Rodrigo San Martin (Symphonic Rock from Argentina)

I'm finally on the archives! 

Great to know you are cleared for addition. So my review can be at last posted :)

As a matter of fact, you can. You can provide us biography (preferably a little bit different than the one you normally use - more objective, less subjective)

&

tracklisting for all full releases + lineup, who was playing or doing what.

 

It can be sometimes very difficult to gather these informations.

Rodrigo, I would like to say that you have my vote for Crossover. Two other needed. I posted link you have on myspace for the album (in our team thread).

Hi Rodrigo.

How is the interview progressing, btw ?

*gentle reminder*  

I can hear some of the influences. Certainly Porcupine Tree, also Oldfield in the guitar tone, chord changes and the juxtaposition of elements. I'm guessing all those influences were listed in order to increase traffic from searches.

I'm not sure where this music belongs. It's definitely prog rock. I would have said Eclectic myself, possibly crossover. It doesn't fulfill the requirements for prog-related.

I think that Crossover would be best for this band. I think PR would be a bit harsh, seeing as it is obviously prog, just not prog enough for symphonic.

Oh sorry for my belated reply, but let's see the definition of Related and you can find as follows: Prog Related is the category that groups bands and artists that: - Without being 100% Prog, received clear MUSICAL influence of this genre, AND - Are widely accepted as MUSICALLY influential to the development of Progressive Rock by the community, AND - Blend characteristics of Progressive Rock with mainstream elements creating a final product that despite not being part of the genre is evident that are close to Prog. I suggest he cannot meet the requirement on the red underline maybe. Of course, I think he should be progressive (nearly 100% methinks) so he can be fit for Crossover or Eclectic (as a mixture of Hev and Symph).

I agree.

So, how do we call the eclectic team?

Prog related seems a little harsh to me, sounds like "Not enough prog to be a prog band" haha

You're right, I don't think it's Symphonic anymore, I guess I'd call it Crossover, since it uses a lot prog elements that are not necessarily in the same sub genre.
