Now, a pleasant English Prog...

I'd like to inform the readers of this blog that the Unto Us is already cleared for the Prog Archives by Crossover Prog Team at January 13th, 2015, due to my suggestion that I sent earlier via private message to Evolver, the member of Crossover Team & JR/F Team, because back then I didn't knew that Grooveshark links are allowed at this Forum, so I won't posted the suggestion in "Suggest New Bands and Artists"the sub-forum where it actually belongs.

So, you'll soon read all about the band on their well-deserved page in the Prog Archives and, of course, in the reviews of their great Crosssover prog The Human Landscape the album.

Last but not least, I wish to take this opportunity to thank to O666 who pointed me to Unto Us, and also to Yam Yam who actually encouraged me to complete a valid suggestion of Unto Us. And many thanks to the Crossover Team (again).

(I'm not going to get picky about artists not listed in the PA database being recommended here Wink

)

While not being my personal 'cup-of-tea' Unto Us is worthy of inclusion somewhere on the PA, (probably in Neo Prog given the undeniable and inevitable similarity to Also Eden).

What?

I think Svetonio has had his chance to turn this thread into a blog.
I moved it to 'recommendations' as he basically is recommending music without any personal opinion nor description attached.
No harm or foul other than it's been posted in the wrong forum.
It would however be nice if we could get a little more personal insight as to why these albums are part of the new "prog revolution" or merely comments on why the music is good.
Willing something to be real isn't exactly the same as reality, although it can be quite romantic and interesting. See Cervantes for proof

Thank you for contribution.

So you don't want your 'blog' to be a blog. Fine, do whatever you want. David (Guldbamsen) already told you in June 2014, now it's Dean and myself, but OK, you do whatever you want with your 'blog'. Keep blogging.

Going back to Svetonio's original post, there's an album there by The Vorticists - "Show".

So I clicked on the Bandcamp profile. I have one as well. See "Supported by" and there's three faces ? That means that three people who are on Bandcamp (and have a profile) have actually bought it.

Three people.

So much for the revolution, I'm afraid. It's a revolution with no paying supporters.

@Sventonio: It would also aid your cause if you were not so confrontational, I only react badly in response to poor behaviour by others - it's a poor trait I know and that is never a mitigating excuse, however I am unapologetic about what I said though I regret finding myself in the situation where I said it.

The Anti Contemporary Prog Brigade does not exist (yeah, I saw the sarcastic winkie), I can object to how you behave without opposing the cause you are ineptly promoting.

For your information, the last three albums I bought were Major Parkinson, The Emerald Dawn and an album called The Golden Voyage to Samarkand by member DaveSax1965 recording as The Brotherhood of The Machine. The latter is, as you are aware because you have posted in his thread on the subject, a contemporary artist who prefers Old Prog to New (I should also point out that Dr Prog who also commented in that thread is also a contemporary artist who favours Old Prog). The album before all those contemporary Prog albums was Jethro Tull's Stormwatch, an album I overlooked back in 1979. I have no beef against modern contemporary Prog, however I see it as a continuation of a long history of Progressive Rock, not some new revolution.

How is telling people some of the background of the band whose link you uninformatively provided considered to be Spam? How is requesting that YOU provide some of that background information and give some of YOUR opinion on that band, its music and the album they have created considered to be Spam? If this is supposed to be a Blog then blog something constructive and informative, or keep your persistent spamming confined to the Bandcamp Recommendations thread.

You can ignore me all you like, but the points I am making are valid.

A Blog is a page or thread containing a writer's or group of writers' own experiences, observations and opinions.

If you *must* post links to bands you believe are examples of this New Prog revolution then at least have the courtesy to write something in your own words to explain why. Simply mentioning that Unto Us is Huw Lloyd-Jones's new band since leaving Also Eden in 2009 would have aided your cause considerably, as would adding a few words about your opinion of the music they have produced on The Human Landscape, for example you could have mentioned how this obvious Neo Prog influenced album relates to your concept of New Prog.

Amazing "smokey blues tinged vocals" by Sara Lapiedra and pleasant retro riffs on a magnificent hard rock / heavy prog song Women by WHITE COVEN from Zaragoza, Spain. For the fans of Led Zep. Enjoy!

A plenty of nice prog rock singles are already released in January 2015. On The Chest (80's) by Spanish band THE AMNIOTIC FLOWER is strongly recommended.
