My second solo album whilst not "proper prog" is something I'm really proud of and I'd like to play to you, so much that you can choose to pay nothing for it or whatever you want at:

http://mattstevens.bandcamp.com/

I've supported Fish, Panic Room, BJH, Credo, and i'm playing Prog festivals this year.

"Ghost is a phenomenal piece of work that has already garnered countless frothing plaudits  within the online prog and post-rock firmament. Wholly instrumental and insanely inventive.. an internet phenomena in the making. "Classic Rock Presents Prog

Was featured on Dom Lawson CRPP and Innerviews album of the year lists and 18 other blog/magazine ones.

"Online feedback is glowing and well deserved and Matt should have a great future as a leader in his chosen field. This is one that I’ll be coming back to again and again." Dutch Progressive Rock Page

I hope you like it :)

I recently heard a track. I love the guitar work. It was a melodic and haunting acoustic piece. I forget how I ran across the track perhaps it was my friend Allen Bruce Ray.

"Into the Sea" is the track I heard. What a beautiful piece! It's haunting chord progressions with a beautiful melody. I am going to purchase the cd. It's well worth it! Great guitar playing and great writing.

Hey Matt, good to see you here as well (other than PE and email). 

I'd just like to highly recommend Matt's two albums. I've listened to his bandcamp and then bought both albums (cd's) and am enjoying them very much (and posted so on my blog). 
Looking forward to more music from you.

Thanks very much - some of it is quite electronic with the beats :) Some of the beats are played by a live drummer/some programmed :)

Excellent stuff. I like "Draw" a lot, your songwriting shows here a lot of potential for a band. Maybe a band is in the works?

BTW is the bass line from "Draw" a reference to Mars Volta's "Cicatriz ESP"?
