Topic: Evolve IV - Prog RelatedPosted: June 13 2008 at 21:37 |
|
Some days ago M@X asked me to check a submission from a band named EVOLVE IV http://www.musicevolve.com/bio.htm, I heard their samples on CD Baby http://cdbaby.com/cd/evolveiv and honestly replied to be educate with the artist.
I received the CD called Decadent Lights and my opinion changed radically, of course they are not the most Prog band in history but the samples don't make justice to them, the band ois IMHO clearly Crossover or at the least Prog Related material.
As any Crossover band they play very close to Prog borderline with mainstream, but I believe inside the Prog territory, but being they have some maihnstream tracks, they should go to Prog Related
Please check them and give me your opinion, I honestly believe they are a Crossover band, but until they release a second album and define their territory, they should be in Prog Related
If required, I can add the bio, photo and what could be required to add them.
Pay special attention to tracks N°
1.- "Number 16" very Neo Prog oriented with a 70's sound, good guitar work
2.- "War": Very much in the vein of Radiohead
3.- "Listen Up": XClearly crossover between Prog, Fusion and Classic Rock with delightful flute and good guitar work in the style of Santana.
5.- "Rolling Alone": Rhytmic ambient Prog with Jazzy leanings
9.- "Voyager": A blend of Rock, Space with a touch of Neo Prog and heavy guitars.
11.- "Good Bye": Sounds inspired in Proto Prog, close to British Invasion with some nice sax sections and elaborate guitar work.

Yes Logan, I'm still waiting, and the band members are sending me PM's for almost a month.
I hope I can give them an answer, positive or negative.

*wonders if enough of the admins are back from their holidays yet?*
Since the request to you came through the owner, he could always get them in via a Deux ex Maxina. ;) |

This gets my support - we've got a submission to our account too some weeks ago - I listened to their songs and prog related suits fine
