This, sometime back in 2005 I guess. I think I might have been searching for some KC reviews after a friend got me into Red and I wanted to know more.
It's on PA!

Just Googling 'Prog Rock' one day and this site was - I think - the first hit of the search. I delved in, joined up and that was that. I think that was 2004.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Hi,
 
I was on the Internet looking up information on old friend Guy Guden and his Space Pirate Radio show and it linked to the thread on this board ... and I have been here since.
 
For all it's worth, Guy's show for more than 25 years, still is the most progressive of all shows and the only one that "KNEW" what progressive meant and lived it ... not just talked about it ... or use a word frivolously ...
 
And there were many folks that we write about here that were a part of his show and added to it with many ID's and other bits ...
 
Too much of the stuff on the internet and other shows out there, are just copies of every single commercial site out there and most of them have no talent, ability, or desire ... to show the music and art ... with its music and its art.
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I honestly don't remember. I was either searching for more info on some band and came across the site, or June might have mentioned it at some point.Confused

we don't need to be clever in this , ask Google about Progressive music sites , and yu'll get the answer in a million ways , but in my opinion , Progarchives comes third on the net after youtube & facebook ! well organized musical site and i respect the way it's growing & managed , but still , until certain limits !

I was looking up reviews for albums by Magellan because I thinking of getting some of their music, and stumbled on this weird website called ProgArchives.... then I looked up reviews for Haken's album, and I found the website again and then I joined Big smile

Andy, I must be one of the biggest fans of CC's Somewhere But Yesterday out there, as you can guess by my 5-star review here in PA. An absolute masterpiece, you've got my deepest admiration.
 
As for the OP question, I am not sure if it was by a link on the site DPRP (Dutch Progressive Rock Page) which I frequently checked out, or simply by some Googling. Great find either way. 
[/QUOTE]

Wow - far, far too kind... I honestly hadn't gone & looked at the reviews. It's weird - rehearsing/recording the album filled almost a year of my life, but it was 17 years ago now, and I'm always amazed that anyone's ever heard of it at all...

Be honest now though, it was Nick (the drummer) & my painstaking recreation of the sound of a wall being knocked down that really clinched it for you, wasn't it?  ;-)

For anyone interested, Stewart & Cyrus are meant to be releasing a new Citizen Cain album...ummm...soon. And the back catalogue was supposed to be re-released on Festival Music here in the UK, but that seems to have been postponed a little. Presumably to tie-in with the new album.

Anyway,in the meantime, ye'll just have to make do with the guys' facebook page:
http://www.facebook.com/citizen.cain.progressive.rock

(Of course I'm over there, too - http://www.facebook.com/andygilmourmusic )  :-)





Thanks again,

Cheers,

Andy

Hmm...I think while googling King Crimson after hearing Les Claypool's Frog Brigade's cover of Thela Hun Ginjeet on one of their live albums.

I was searching for prog radio...real radio, not online stuffs. I have still yet to find this elusive beast, but I have found PA so I guess it was good for something.
