Hi, this is César Inca.
 
I'm really surprised that this art rock label has become so "democratic" that it goes beyond the symphonic and/or jazz-fsuion essence of some band and then embrace it in its realm. I think this thing has gone really too far. I'm not really sure that HAPPY THE MAN and HANDS are so symphonic, but I could understand if they were labelled as such - I'm more into putting them in the jazz-rock/fusion category, although jazzy prog should suffice. But... art rock?... That's just ridiculous... in my humble opinion. Tjese bands have a very certain trend with recognisable prog features.

   Kind regards.

Actually, HANDS is in the symphonic label. Well, that's half OK by me, but definitely far better than just art-rock. I strongly believe that bands like HANDS and HAPPY THE MAN belong in the same package.

   Kind regards.
