Echolyn - new album(s)

Hi,

The internet is widespread enough and then some ... the issue is, at least as I see it, that ECHOLYN is not showing itself as valuable and important as it may have been in 1990's and 2000's. And based on so much of the material listed in the best of and favorites each and every month, I am not sure that Echolyn is going to get the ears that it deserves ... we'll see how they come up in some of the ratings soon enough!

I (personally) hope that things come out alright ... the ability to sustain these bands is important for the value of "progressive music", although my thoughts are that in the end of 2024, the value is for "progrock" that is cookie cutter variety and 5 minute songs (so to speak), as if the audience was not capable to listen to anything else, which I find really sad ... there are a lot of folks that listen to music that is very different and deserving of attention, but it won't likely get it because it does not fit the cookie cutting styles.

I hope that Christmas (and Santa Claus!!!) finally shows up for this band ... gosh knows they deserve it, although they are not the only ones. But their "Internet" presence likely has to improve, and I don't mean just bulletin board material. It didn't take PT, DT, or Marillion over night to get enough attention that they don't have to listen to any one telling them what to play and do ... and I think we need more bands like that.
