There are 3 reviews here:
By the way, the band and other places say this is a self-release and I didn't see any mention of Prog Sphere Records anywhere but in your soundcloud; how come?

Well, I talked to Max Phelps of Exist and we agreed to make it available as the Prog Sphere Records release. Actually we have agreed on that few days ago, although they were previously put it as a free download. Our will is to help them in promotion mostly, and who knows maybe we could have something more later.

I really liked the article on Serbian prog. I was planning to write a piece about Yugoslavian prog in general for my own website, but I don't really have the same kind of knowledge about Serbian prog as you. For example, I wasn't aware of newer Serbian bands playing progressive music. Is there a thriving progressive scene in Serbia nowadays?

I would really love if you could contribute in writing such article about Slovenian progressive scene, the next article will deal Croatian scene and the one after it will be concerned about Slovenian scene.
There are no bands in Serbia that actually play straight progressive rock, it's always used in some form, but nothing big. These bands I mentioned in the article are with pretty progressive approach and attitude, thus I found them suitable. The quality is guaranteed. |

I think features like that is an excellent idea and I am really looking forward to read them. Those and some more compilation online albums. Keep up your good work ! |

Hey, no problem! I'll write the article for my website and publish it in one of our future issues and I can then share it with you, if you like the article. The Slovenian progressive scene has been quite prolific, with the likes of Izvir, September (ok, international Yugoslavian), Oko, Jutro, Begnagrad, Quatebriga, Moonlight Sky, Miusow Quartet, Kapella la Chateliere, etc. - a lot of it is very jazz based, like a lot of Yugo prog. |

What I actually did in this second part is that I gave a short (p)review of the albums I found to be a good representatives of the scene and that's actually what I would love to have for the upcoming parts too. The idea was to cover all of the six former republics, but I am not actually sure about Montenegrin scene. so I will probably skip over it. |

After next Progstravaganza is available, we are going to take a little break with all this releasing compilations thingie, as we think that we gave enough material for all of you folks who are willing to explore some new music. Progstravaganza 6 will probably hit the internet in July. Anyway, we'll keep you posted.
