You might not recognize the name but perhaps you do his site and might have checked it already. If you don't see it there try to email him directly and perhaps he can help you find it. Really nice guy if you haven't met him and a real fountain of knowledge.

I just wish there was more time in the clock for me to check out so many of these things ... sites like this are massive and important, and a lot easier to maneuver than the behemoth of PA, and I STILL can not sort out a list or two in PA properly. Probably too geek'y for me ... and the way it is setup in this location is much easier to follow and learn about. 

Sometimes, the simplest things, are the best.

He does know a lot and is a big fan of Eloy. I'm not crazy about his website(he really should have it redone) but that's a minor complaint.

Indeed! Greg's a funny guy, too. I've enjoyed many joke-laden conversations and emails with him for 20+ years. He moved to Utah so I've not seen him in person since 2002.

Also, I don't doubt he's funny but I haven't noticed it much from our conversations. 

I think his website is the best of all the prog oriented sellers, but I realize that may not be saying much.  I like his dividing bands up by country, which is do important in prog.  The search function is also decent

I wasn't aware of that. I actually think he still goes sometimes. It just depends. Several of the other prog vendors stopped going for good though(mostly because of the heat). 

The country thing is good but there's no shopping cart and no way to automatically check out. You have to send him an email. On the one hand that's good because you get to see if the title is still available but other than that his website seems behind the game(at least to me)compared to the others. Some of the other dealers have good deals but personally are more or less curmudgeons in person and don't have the friendly vibe Greg has. Any good sales person knows that he/she is selling themself first and the product second. 

He's just trying to keep it pro. But if you get him started (something I'm good at with people, I guess), the jokes start flying. He's not exactly known for a salty mouth, but I've said a few things over the phone that incited some name-calling all in the name of good fun. 

Yeah, he doesn't promote Syn-phonic, but in a sense, he's never really needed to. He doesn't have a presence on sites like these because he hates message boards, social media, etc.

Yep same band. Verslibre summed it up well. Sure, not very similar to Ghosts of Pompeii but both instrumental and keyboard oriented. 

Here's the link for soundcloud. https://soundcloud.com/search?q=systems%20theory

I could mention others but I'm sort of drawing a blank. I'm sure you already know about Djam Karet. Some of their stuff is ambient and soundtrackish and instrumental. 

Anyway, too bad Ghosts of Pompeii seems to be out of print. 
 

Yeah, I don't think Greg is on here. He was on progressive ears(where I was a member for a long time) briefly before they upgraded to their current site. I believe you are right that he doesn't like message boards and prog sites. I doubt he does facebook much either but don't know for sure. Well, in business 80 percent ofprofits come from 80 percent of your loyal customers(or something like that)so I'm sure he doesn't need to reach out much. He does seem to do very well at Rosfest though. I just wish he would have more "deals."

If you're interested I just noticed that synphonic has ST's "soundtrack for imaginary" movies for ten dollars(which actually is quite a deal).
