Y'all slept on the best prog concept arc

Or, "Listening would give you a different reading. Unless you know how to twiddle out a guitar lead such as Fire Delegation's, from Four Corners?"... Wow! Sorry, I must be missing it here. I hear nothing of that caliber in evidence. The supposed leap from Bach to this is obviously pure hyperbole. The solo in Fire Delegation is nothing remarkable... But, as always, your mileage may vary... And it also comes with a conspiracy theory!!! "Human Rights Campaign/Foundation currently under federal investigation for their backstage business model of blackmail and extortion, not to mention their genocide conspiracy dating back to 1971 and prior." And yet, I'm unable to find anything to back this claim. Although, maybe I'm not looking in the right places... As for me, I'll blissfully continue sleeping through this self-proclaimed "best prog concept arc". But, all the best to you in your musical endeavors!

I've often found that humility is far superior to hubris.

Let others sing your praises.
To laud yourself can often land you in a most awkward position.

The conspiracy theory was just an aside.
The main thrust of my point was that the music was nowhere near as amazingly, life altering, world changing, excellent beyond any prog album cycle in existence that you claimed it was.

Perspective. Keep it in perspective.
You're not even listed as an artist here at P/A.
If your music was "all that and a bag of chips", I'd assume that the folks here would have added you to the roster of artists.
And yet, they've not seen fit to do so...

As I've told my guitar students for years; 'I don't care how good you get at this, it doesn't entitle you to be arrogant or operate under some blanket attitude of hubris. After all, you're only pressing a piece of wire to wood! - Keep it in perspective!'

Offered as food for thought.
Again, all the best to you in your musical endeavors!

The Prog Music lounge is intended for general progressive music discussions and the section of forums is meant for acts already included in PA.

See: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13082

Have you suggested your music by making a topic in Suggest New Bands, since that tends to be the protocol (and has since I joined this site)?

I fail to see how your history of membership and participation with PA is relevant in this case.

To directly address your question, you might see that I have, and I've fully addressed it in this thread. It got moved at least once. I had two primary records at the time. Now I've five.

I didn't think to check Unsigned bands as that has been used for unsigned bands to publicise themselves. The site used to avoid adding Unsigned Bands often, but now if of sufficiently professional-like quality, unsigned bands commonly suggest their music in Suggest New bands.

And I had since posting that learned that you were moved from Eclectic and rejected for Avant Prog before.

It's hard to keep up with trying to manage any sort of promotional front when I've got no commercial front, lol. Here's an incredible selection from a collection of mostly unheard music called The Secret Life Of Bell Ivans. Try listening to it and seeing how you feel. It's called Fractal Fracture. If you fail to listen to it, it'll be noted.

Probably will check it out at some time and give it the level of respect that is deserved. I have checked out various music of yours.

Wow. The entitlement just gets worse!!?
