I hope you guys(and girls) don't mind if I join in the fun. 

I will remain silent for the first few days. There are some bands that doesn't have tracks, I might contribute in that section.

If you want to know about me, just ask. I am open for interrogation. It is a great site, so I asked my self "why not join it!" , so, you know. 

Questions, comments, and etc. are all welcome.

Hey, thanks guys. I am really a bud, you know, just hatched from the egg. So, I am actually exploring music; music that can actually coalesces with my mood and state of mind. Something that gives out the right atmosphere and mystical air around.

So far, I am interested in Raga rock and those that transcends into Psychedelic and acid rock. I love the Sitar, such an amazing, mesmerizing instrument, and coupled with those guitar...

I can say, Bardo Pond did a lot lot in that section.  I have been listening to them, lately. 

I am not living in a country where LP records and rare music are readily available.(I had to do bad stuff ). So, I am in a stake out for good music.

The first experience of progressive rock would be of Pink Floyd   

I used to be in those Nu-metal and alternative rock music... you know, Disturbed, Hoobastank, 30STM,   Linkin Park, Korn and other chumps. (Yes, I have the guts to mention them!).

Later, I was interested in other forms of Metal; like Death, Heavy, Doom, metalcore-mathcore, speed, power and etc. But, I always thought that being a metal head is too ostentatious. I'd better be called an artists rather than a head banger or whatever(sorry metal folks).  I still like Industrial Metal, Avant-garde and other fusions, though.

I changed when I took a look at Tool. I saw the style, the way the music is played. So, I delve deeper to discover the source of Tool's music. It came out to be a progressive metal. Albeit alternative metal, and not really progressive, I picked up Indukti too. I am also into upbeat music, like Fair to midland(I don't know if there is another band like this one). Then, later I came to this site! And I was here for a while, and after that I decided to join, and here I am.

Also, for other form of music. I really love Industrial, Dark EBM, Dark Electro, Aggrotech.  I also like Demoscene, 8Bit and Chiptune. Trance, Goa-trance and Psy-trance are the other ones.

So - basically looking for Raga rock and pyschedelic rock. So, until then.

Thanks for those recommendations. Popol Vuh was kind of a little bit space rock and drone. I tried to get that one. I listened to everyone of them(on youtube) to see them ;) - Third Ear Band... what to say. It is a must get, I guess.

Yes. Time to move on without them - Time for this little bud to come out and seek out the sun.

I am aiming at different type of music; more into Acid, Psy, Space rock, you know. But I bet King Crimson have made nice pieces that falls into the criteria, I just need to look at them. 

I was looking for the Arabic-styled progressive music - along the line of Acd, Psy and Spc rock. I think I found it: http://www.progarchives.com/Forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30643&PID=2246665 - Click me!
