I'm sincerely hoping that we can get FM (http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1131) released from the prog-related ghetto and into crossover or another "real" prog genre. Black Noise and Headroom are both 100% progressive albums, which can easily be verified. Though I've not heard Transformation, the rub seems to be that it is also a prog album. Sure they drifted into arena rock in-between, but so did Genesis, Saga and others in legit categories.

^ There is a case to be made, but the progressive content on Black Noise is etiolated.

Now there's a word I've not come across on PA before.

Or anywhere, come to think of it. I shall save that one away for Countdown.

I have "Black Noise", "Surveillance" and "City Of Fear" on LP, and although I love the albums, they don't seem to have enough prog to overturn their original placement.
 
I did listen to the samples of "Transformation" they posted on Bandcamp earlier this year, and the tracks blew me away.  I'm going to get the full album at some point, and possibly bring them to the Crossover team for evaluation for a promotion.
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.
