I was listening to Michael Sadler's solo album "Clear" the other day, and noticed it was on the Progrock Records label, which I remember went belly-up a few years back. I thought it was kind of a shame that his CD can no longer be in print, unless he gets it re-released by another label, which seems little unlikely, although it's actually a pretty good album. Not great, but good (like a Saga album with less interesting musicianship). I remember there were some albums featuring James Labrie that were also on the label - can't remember what else was. A few good things, I think.
It sort of seemed to me that Progrock shut it's doors and went silent very suddenly and completely. Does anyone have any sordid details they'd like to share with us? I know a girl who worked for the label (and maybe was the wife or girlfriend of the guy who ran the label - I forget his name) posted here occasionally, but I don't think she has in a long while.
I actually just performed some Google-Fu, and see that also on the label was: Salem Hill (Mimi's Magic Moment, a great album - sad if it's still OOP!), Steve Walsh, and Nick D,Virgilio (must have been his The Lamb Rewired album, which had sold out - I would think another label might pick that up at some point).
