Is 2 years a demonstration of patience? Only joking.

http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37407&PID=2560926

But I think Mahogany Frog are deserving of an entry in the annals of ProgArchives. Don't you? DO5 is a massive album!

I fully appreciate how busy major contributors are here and I truly admire your work and admit, I would not have the time or resources to do what you do. But I do feel compelled to recommend Mahogany Frog to progheads who enjoy a psychedelic Floyd circa 'Saucerful', Focus circa 'III' or Iron Butterly circa 'In-a-Gadda-da-Vida' and enjoy the sort of retro style of Diagonal and Future Kings of England; even though Mahogany Frog are Canadian. And there are references there too, with a Post Rock flavour only Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Silver Mt. Zion can evoke.

C'mon guys - give them the recognition they deserve. And I promise to contribute more reviews to this ite if you do. Quid pro quo and all that jazz Wink.

Cheers,

Mart

This'll be moved to the Suggest New Bands forum. 

Been a  long time since I've listened to Mahogany Frog.  It was actually added to the ProgFreak cart (the one we use for PA suggestions) before for Jazz-Rock Fusion.  to me it sounds like one for "Art Rock" -- and for Eclectic.  It is PA worthy/ should be in PA.  Definite avant edge..

Excellent music.

Here is the myspace site: www.myspace.com/mahoganyfrog
And official site: http://mahoganyfrog.com

And http://cdbaby.com/cd/mahoganyfrog

I will add it to the Eclectic chart and mention it to the Eclectic team.  Oh this is good.

I have In Blue and like it quite a lot. Didn't realize they were not in PA. They should.

I believe Eclectic fits them fine, at least from that album I have.

As a side note, I really should get their other albums.

I just read that Mahogany Frog will be playing ProgDay 2010.  They are the first band signed up.  3 songs from their album Do 5 are available for download from the ProgDay website.  http://www.progday.net/ProgDay-MusicPlayerPage.html
