Man I just read this sites definition of it; they're pretty mean to neo-prog.

That is an issue just brought up in the Collab Zone, in fact. Most likely will be fixed as soon as the neo team can be arsed into doing it.

does this mean you will be writing it

go stoney go

I've got time.

I take it that means that your thinking of doing it, but maybe not. Wink

I'll do it, but I don't trust myself to be good at it, so I'm sure revisions will be made.

For the record, I don't think the definition is too far off now, but it seems to be from a slightly anti-neo bias, which doesn't help gain converts or followers.

My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

Typical neo-prog:

Arena - Solomon, The Butterfly Man

Marillion - The Web, Ocean Cloud

Pendragon - The Last Man On Earth, Paintbox

Pallas - Too Close To The Sun, The Cross and the Crucible

Saens - Alone

Satellite - Evening Games

IQ - Sacred Sound

Just a few..note that this are all longer songs. I think neo especially shines in longer tracks...and lots of keyboards..

To be the one who seeks so I may find .. (Metallica)

This is true. By all means write it and I'll give you my opinion on it. Wink
