Talfast (Canada): Prog Electronic...maybe?

Whoops, posted some stuff about Tangram, before realizing David had already done a new thread.

Well you already have because I told the PET already 

Wait... 

I have to say, this has a giant influence from Berlin School and the PET needs to take a look at these guys, but some of those almost pop-ish elements might offset them a bit. But definitely a good suggestion and one for the electro boys to take a stab at.

Is it Tangram? ^

If I can also interrupt the "back on topic" for a while longer... I'd like to re-emphasise something I touched on earlier, and that is the opinions of other people on specific suggestions. They are important and we should take all those opinions into consideration when evaluating a band or artist. Of course all team members should trust their own judgement when doing an evaluation, but they should also trust the judgement of other people too so when there is a borderline case there is good reason to listen to what everyone else thinks. I'm not talking about compromise here, but actually listening to alternative opinions which add to the collective pool of opinion about a band or artist.

Thanks for the kind words and well-wishes guys. I'm not actually deserting you totally - I doubt that I could exist without my daily dose of progarchives  I'm just going to be taking very much more of a back seat than of late, and letting you fellows with a far better understanding of this marvellous thing we call prog (and the way things work around here) than I will ever have, go about your business unhindered. I will still check both the New and Unsigned Bands forums pretty well every day for new bands to discover and enjoy, & maybe drop in and add something to a thread if it seems it really needs it (as a kind of last resort, I suppose), but only ever factual information or audio samples - no more attempts at deciding if a suggested band or artist is prog or not, or even worse, what sub genre they might belong to.  There are just so many folks on hand there who are far better at that than me.  Similarly with suggestions - if I discover a band or artist who are not on there & that seem to be an absolute cut-and-dried case, then of course I will still post them for the benefit of the site and all its users, but no more of the 'borderline' acts that I have suggested just lately, that all too often fail to make it. OK - I hope that's cleared things up. Thanks again for all the kind words and well-wishes...I hope I will still feel able to pop in & contribute something worthwhile to the site now and again when circumstances call for it...and now...

We are all amateur enthusiasts here, no one is an expert in anything. Some of us chose to specialise in specific areas and we become knowledgeable in that, but we can never know everything there is to know, there will always be something we don't know, a band we've not noticed or a variation in style we've not heard before. The older we are the more we've seen and the more we've experienced and that counts for something but it doesn't make us infallible or always right, it just adds a bit of gravitas to our words and a bit if credence to our opinions.
