    Where do you get information about new releases from?

    Not necessarily prog - PE does the job well - but mainly other musical areas. Please help!

    Besides here, I get a lot from Facebook. I also subscribe to Classic Rock, Prog, and Progression Magazines.

    I usually follow my favorite artists on Twitter and Facebook, and most of the artists I like are talked about on the forums I visit.

    Wayside, Laser's Edge, Boomkat and Experimedia weekly newsletters are big sources.

    Also, lots of Bandcamp patronage left me following a ton of artists and labels.

    That is most of it for me.

    I went to the store recently and an album was played from a new project - the Final Age. It's a very peculiar mix of fusion, electronica, kraut and lots of other elements and it is brilliant - I picked up the vinyl. Released February the 9th . And I realized that if I wasn't so lucky I would probably have missed this. Hence my anxiety...

    Stores can still be a good source for discoveries, although there are far fewer stores now. But the "now playing" selections at Soundgarden in Baltimore have resulted in instant sales more than once.
    If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:

    Well. I define New as New To Me. It may be a recent release of new material, or a re release.
    So

    Google+ has some progressive communities but they suffer from the 'good 'ole days' syndrome. But new stuff pops up there regularly.
    I used to listen to Pandora a lot and found much new music there , for a while.
