Rich Casey (Symphonic Prog)

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I haven't heard this guy, but I came across a review of his album House of Cards and he is described as Symphonic Progressive Rock in the vein of Genesis.  His tagline is "progressive rock even your girlfriend will like".  So maybe there is hope for us.  Or maybe that is a sign that it is crossover prog instead.

Anyhow, I found a link to his House of Cards album on CD Baby which has some description and reviews and some links to samples.  It also refers to his first album No Way Out, which is described as more instrumental, so possibly even more progressive.

Has anybody heard this artist or have any thoughts on whether this is progressive under PA definitions?

And here is a link to CD Baby for his first album:

This one is described as Tony Banks meets Tony Iommi, but he still says to bring your girlfriend along.

	I listened to the samples for the first album No Way Out, and there is some progressiveness there, but to be honest it mostly just sounds like new age to me.
