And believe me, these samples are nothing in compare to what their music (talking about Aramed, only album I own) is like. I mean, they're not bad, but they're way better.

All in all - quite pleasant listening, easy accessible, but far not too original to be really interesting. I think could be classified as symphonic, or eclectic.
 

You have album, or are you evaluating just samples ? If samples, then I have to say that it look good for them :-) And why I sometimes have feeling of Queen (guitars, sometimes)

And again, it sounds little bit like 70's version 2. Or 3, 4 ... 9 maybe. Upgraded, polished a lot version of old sounds. With added new influences (like you said)

New album would be nice. But first, I have to get somewhere their other one.


After all, a lot of vintage prog is here on PA. Think of reasons why they are here.

Thanks guys. Having them here would be honor for me.

"Aramed Forces of Simantipak" it's a great album. Thumbs Up Soon will be released  a third album called "Disconcerto Grosso"

I suppose that it's what my ears are hearing. This was already suggested, but due to inactivity and apathy (or lack of attention / motivation), the thread went to eternal damnation of this section.  


So again, this band is suggested. I also saw this band on other prog sites. Even this is not order for us to include them, it should tell us something.

Hint of some kind
