If it makes you feel better, here is an excerpt from the PA biography for GTR. GTR was one of those 80īs "super groups"; band was formed around two very well know prog guitarists, Steve HACKETT (Genesis) and Steve HOWE (Yes, Asia),

Both articles are written by someone who doesn't know what the hell they are talking about. Of course you  can call them a supergroup if you wish. I never will.Wink

Back to the original subject....Looking forward to this project...Judging by the music that accompanied the video, it could quite possibly be REALLY good.....These guys seemed very pleased and excited about what came about, I'll be checking this one....

Hmm, after seeing & hearing the posted promo clip.... hmm..
 
I never thought music had to be "prog" or any such label to be good, So I don't need famous progressive rock
artists to get excited. Having said that, the names in the band are excitement enough for anybody who enjoys good music and not some new pop sensation being sold as music. So... yes I am eager as anybody I supose.
 
But...
 
Have you guys heard that absolute crap - garbage - redundant - cliched every garage band sound - that starts around 2:24 of the video???
 
A tired cliche of commercial hard rock kiddie-band that has been recycled since Black Sabbath over 50 years ago...
 
I don't get it.  Unless, the prog musicians here are trying to cash in on the commercial side of the mu$ic bizz...
 
I don't care for Green Day, but why would anybody want 50 year olds trying to be Green day?
 
Hmm....

I have listened to the entire album 3-4 times and I like it.The music is an interesting mish mash of different genres.One of the things that got me is the chemistry of the musicians involved.They sound like a group that has been together for years.

Only drawback....Portnoy sings quite a bit more than I expected.

Agreed, it wasn't all that good from a preliminary listen.

I make this comment about Flying Colors having bought ALL Transatlantic & Spock's Beard and most Steve Morse CDs & Dixie Dreg CDs...  The video seems like a crass attempt to go commercial with some boy-singer de jour in the pop rock world.  I hope I am wrong.
 
But I really am typing here to say how cool I think Horizon's new Gabriel avatar is.
 
Very nice m8, very nice.  Where is that picture from?

I've heard a couple of tracks off this one! Really looking forward to hearing the whole thing!

Prog or not I can't say. Proggish, yes. But I'm looking more towards the opener or closer to see the progginess, and I haven't heard those. What I have heard is definitely a great amount of very fun music.
