Just hit on Bandcamp and other services. The music and Ed Unitsky's artwork are beautiful.
Here is a 14 minute track from Overworld Dream's new release, Gateway. Artwork by Ed Unitsky. The keyboard player played every instrument on the track.

I saw the show in Philadelphia. I hung around and wanted to meet a few band members. I saw Mariusz talking to a guy and went up to them. Turns out it was Ken Walker from Overworld Dreams,...
The TB-303 is one of the Roland boxes that helped give birth to modern techno, acid, and trance (along with the TR-808). Good is subjective. Lots of people love those boxes.
50/50 for me. The voice is simply another instrument to listen too. Poor lyrical content rather than vocal tone is a turn off to me. Of course if one sounds vocally like Yoko Ono that CD goes in the...
I thought from a writing POV that Dark Passion Play was the best they have done in years. I’d like to hear Floor’s vocals with that material.
Jean-Luc Ponty, Cosmic Messenger.
The Day the Earth Stood Still from 1951 is still one of the best sci-fi films ever made. Another sci-fi film from the 1950’s I will watch is The Incredible Shrinking Man. I can only imagine the...
Or, to go in a different direction, much pop music today sounds the same, thanks to a small number of producers/writers having a large chunk of the market. These producers will not go outside the box...
Baltimore or Philly, I will be there.
Any love for Steely Dan? I have always had a soft spot for this album, especially the title track. Though not prog, the way they seamlessly add elements of fusion and jazz into some compositions is...

Annie Haslam performs a Christmas show in Sellersville, PA (not too far from me) almost every year. She typically includes a few of her own compositions for the show, so she must know the rudiments...
I don't post much, but one cool thing about this site is that on occasion the original artist will make a post.
I really like the music on this CD. The writing is fantastic, and unlike most prog...
They played a track on the Gagliarchives last night, was impressed.
Just uploaded a track from this new CD, some of the best sounding new music I've heard this year. Interesting to hear a keyboardist whose roots are in jazz mellow out and play prog like the player on...
Just downloaded a track from the CD, Childhood Friend. It has elements of old and new prog, an ambitious release for sure. I know about the keyboard player, Ken Walker. I saw him perform with George...
If that Genesis tribute band is The Musical Box you will be in for a treat.
The Great Dictator
The Day the Earth Stood Still
The Grapes of Wrath
Shane
Paths of Glory
Too many more to list.

Betty Everett is the original artist for that Linda...
Selling out: Hey, everyone needs to make a living. What the hell is "selling out" anyway? People follow trends. Bands are comprised of people.
Cultural appropriation: This is P.C. bull manure....
I've only heard a little of your material but I am impressed. I'll be buying this. The artwork is a bonus, very cool stuff!
Les Paul managed to be able to play extremely well into his old age. I saw him perform in New York about two years before he passed and was amazed at how well he could still play. He was 92.
One thing my wife used to say about Renaissance is that even though songs like Scherezade or Ashes Are Burning are not her cup of tea, she could still listen to the band because she though Annie...
Listening to Renaissance perform Ocean Gyspy, my wife says "This can't be that prog rock you listen to, this is so beautiful."
Nice, I'd never find some of this music on my own.
This gear became too rich for me!
I remember hearing Autobahn for the first time on the radio, WMMR in Philly. Of course, that was back in the day when AOR stations commanded a large part of the market in many cities and weren't...
I was at this performance, I'm probably somewhere in the video! I was lucky enough to also see Riverside at the North Star Bar. It was in the Fairmont section of Philly and a great place to see bands...
I was at the Philly show too and pretty much agree with everything you said. Age hasn't hurt Todd at all.
Saw Renaissance at Rutgers University, late 70's. Annie in-between songs was talking to the audience and asked if anyone could hit this note. She belted out a double high C. Some stoned guy in the...
