My lesser known and unknown new prog bands thread

Well Erik you're the one leading the way, we just have to start hearing more of these groups which are, as you well put it, unknown to the big majority of us all. You shouldn't be only A Symphonic Prog Expert, but a Symphonic Prog Expert and Expert In Lesser Known Bands!

Oh no, another one to look for.

 An overwhelming list, as always, there are many familiar names from the legendary  Sypmphonic prog thread, but there ones which are don't know at all, but judging from this review the must be interesting.

^^You're quite right about Nemo and probably also about After Crying ( i don't know  them so well, I know  that other well known hungary band Solaris  better and they're certainly innovative). Still there certainly are some bands being discussed in the symphonic threads and in this database too that indeed intentionally try to recreate a 70's atmosphere or at least build upon these influences to create a modern symphonic sound, imo there's nothing wrong with that. This music is obviously not interesting to MajesterX  but why should i or others here care? I see that MajesterX likes Dream theater a lot, i like them too but certainly not as much as he does. So i generally  stay out of DT threads and polls or approach them in a mildy positive tone.I suggest to MajesterX  to do the same in regard to modern symph, to each his own.

Look at the sig. "You are unique..."

I don't see the point in starting or listening to a band that tries to re-create 70's symph. prog rock.

The time of progressive rock as it was in the 70's is over, new bands should draw some influence in moderation from those bands, and try to create their own category of music.

Erik - I wasn't completely serious about being afraid to fail, it was a way of complimenting (it's a style thing for which I don't recall the name ). However, it is still difficult to squeeze out a decent review, I have about 40 drafts that I can finish, but I just don't get around to polishing and publishing them here.

That makes me like Tony's proposal - it could be worth a try. And it might just solve some of the issues brought up on the forums about the quality of reviews.

Well Angelo, I don't like nightshifts (my Border Collie Lola don't understand that I want to sleep at daylight  ) but it's perfect to watch DVD's and listen to music .. and it pays very well

About my way of reviewing, it's something that I have build up in 15 years, keep that in mind instead of saying that you would "fail miserably" because that is a negative approach, you should focus on your good points and build up your qualities gradually and, last but not least, have fun while writing, that has always been my main goal, FUN!

I witnessed a triple concert featuring Galahad in the early Nineties in Paradiso (Amsterdam), it was one of the most disappointing concerts I have ever seen and especially Galahad was terrible, way too loud, after a few songs almost everybody when to the bar in order to drink away their frustrations about Galahad its bad performance  So when I listened to the new CD and watched the DVD, I was very pleasantly surprised about the 'new Galahad', they have turned into a very interesting and unique sounding progrock band, a big hand for Galahad

Johnobvious, I have just added the Odyssey 3-CD to this database, what an euphoric review when I look back at it after one year
