Going pretty slowly, haven't even finished the A's off yet LOL! The random always wins out in the end, I'm definitely getting sidetracked via the sub genres, I come across something I really like and then I find myself digging into that particular sub genre for more goodies. I am certainly enjoying the ride and finding A LOT of albums I enjoy pretty much from start to finish. At times I feel I am about to OD on good music, but then I just keep listening and that feeling is lost in the great music.

Sure is. Your golden. 36 is a prime age for sure. Anyway, I hope it's going well and that you are discovering what is the right sound for yourself. What's your favourite band so far? |

I can't pick a favorite; I'm too new to the whole prog/related universe that I am constantly finding stuff I like from start to finish and my particular tastes/musical moods change so often it's hard to pick one specific favorite. I am tending towards the more recent stuff of the last couple decades; there is a ton of older more vintage stuff I have not explored very much yet.
Right now I am really fond of Moonwagon, Echolyn, Pelican, Haken, Riverside and Astra.

Although you didn't like my band, I feel privileged that we were the first you tried out of all seven thousand and however-many.

I remember beck in the 90's when i upgraded Trespass from LP to CD, almost cried because I thought there was no much more to search for, I didn't liked (past) Neo Prog, had all Yes, Genesis, ELP,Triumvirat, Focus, etc, so I thought my search was almost over. Today I own at least one album from each Symphonic band, plus several hundred of other genres albums, and the adventure is still beginning, each day I find more gems I never bought or new albums that are released every year. This is a never ending quest. Iván

I used to go on Greg Walker's website which is called "Synphonic Music". I would click on the flags, read Greg's brief description of a band, proceed to research the band's history on the internet, look for samples and decide what I wanted to take a chance on first. In many cases he's cheaper than scumlord sellers on Amazon and overall more trustworthy to do business with. Many sellers I ran across on Amazon would have a prog title up for 20 or 30 dollars while Greg would be selling it for 15 or 18.

Who IS this guy?? Man, is he pervasive or what?? If it tastes like Spam, it must be Spam! Anyway, I find that the best way to find new prog music is to network with good friends! PA has turned me on to many excellent bands, and I've enjoyed sharing stories about local Chicago talent as well. Have fun on your journey!

I did listen and although the music is not my kind of thing it was interesting in an experimental and exploratory way. Also, I totally gave up on this whole thing for the most part. I've never been all that ambitious hehe. I keep coming across too much good stuff through other means or randomly.

There is never an end to great music.
In my experience I got to a point where I no longer needed to search and all I had to do was sit back and enjoy
