    Sure. Has a bit of a PFM feel and structurally reminds me of Caravan's "A Hunting We Shall Go".

    Dude....you're kinda becoming a bit spammy. This is your band and you're starting a couple of threads a day. I think those posts are supposed to be in the artist's forum.
    If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:

    Also, Ephemeral Sun: it's a thing and we like making things that might be your thing: https://ephemeralsun.bandcamp.com

    Uh-oh. A picture of a band against a wall; isn't there supposed to be some sort of prohibition on that now?

    This song definitely sounds proggy to me, although I'd classify it more as fusion than prog. They sound a lot like the Dregs with Steve Morse giving way to sax (or keyboard, can't tell if its a real sax).

    Yes - and quite enjoyable to my tastes.

    I liked the first 50 seconds of mellow folk-rock (reminds me a bit of Clannad and Moving Hearts) but then it went all horrible free from jazzy and I turned it off. But there's no prog rock there to my ears.

    Sounds good. I like it.

    Sounds to me like a little KC and Yes guitar work. I like it ALOT. One of the best songs I have heard all year. Congrats!

    Ok... I dont get people sometimes - if this isnt progressive rock - what the hell is it then? lol Fast complicated rock? Folk Rock? Speedy Jazz-esque rock? Tribalish rock n roll? Synth rock? Guitar rock? Drum bass guitar music?

    Good lord.

    ... well, you should know by now that there is a notable percentage of "prog" fans who think 'it aint "prog" if it doesn't sound like Yes or Genesis'

    truly sad that such an amazing, multi-cultural musical movement that existed in the early-mid 70s has become this trite little pidgeonholed sound a bunch of closed-minded fans keep in a shoebox under their bed

    to my ears, this sounds like some very good Prog music somewhere between Prog Fusion and Prog Symph and not wearing its influences on its sleeve

    try not to spam the board though my friend

    Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?

    Yes I would.
    Really enjoyed it - thanks!

    I don't know if it is prog but it is something many fans of prog would like. I did.

    Since the purpose of this thread was to promote the music and we got the canned "what is prog" responses out of the way , I'm closing this.
    WANTED: Sig-worthy quote.
