Well Gundbamsen, i've listen to The Winstons debut, and i'm addicted to it!! :D, i've listen to Permutations by Mercury Tree and i'm trying to get into but appears to be really good too, and i'm love with Hand. Cannot. Erase by Steven Wilson, what a good mixture of Pop and Prog, i'm really liking, but Fire!Orchestra, i unfortunatly hated Ritual and Exit(Which sounded really better), but i'm trying to get into newer stuff, so if you can recommend me something good i'll be glad Tongue.

I've love to get you to Progday.. hell we'd sponsor you.  All you'd need to do is get your ass to D.C and we'd take care of the rest. LOL Cool

I've never crossed the Atlantic Ocean before, so I guess I have no frame of reference. Maybe that's for the bestSmile
Progday would be cool together with Burning Man and a bunch of other festival-type deals. Afterwards maybe fly down to Belize and watch birds.

You should plan on a trip to ProgDay one of these years (if money allows, of course). I'm pretty sure you'd be hooked! This year's edition is shaping up to be epic. On the other hand, travelling across the Atlantic is becoming more and more of a pain, and I cannot blame people for avoiding it.

Clap What a show... what an album.. .what a party.  Remind me next time we go to the Orion to sit where we did last night. Close to the band ready room. Don't know about you.. but I got a contact high last night. Someone (probably those toughs from that 1st band) was smoking the hell out of some sh*t last night and I definitely got a good 2nd hand high LOLLOL

Right on Vinicius!

There are all kinds of thrilling bands out there - also for peeps who fancy the old stuff.

By only reading this post, it gave me interest in the search of new bands, and i listened to Axon-Neuron and Yugen, what beauties! thanks for the OP for open my mind to the new prog scene that is going on right now, i was thinking that prog was dead, but now i know it's more alive than ever!

When i get a good catalogue of the new albums and start searching for myself i will surely recommend some here Wink

Hi José

Don't worry I know I'm in the minority on this one. I have a couple of friends that absolutely adore it.
The Americanised vocal harmonising yeah...erm I'm not sure how else to describe it. My friends agree with me on the vocals, and they love the way they sound!. Sorta like putting overemotional aestethics into every vocal gesture. To foreign ears it sounds purposely "heroic" and very American...and to me personally: American in a slightly cheesy fashion
