The trouble here is that it sounds like a one-man project, the artist has no other presence on the web, and it's effectively a free-release. Better in unsigned artists, imo.

You got very nice review by Torodd Fuglesteg: http://newprogreleases.blogspot.com/2013/09/onevoice-sound-space-agreed.html

I agreed with Torodd. Your album is awesome light air music and, consenquently, the best solar charged neo-prog debut released this year.

Peace,

Svetonio

p.s. also beautiful album cover; greetings to the painter!

Yea do it ASAP.

Only there to keep your airy, weightless and transparent atmosphere with live instruments and that is that.

Just from a fan point of view, I suggest to you to record, with live instruments, a cyclonic version of the song about a pissed "proghead" - Fragile Dreamer of course - and to add that as a "bonus track" on your second album, & you got a hit.

Good luck!

I know that Fragile Dreamer the song as well as whole album is an introspective stuff.

That's why it's great.

Regards!

Very light sound, not tight and very natural. Such easy-listening neo-prog. I feel that the musician enjoyed himself and this attracts the most.

The light "happy" vibe reminds me of Moon Safari.

Listened to 'To Mold This Morning's Clay', and now that this chap has a second album under his belt I see no reason why he can't be considered for inclusion. Maybe he could be moved back to the new Suggestions forum? - I don't know - but artists have been evaluated and added from the Unsigned Bands forum before, so it doesn't really matter either way.

Hints of Neo Prog dotted about for sure, but overall I think this is Crossover material, and that's where I'd start the evaluation off personally. Let's see if anyone from Crossover drops by and picks this up - since the thread will still show up in the New Suggestions forum where it was originally posted whenever there's a new comment.

In my an opinion, (I'm not a musician, just a fan, I've never held an el. guitar in my hands, so my opinion may or may not be valid) a Progressive rock music is easier to be created that to be good if it's *dark*; to create some prog rock music that to be *light* and *happy* and to be good in the same time, it's very hard.
In other words, a good prog from the dark soundscapes comes out very easily, while it's very difficult to make a fine progressive rock that to be a "sunny day" and in the same time to not be only "easy-listening-music".
That's why I think that Onevoice is a great prog singer-songwiter. He's music is a serious prog with light, solar atmosphere. He successfully conveyed in both of his two full-lenght albums that his hometown's airy atmosphere, and as it's mixed with his introspective poetry as well, that makes him an artist worthy of attention.
