aspects of physics . . .  little known san diego math/postrock band from san diego, occasionally featuring rob crow of pinback...

heavy vegetable (maybe?)  early pivotal san diego math rock...check them out for yourself.

also...is Gorguts on here? (extreme prog metal); maybe not their first couple albums but "obscura" is definitely prog influenced...

and most importantly Amorphous Androgynous...side project of Ambient electronic artists future sound of london.  check out "the isness"  its a pretty progressive/retro album reminiscent of 1960's love-in. 

anyway i registered just so i could suggest these bands and help the archives become more comprehensive and extensive.  shoot me down if you so feel but check these bands out.

Thanks saintprimus, we don't shoot anyone who suggests new music Wink - could you possibly post some links to band websites where we can hear samples of each band (eg MySpace)
What?

Gorguts is on the PMT list (has been there for some time now) and are as of now, rejected (though I think all agree that Obscura alone is the album that would support their inclusion).
 
As for the other Math-rock, I'll let Ruben know about this.

Heavy Vegetable - relistening to this I don't know if you guys will consider it "true" prog but it defitnitely has elements...short, catchy pop songs, with shifting melodies and time signatures and interesting harmonizations with tongue and cheek lyrics...my fav songs on their myspace profile are "head rush" and "doesn't mean sh*t" but they're all good.  "Jackie Chani" might be the most prog.

Aspects of physics - used to be a more ambient/electronic style band, the stuff on their myspace profile doesn't to their recent albums justice....here's a video for you to consider:  http://youtube.com/watch?v=itp_erlOtJU

Amorphous Androgynous - In my opinion, essential to the archives...   http://www.myspace.com/amorphousandrogynous check out "mellow hippo disco show"

also another band i thought of in the meantime, another obsucre/presently defunct san diego band, but if Sleeping People is on here then I think these guys deserve a mention:  Dura Mater   http://www.myspace.com/duramater (not the best example of their music, but deserves a listen anyway).  I'll try to find a way to put up more of their music.

I'm pretty sure Sleeping People are on there. If not, they really should be. Listening to them now and it's absolutely fantastic.

EDIT:
yep, here they are http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=2920

Math Rock? Yes!
After listening to the songs in their myspace page, I'm convinced that they're definitely Math Rock material.

Judging from the only song they have at their myspace page I'm pretty sure that they'll fit nicely in Heavy Prog. They have a very strong King Crimson influence that will surely help in pushing the band to PA.  But it's just one song. I think it's best if we wait for more material to come around.
