Ghosts of Pompeii

From Prognosis.com...

During the 1970's, Joseph Shingler was the keyboardist for the theatrical Prog/Rock group based out of the mid-west (Indiana) called Vesuvius. Decades later, Joseph Shingler retutned to the creation of progressive rock and addopted the name Ghosts Of Pompeii in honor of his past excursion into progressive music.
Ghosts of Pompeii is, according to the artist, "A tonal experiment in melody, harmony, nature, and rhythm, cross-pollinating and fusing genres to create a distinctive style apart from others in the progressive rock field. The music is firmly in the old school progressive rock genre with elements of jazz-fusion, avant-garde, aggressive electronics, and filmscore".

I listened to a few tracks of his on MySpace and it caught my attention.  Problem is, I can't find his albums for sale anywhere.  Besides the tracks on MySpace, you can listen to some tracks on SoundClick...

Anybody know where I can track down CDs or MP3s ???

The little I heard just now sounded good. Then again I like keyboard oriented stuff like that.

well captcha being a bitch this morning.

I haven't shopped there in years Pedro..  I used that site vigerously back in the day when filling out the shelves with classic prog. However since then ..especially when Raff and I merged our rather extensive yet divergent collections I really haven't needed to order from him. However the way I remember he had the site laid out was very easy to use and find just what you were looking for. These days I mainly order new stuff and obviously use the websites of the artists/labels directly to order them.  I remember him having pretty much everything.. everything that was available.. and even what he didn't have.. he could help you find... the real obscure stuff which is why I turned to him to help me find that Aussie group.  

cool... here's hoping you have some luck! Who knows.. guy may have a 100 unsold complementary copies of the album in his basement.. might toss you one just for the effort or liking what you've heard haha.

sad to see he no longer makes it out to Progday.. can't blame him though.. crowd sizes probably don't make it worth the expense and we all know how bad that Carolina heat and humidity can be outdoors.

Greg has no inventory of Ghost of Pompeii.  He knew Joseph Shingler and tried to email him, but the email bounced back.  I found another email after some digging, and it worked!  Joseph contacted me and explained that his CD manufacturers were all "burn on demand" and that they have gone out of business.  There is no inventory lying around for purchase.  He did, however, offer to send me a compilation CD that he sends to those people who express interest in his music.  I'll never get all 9 CDs he's produced, but at least I can enjoy what is available.
