Excellent Farpoint review begins at 2:49.
Many thanks to Classic Album review for including us!

Well at long last we've finally released our first Farpoint Christmas song. Based on the traditional carol "I Saw Three Ships," but with a few twists thrown in. The song starts out pretty basic and...
This is excellent! Extremely well performed, and the mix and production are so smooth and pleasant. Very, very well done!
Hmm. I think August is one I don't have. I know I have Orion and Fields. I guess I need to pick that one up one day soon. I remember finding the others to have a calming and introspective quality...
Ken, I appreciate that more than words can say. Going to play the latest Monarch Trail album this morning for my workout music. :)
Thank you for the understanding. I see that a couple of you folks certainly "get it." It is good to know that I'm not totally alone in feeling this way. It sounds weird for me to say "don't give up,...
Thanks so much for the kind words about the music as well as the words of understanding. I know there are lots of musicians out there fighting the same battles. And if you have some new music coming...
Very cool, Ken. I have a couple of those albums, and really enjoyed them. I'm sure that current fans of Monarch Trail will as well. Best of luck with the re-releases!
Well, I guess that's that. After pouring 5 years of my life into writing, arranging, and recording and producing this album, it's come and gone with a whisper. A few dozen sales, a couple thousand...
Thanks for playing a couple of Farpoint tracks! We truly appreciate it!
very cool news. Look forward to this. Wonder what the title initialism stands for. We may never know.
This sounds quite fascinating. I look forward to reading it one day.
I don't mind improvisation or taking a new approach to a song as long as 2 things are met: First, that it still fits the mood and atmostphere (and key and rhythm!) of the song, and second, that any...
So, this might not be of interest to most here, but it made my night...Last night a local FM radio station, WUSC from the University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC, played a short "prog" segment...
Listening now. Sounds great! I definitely hear the early PF influence.
Hey again all. Well I'll keep this short and sweet...To continue with our 25th anniversary celebration, Farpoint is pleased to announce the release of LIVE UNDER THE AUTUMN SKY, a show from November,...
I know it's been years since this question was asked, and weeks since the last reply, but what the heck...I generally release 1-2 albums plus a single or two per year, with a variety of different...
Very cool! Sounds like y'all had a great show. And kudos for supporting an important cause!
Thanks Mike! :)
Awesome news, Mike. Congrats on the shows, especially the UK one. You have worked so hard and passionately and you deserve this. Knock 'em dead.
Hey all. Just thought I'd try something that might be fun. I'm limiting this offer to PE for right now, but if no one is interested I might try it somewhere else. So anyway, here's the contest: The...
Thanks so much Lou! I really appreciate you giving it a listen, and the kind words. I'm fascinated by the comparisons to MTB. I hear that often, and while I do like their music, I'm surprised to hear...
Likewise, Steve! It looks rather unlikely this year, but maybe next year! I've missed being a regular attendee like I used to be.
Wish I could make it this year. Would love to see Nektar, and the others all sound interesting.
I've seen Kansas probably 10 times and they never disappoint. At least, not since they've begun doing shows longer than an hour! :) Regardless, their performances are always tight and high-energy.
I...
That was quite a lovely and captivating piece of music. I'm interested to hear more.
Wow. Thank you SO MUCH for that detailed analysis and wonderfully complimentary review. I can tell you really listened, and that's incredibly gratifying. You picked up on some things that I wasn't...

I would like to humbly put forth my good friend and bandmate in several bands, Jennifer Weich. She isn't Farpoint's only lead singer, but she usually sings lead on a couple songs per album. She's...
Thanks for playing some new Farpoint! :):up
Here's another one some may enjoy. It's probably the strangest song we've ever released. This one was inspired by a docu-drama about the colonization of Mars.
...
Oh yeah, one more thing...Here's the song I think the proggers might most appreciate:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RzbAyvasnA&list=PLRaNNQYyw8YBd4uhGvwp8GVNShDX0YeIn&index=41
It's official! The new album is now officially out everywhere! Many thanks in advance to those who purchased via BandCamp. The album is now available on YouTube, Spotify, Amazon, iTunes, and pretty...
Wow. Thanks so very much! We really truly appreciate the support. So far the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Would love to hear your thoughts when you get a chance!
Many thanks! So far, so good! :)
I just gave a listen to several songs. Interesting stuff, and quite diverse from song to song. Well done!
So glad to hear that ProgDay is still kicking. I have so many wonderful memories from my years attending that festival, going back to my first one in '98. Long live ProgDay!
Thank you SO MUCH for listening, for the kind words, and for the support! We appreciate it so very much, and I hope you enjoy the album. Would love to hear your thoughts on it once you've had some...
Very cool news! Glad to see that you guys are back at it!
Thanks so much for the comments, guys. We are pretty excited about it. Here are a couple of updates:
First of all, the album is available today to download or purchase as a CD on BandCamp. It will...

Hey all,
Just wanted to share with anyone interested, in celebration of 25 years as a band and 20 years since our first album, Farpoint has a new album coming out soon and we have shared a song in...
Haha. :D True.
Or kind of like King Crimson with "Starless" NOT on the STARLESS AND BIBLE BLACK album.
I like the sound of the new song, and am excited about the album. I was shocked to hear that he already had a new album on the way, then even MORE shocked to realize that it's been 3 yeas since THE...
Oh no. Another hero gone. So thankful I got to see him perform many times. So incredibly sorry to hear this. Prayers and condolences to his loved ones.
Man, I'd love to see this show. What a great lineup of musicians! I've watched several videos online. But it doesn't look like they are coming close enough for me to make it. Maybe one day.
The music of Vangelis left a permanent imprint on my life since the mid eighties. So sad that he's left us. So many of my musical heroes are departing.
Sad to hear, but as others have said, not terribly surprising. Best wishes to Alan. I'm thankful that I got to see him perform with Yes 8 or 9 times over the years. I'll always cherish those memories...
A couple of videos I made for the new release. The first deals with my passion for collecting Native American artifacts, and the second is a tribute to one of my all time favorite songwriters. Hope...
Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy what you hear, and I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Sounds really good! Very well done. Interested to hear more!
Sorry for another dose of shameless self promo, but I have recently released what I think may be my favorite album I've ever released, and I'm excited to share it. The group is called the Green Swamp...
Oops. I mean, "thirded!" :)
Heck, I'll just say I'm with you fellers.
It's such a high energy album with a ton of feeling. I never really get tired of it.
Seconded!
Huge shoes to fill, but good news nonetheless. I'm hopeful for good things!
Sorry to self-promote, but Farpoint's 4th album COLD STAR QUIET STAR is a sci-fi concept album, although granted the story is somewhat obscure.
...
Oh no. So terribly sorry to hear this. Prayers and condolences to his family and friends.
Not prog, but my new folk/Americana album THE GREEN SWAMP COLLECTIVE is now available there, if anyone's interested. I've had a couple of folks so far tell me it's the best thing I've released to...
I listened to a few songs. Well done! Sounds really good. I’ll try to come back and check out more soon!
