^earlyprog ... if you read the genre definition with care you'll notice that we are trying to define a dividing line between psych/space and progressive psych/space ... I'd say very distinctive for a progressive rock website .. and not an easy task at all ...

I wouldn't deny that Centric Jones' music has a symphonic touch too, and it's just that, an example where most of the things are not obviously black or white, yes or no, so much the more something in between.

Are you sure the Symphonic Team will accept Centric Jones? We are often faced with the decision to fiind the most appropriate subgenre, and of course there will exist deviating views and appraisals in such cases.

Bands blend different styles, have varied approaches - this defines their unique style - however makes it often difficult to assign them. I personally prefer to be generous with additions, the alternative would be much more ping pong between teams with the result of a vast number of pending evaluations.

There are bands which are way more a no-brainer than Centric Jones, however the keyboard/synths and guitars are predominantly spacey, the ethereal vocals as well as the cover art are genre typical, not symphonic.

Finally, of course you have the possibility to write a prolific review and to clarify things from your point of view.
