Ok guys, on account of our current release, I am posting about my band again to hopefully be considered for being put into the progarchives database. We are currently an independent band, but we have a full 66 minute album released currently, and we've heard nothing but good news about it so far from those who have gotten their hands on a copy.
 
here's some streaming tunes and our facebook page:
 
here's a tidbit of press:
 
in the next few days there will be a radio interview or two posted and ill link to that.
 
the album was professionally recorded at soundpark studios and co-produced by 9 time ECMA award winner Jamie Foulds. The artwork for the album was created by kenzie gunn and matthew smith, there's some beautiful paintings in there. The album is glass-pressed, and comes in a digipak (the cardboard cases...kinda like the one rush's snakes and arrows comes in), and has a full color lyric booklet with the previously mentioned paintings etc.
 
we are currently looking for reviews of the album, and are willing to send a copy to anyone that will review us.
 
Here is the album cover:
 
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
 
 if anyone is interested in considering this album for anything, please pm me on here, or email [email protected]  
 
EDIT: update, we are one of the featured artists on www.reverbnation.com !!! we'll be there until the end of the week, check it out and become a fan!

ANOTHER EDIT:

"Hello Brett and Adam,

     I am very pleased to inform you that the Thought Machine album "Maiden Voyage" has made the cut for review in Progression magazine issue No. 61 due out Dec. 30. Congratulations!
Please note the following deadlines:

  ISSUE NO. 61 HITS THE STREETS DECEMBER 30!

     Advertising in Progression generates many benefits beyond direct sales of your music.

Please reach us via return e-mail or phone, (toll-free) 800-545-7371 or +978-970-2728. Hoping to hear back from you soon. Thanks!

 -- John Collinge, Publisher, Progression"

A quick comment after the first touch of your music: 

The season unspoken is apparently influenced by Marillion of the early Hogarth's period. Also your voice (I guess from your nick that you're Brett Waye)  has something of Steve H.

My uninfluent opinion is that this is good neo-prog. Thumbs Up

Thanks Luca, your opinion is influential on me Wink

I'm asking the Neo team for an evaluation.

Hi guys, just checking the status on this. Any more support material needed?

We also have a review of the cd in the current progression magazine issue (the december 31st date mentioned earlier was pushed ahead).

Sorry about this but your evaluation stagnated because of the dissolution of the Neo-Prog Team. A new team was appointed recently so hopefully they'll come up with a resolution soon. Smile

Thanks, will check soon ... let us take time, please. Cool

EDIT: Already evaluated by Prog-Metal Team and voted "MOVE (to anywhere?)", actually.

Sorry but Thought Machine have been rejected in Neo ... because of our unanimous opinion "not enough progressive".

should I show you guys more songs? we are totally a prog band...

EDIT:

I just updated the myspace with some of our more progressive songs, they represent us far better. The entire 22 minute Gordian Knot is there, as well as maiden voyage, young guns, fall of house atreides, and the season unspoken. These should be pretty sufficient, i hope.

I've listened to Gordian Knot. I think it's prog enough....but I'm not a team member so it's only my opinion.

hmm... well is there no other prog genre we would fit into? not even crossover prog? I think the team should give it another listen now that the other more progressive tunes are posted, because I wasn't even aware that it was only the myspace it was being based off of..

I dunno whatever you guys think

Thought Machine has been thrown into the pits of discussion... which means we won't get to a final decision most likely for a little while, until after we've cleared our back log. I voted move to crossover (IIRC), and if Karl or Cesar choose to vote move they'd be moved, but they're not our priority right now.

Thought Machine were added to Crossover chart a month ago, and with one more vote they'll be cleared...So...Done! Thumbs Up
 
And here is the whole album on bandcamp, for streaming, or immediate download (for whatever you're prepared to pay for it): http://thoughtmachine1.bandcamp.com/
 
Good stuff for me, is this. Smile

I'm listening to Maiden Voyage and I was wondering why they are still not on PA. Two years ago I have written neo-prog after a short listen...what a maroon I've been! 

I don't know which subgenre fits well but they must be on PA.

Added a month ago: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=7799, and disbanded yesterday 'due to lack of time, and members working on other musical projects':  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Thought-Machine/61927839890. Apparently the bio is a bit incorrect, but I'll try and find out what alterations are necessary and get one of our team SCs to update it. Smile

Really a bad new. I think this was one of the first forums on which I have written something.
