on the band's myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/tunelodz) - the only one he missed from the set of 5 individual tracks that were uploaded there is the seventh track on the album, called "Cabin Fever", which you can listen to now:

This next sample is part two of a progressive rock broadcast on Radio Opole in Poland from earlier in the summer featuring an interview, and some tracks from the album. The first 6 minutes are in fact the second track off the album, called "Repose", which is another new track to us. The rest of the video is some talking in Polish, followed at the end by the track "Confused", which you have of course already heard:

This final sample is part two of another backstage interview with Adam Hajzer (I think!) for Radio Bogoria. The first piece of music on here by the band is about 4.47 minutes, and it's NOT "Dimensions", one of only two tracks of this length on the album - thus it is almost certainly track 5, called "Mip". The track which follows the talking bit in the middle to finish off the video is "Masquerade", which we've heard already:

Altogether then, we now have seven of the nine tracks on the album, which I would think is a reasonable selection for the band to be evaluated. I do have to agree with infocat regarding where they should be placed, but since that team already said 'no' we have to put our faith in the post-rock guys.

Fingers crossed!!

Edit: The first 4.47 minutes of the last sample above is DEFINITELY track 5, "Mip". I checked it against the short samples on Amazon & emusic.

^ Gentlemen you are assuming crossover have not accepted them. Our fifth member is away at present so please be patient, or maybe one of our existing voting members has a change of mind, evaluation wise. We are still assessing.......Thanks!

Lacking fifth vote.

Finally!

I still think that Crossover is not the most appropriate category. But really, I think that many bands are thrown in to Crossover simply because they don't seem to fall in any other category. Supertramp is Crossover. Tune is not.

But until there is a "miscellaneous prog" category of some sort I guess we'll have to live with it!
