I'd write a glowing review if I had the album yet.  I don't review much (yeah, just one at this site), but this is one band that majorly caught my interest.  On a tangent, I should write a review for Jean-Paul Prat's Masal -- one of my first evaluations, and an album I love that no one has reviewed yet.

Yes Prog Brazil, Melodramatica is one of my long time Internet friends, I sopemtimes help her with her forum, which sadly has very few members.

I just heard these guys on MySpace and I really dug what I heard so far. Kind of reminded me a bit of Thinking Plague/Henry Cow meets 20th century modern classical. I am going to have to pick up their album. Wayside has it I hear.

ok, they've been added!

Nah, they are not on the chart, just did some voting then and couldn't see them. I cannot remember how to add bands on that site - been too long. Great music, promising band on the whole, had some grips with a couple of minor passages but over really liked this... which is a rare thing for me these days. Will be ordering this one next time I get paid.

p.s. I'm struggling with my other account at the moment, some technical issue which are not abating.

It is a very good RIO inspired band.  It's rather like Thinking Plague, only I like this more.  It's really terrific music for my tastes.  And complex in that it sounds at times like two sets of music are playing at the same time, but it works without becoming a mess.  Aside from a  Henry Cow and ilk influence, as well as similarities to bands such as as U Totem, Volapuk, 5UU's and Thinking Plague, and the singer reminds be a bit of Bjork too, there's some very BUBUish music there (particularly noticable in "Mesianic").

Great!
