Hello All, Came across this site after spending some time on the Vintage Synth Forum and wondering "Is there a Prog Rock Forum?" and doing a Google. I'm in my late 30's, had a sheltered upbringing and was brought to Prog far too late in life but am doing my best to catch up. I'm a professional organist based (stupidly) in Adelaide, South Australia (the worst place to be interested in Prog - or any intelligent music for that matter I've also had a decent parallel career in rock, playing a various bands (including a Genesis tribute band) and currently in a four-piece instrumental group with a guitarist who has had lessons with Bob Fripp. I also do a lot of my own writing and recording and I'm a veritable Rick Wakeman nut. In fact, my wife and I attended his farewell concert just this weekend in Melbourne and we're still floating - we got to meet him afterwards and all those silly things that fans do. My wife is also a professional muso (pianist/accompanist) who has really been enjoying the intro to Prog through me. Anyway, that's me in a nutshell - you'll doubtless find out more about me as I submit posts to various topics. Regards,

Thanks for that. Wobbler? No, never heard of them (probably to my shame). Where do they hail from? MPA ------------- As eyes see young stars assemble |

They are Norwegian.Their music is very reminiscent of 70's symphonic prog and is filled with vintage keyboards.Here is the link to them in the archives: http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_BAND.asp?band_id=1698 - http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_BAN D.asp?band_id=1698 Sadly there isn't an MP3 sample for them here yet.Here's a link to their official site,where they have 2 demos available for free download,the sound quality of these demos is suprisingly good. http://www.wobblermusic.com/music/ - http://www.wobblermusic.com/music/ ------------- |
