	There are now four 4-track EPs on bandcamp - the last three all in pretty much the same vein as the first one. Pleasant enough instrumental, spacey, ambient music that might just be considered as Post Rock perhaps...but certainly rather light on the rock content to these ears. A suggestion for Darryl to maybe have a quick look at if he happens to spot the topic, but without one of our recognised sub genres in the topic title, that can't be guaranteed by any means.

	Hi Yam-yam, thanks for listening. Do you suggest I edit the title to include one of the recognized sub-genres? Thanks again. Agree, the tunes only overlap a little bit with more conventional "post-rock". So it goes. :) Bounce is my favorite. More songs coming.

	Yes, absolutely edit the title to include a sub genre. Perhaps include both Post Rock and Crossover Prog? I personally don't really see this as a fit for Crossover, and the team has Hell of backlog to work through at the moment, but if the Post Rock boys don't take up the mantle then I don't see where else we might be able to accommodate you on here. No harm in trying both options eh?

	Thanks for the suggestion. Sorry for taking so long to give you a reply, Gabe, we missed this before. Added to the post/math rock chart with my 'Yes' vote (needs two more to get in). http://progfreak.com/Gabriel-Baker-169793.html?path=pa/recent Edited by The Bearded Bard - December 05 2017 at 15:16
