Progstreaming 2012 updates

Sorry for the spam (is it?) but I'm personally very enthusiastic about this release, and I just want everybody to hear this:

http://www.progstreaming.com/2012/02/05/dark-suns-orange/

It's soooo good  

I get most of these updates by email, so I half read it. 

Ghehe.

Now that I've got your attention, I need some tips for new CDs. I've got some 20 left for the next couple of weeks, but it's a bit quiet.

Gotta be not older than 6 months though, or upcoming.

The forthcoming RPWL, if they want it on there.
A few recent additions to the PA database:
Glass Kites
Churn Milk Joan
Gandalf's Project
Zerothehero

All with new albums out in recent weeks and months.

Nagakanya - French band with an album out just now on Musea.

Effloresce - German band with their debut out on fledgling label Generation Prog Records these days.

IOEarth has a new album out these days too.

Great, keep em coming!

RPWL I'll do in March. Aethellis is also in. Edison's Children I'll do only for one week. Cross is also in (like everything Progress). Alias Eye is in (like everything Progrock).

Other labels I stream everything, without having to need further permission are AltrOck, 10T, Black Widow, Lynx, Musea, Glassville, Karisma, a few others I forgot.

Some labels just don't respond, like K-Scope. Often the bands or artists themselves give permission though. Finally there are some labels who just don't 'believe' in streaming, which are InsideOut (Thomas), Cuneiform (Steve), The Laser's Edge (Ken), F2 (Dave) and Frontiers (Marcello). Maybe (hopefully) they'll come around soon. I've tried my best!

Anyway, I like to share the new Raven Sad was listened to 1471 times since on-line last Thursday. Agents Of Mercy is more than 2400 times right now. On an average, streams receive a thousand listens in a fortnight, up untill 3000 listens in the whole duration of the stream.

Yes, yes, yes and yes. All support Progstreaming. Also that label that's doing Mystery... Unicorn. But thanks for the link, I'm sure to find some new stuff!

I've send a press-release to Astra. Thanks!

Yeah, Raven Sad was a surprise for me too. Right up there with Airbag's latest, IMHO.
Try Lagartija too, right next to it. It's different (more in the vein of Paatos), but I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it too.

Hi there,

Since our last newsletter 5 new CDs have been added to Progstreaming:

* Paul Cusick - P'dice
* Randy George - Action Reaction
* Aethellis - Northumbria
* Gandalf's Project - Insights
* AsZension - AsZension

Plus we have this new and exciting news:
* Progstreaming will endorse and cooperate with Progulator, a music blog for the pseudo sophisticated listener. Reviewer Matt Di Giordano will - under the moniker "Bite-sized Prog" review in small doses most (but not all) of the streams we present at Progstreaming. Surely a fun read! Every Saturday a new edition of Bite-sized Prog will appear, and the address is: http://progulator.com/reviews/bite-size-prog-intergalactic-troubadour-of-symphonic-fusion/. Highly recommended!
* Progstreaming will also cooperate, as of now, with Syn-Phonic, an e-store run by Greg Walker since the age of dawn. To say he's good, would be an understatement worth severe punishment. He has almost everything in stock, and he's famous for delivering what others can't. On top of that, he's cheap, fast and trustworthy. His site is very old-fashioned, like all good old fashioned progrock. We all hope he'll never change. Please do visit his site: http://synphonic.8m.com/. You will find a banner for Syn-Phonic at almost every stream.

Finally:
* Due to the success of Progstreaming the annual rate for copyright, to be paid to Dutch BUMA/Stemra has tripled! For that we are in serious need for sponsors or donations. You can use the PayPal donate button, or contact Progstreaming through this e-mail-address. Note that all money will directly flow to Progstreaming, and indirectly to the artists we stream.

Enjoy the music!
