Can Retro Prog be Progressive?

   I would consider White Willow's Storm Season to be both retro and progressive. Its not something that I could easily quantify but I definitely get the fealing that its borowing a fair bit from the classic period whilst adding something very new.

	In my opinion it can't. Or probably I have not heard those albums you mention. Which are they?

	In general, we would think of these as mutually exclusionary sets. However, it seems to me that there are some albums which while borrowing heavily from a 70s style, end up with something completely new, different, and interesting. Thoughts?
