my band Concentric is in the process of being approved by ProgArchives, but in
the meantime i wanted to give those who are willing to listen a link to
a free download of the entire record. you can access it here:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/nfjzyy5jnmn/Concentric-Immeasurable-Unsigned.zip we are a progressive instrumental acoustic band, and very complex, with a major focus of dense melody and counterpoint. i hope you guys enjoy it, and if you listen, please give some feedback. thanks for listening! jerry/concentric |

Listened to it last night, really great stuff. Lots of elements of math-rock with some eastern acoustic sounds. Really great playing, too
![]() My favourite track is Inspiration. Great job guys! ![]() -Joel |

thanks a lot, Inspiration is, if you haven't been able to tell, a very personal song.
joel, you are a reviewer? we like reviews :) |

I'll give it another listen now and post back soon with my thoughts. Edit: Also, if they need a bio done, I'm happy to work on one using their MySpace. Edited by progkidjoel - February 13 2010 at 02:10 |

Going by the PA definitions, I think eclectic might be a good fit because of the mix of math-rock, metal and eastern folk sounds.

I'm with Joel. Eclectic is the best fit. I just listened to the album the other day, and loved it. It's got a lot of Michael Hedges in it, whether the band themselves realize it or not. That's not a bad thing at all, by the way.

Wow, I haven't been so surprised in a long time. Excellent work! Hearing the "tzambal" (on Familiarity, Rock Island and one other track at the beginning of the album) was a great "wtf moment"
![]() Joel's analysis is very good but I'm not sure the Eclectic guys will approve the band. I think the guys at Math Rock and Prog-Metal should hear this too. Edited by harmonium.ro - February 16 2010 at 07:24 |

i was in doubt about this one, it has many math rock elements, it could fit in post rock/math rock category. But it also can be added to eclectic, so why not we suggest it to eclectic team also. i will now add now Concentric to the progfreak charts for evaluation, so will see the result, and if it both teams agree on their inclusion later we will decide where to add them.

Will download tomorrow, listen tomorrow and fortunately, write a review. Here :-) - later move it to album page Hope that process of addition will be successful, you guys have really set me on a course of anticipating this album a lot ;-) |

There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

you guys are being really supportive, and that's awesome-looking forward to a review!
in late march we were asked to play an electric set that will be live broadcast on the internet. that should be fun. |
