Hi all, glad to have found this site. I have recently put out a CD that is available for free on my myspace page. I have listened to progish rock my whole life, at least the most well known.. Rush, Genesis, Pink Floyd etc... and though I don't think my music is as "prog" as that, it is definitely in there. I am just looking for a good community to be a part of, and as I am sure you all know, the prog world is a niche, and it is sometimes difficult to find your peeps. I would love to just get the music out to people who might appreciate the work, as well as find other bands interested in swapping shows and entertaining one another. Have a listen and let me know what you think. Thanks!!!

Good stuff.

From the small samples available, they are all excellent tracks. The influences mentioned certainly come through, but you don't sound like any of them. You have your own sound and it sounds good. Hope it works out for you.

Thanks, I agree, the influence is there, but does not really sound like them. Feel free to download the album for free, though you have to pass the link on to 5 friends, that is the only catch... Thanks again, I hope to be on here more often!

Giving out other peoples private details will probably be the biggest downfall of your promotion strategy. In effect you are asking people to spam for you, but like I said, I hope it works out for you.

luckily you can also pay whatever you want... like 1 cent or something... either way is fine... whatever people are comfortable with. Thanks again...

What if I'm all out of money and I don't have five friends?
