Hermetic Science (Symph/Eclectic/Crossover)

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Edward Macan, who is a rather well-known progressive rock scholar who has written books on the subject, is also the leader of a progressive rock/jazz rock band consisting mostly of his students.  I am not really familar with the band, but from what I have read I believe that they would fit in our jazz rock/fusion category.  Here is a link to their website and MySpace page which both have some streaming music.  The search function did not reveal that they have been suggested before, so here is a suggestion.

	I wouls have suggested them for Crossover/Eclectic myself. Though their first album is all sorts of jazzy.
	Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.

	Well, I think he should be in Symphonic. Although his first record is more ecclectic in style and influences, the other two records are clearly swmphonic rock: in fact, both contain a long suite. Furthermore, his music is much more inspired on Keith emerson (there´s a Tarkus cover on piano solo) than on jazz, although you can feel its influence from time to time.

	Yes, for me even if some jazzy arrangements,they are more symphonic or crossover ( at list according to what I listened from their samples)

	I think Symph or Eclectic (with a symph slant) based on what I've heard. Shame it's not that impressive (and cheesy). Some nice music in the mix, though.
	Just a fanboy passin' through.
