I'm not sure if this guy is even eligible for inclusion on here because he doesn't actually sell his album anywhere - it's available free from bandcamp.com, and that's it! http://tylercotner.bandcamp.com/album/the-muse. There are a couple of other short offerings available from him via links on that page too (hardly even EPs, with only 1 or 2 tracks included on them, but they do have a title and some album artwork).All I know is that there are some quite decent pieces of prog metal on the 'Muse' album (mostly instrumental, apart from his occasional 'softer' songs such as the second one, 'Claire', which I'm guessing he wrote for the lady in his life), so I'm going to post it here to start off, so that others can get a chance to listen to it, and if it gets moved to another forum then so be it.

The Muse - tracklist:
 1. The Flight (08:18)
 2. Claire (02:52)
 3. Heads and Tails (04:47)
 4. Strangiotic (05:56)
 5. Angry Realizations (01:29)
 6. PassiveAggressive (05:37)
 7. Pines and Chimes (02:12)
 8. In the Vayne (04:11)

He plays and records everything himself, and has a YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/tylerlouisohyeah.

Here are some examples of his stuff:

And one from him in a more reflective mood:

I can find nothing whatsoever about this guy on the Internet - he certainly seems to enjoy keeping a low profile. The contact email given on his bandcamp page is: [email protected] if anyone in the collab zone rates his music sufficiently to fancy having a go at finding out a bit more about him...

	Interesting stuff... seems progressive enough, I guess... I've added him to the chart and alerted the team. http://progfreak.com/Tyler-Cotner-151097.html?path=pa/pm
