estradasphere in the progarchives?

have i died and gone to non-prog heaven??  is anyone seriously dogging estradsphere here?  these guys are absolutely amazing.   they can play ANY style, they can be serious, they can be humorous.....they can re-do classical pieces in their own great way.   they are absolutely Prog, and if you disagree, you are not a true prog fan.  you are a bad critic and have nothing better to do than sit on ur computer and be totally 1-sided and close-minded.    whose that pro-e.l.p. fan who was dissing them?  you dont even deserve to have that e.l.p. picture.    advice....go see them live....they are amazing and will give you one of the best shows you've ever seen.    c'mon seriously, they are one of the best things to come out lately, and dont group with alot of bands because they are so different.

They do some really good stuff. Many compare them to Mr. Bungle in their expanse of styles. But they have been accused of arranging a series of musical non-sequitors.  Mr. Bungle tends to use different styles, but with transitions that usually allow one to comprehend the intended direction.

I enjoy Estradasphere from time to time. But I also irritate my friends by putting my entire collection on random so I get play sequences like Genesis followed by Meshuggah followed by The Ohio Players followed by Coltrane followed by Rimsky-Korsokov followed by The Residents followed by Tom Jones folowed  by Strapping Young Lad...etc. So the musical non-sequitors don't bug me.
