This excellent band had escaped my attention until recently. Suggest a listen for eclectic prog fans, and fans of female prog singers on more recent albums

| Interesting. Amazon describes them as Symphonic Prog Rock . I will hopefully give them a listen over the weekend. |

| I like them a lot. Great female vocals (she sings a little like Geddy Lee) and super cool symphonic arrangements. Recommended. |

Had a listen to Foreign land and very impressed indeed .Quite 'muscular' for a symph band so don't be fooled by the fact they have a female vocalist!  |

Absolutely fantastic band! My favourite new prog find of the last year or so. Foreign Land is regularly played and is still as fresh as a daisy. Superb instrumentation - complex modern neo/symphonic prog that tips its cap to the past and the unique and wonderful vocals of Marguerita Alexandrou (I tend to think of Annie Haslam crossed with the jazz vocalist Norma Winstone). Highly recommended! ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |

Loving their latest LP which I just got a couple weeks ago. ------------- Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :) |
