Topic: Formativ crossover prog Posted: August 21 2016 at 15:57 |
I would like suggest the multi-national prog band FORMATIV and their only album self-titled of 2014.
I copy this biography by PROGGNOSIS: "The birth of Formativ was the year 2012. Jeremy Cubert (USA) had heard a track that John Beagley (UK), who had been working a little with Dave Kerzner, (CEO of Sonic Reality and who has worked with Neil Peart, Simon Collins, Phil Collins, Steve Hackett, Keith Emerson among others) had posted on Kerzners wall using some Neil Peart Drum software. Inspired, he sent John an 18min instrumental piano concerto he had created, and asked if John wanted to work on it with him. Jeremy had worked with Jon Anderson and Billy Sherwood of YES in the past. John took on vocalising and producing the track and suggested the services of Ron Wahle (Netherlands) on drums and guitars. As the track developed the need for some acoustic guitars became evident, and Jeremy linked John and Ron in with Tom Kraus (USA) (formally of Prog Band Illuvatar). Suddenly the track AETUS SUITE was completed. Knowing that something special had happened...The guys decided to work in future as a band, and Formativ was formed. Subsequent 20 min track "Outside Moving In" was created from a Ron Demo, and "Feel" from a demo John had made." Track Listing: 1. Aetas Suite 2. INheritance 3. Outside Moving In 4. Feel 5. In This MIrror Musicians Jeremy Cubert: piano, Chapman stick, organ and solo synths John Beagley: vocals, synths, programming Tom Kraus: nylon and steel string acoustic guitars Ronald Wahle: drums and electric guitars In this bandcamp page : https://formativ.bandcamp.com/track/aetas-suite the PA collabrators find the first track of the álbum "Aetas Suite" for appreciation. I hope could be collaborated !!! Thanks for your attention !!!

Perhaps you could edit your topic title to include a sub genre, so that the relevant team might be able to spot it and take it down into their lair for further investigation? I would expect this to be something for the Crossover team to have a stab at.
We don't quite have samples of the whole album available to listen to at the moment...but almost.
Two lengthy tracks are on bandcamp ('Outside Moving In' and 'Aetas Suite' : https://formativ.bandcamp.com/, and they are also on soundcloud...plus one of the two shorter tracks on the album, called 'Inheritance': https://soundcloud.com/formativ/tracks. The third long track, 'In This Mirror', is on YouTube: Which just leaves us missing the other short track on the album, called 'Feel', which we can get a minute's worth of on cdbaby: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/formativ. Formativ has a facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Formativ, but it's almost exactly a year since there was a status update on there. However, John Beagley - who took care of the vocals, synthesizers, and programming for the project - is very active on there: https://www.facebook.com/john.beagley.10, and he also has the more recent offerings of his own solo material up on bandcamp, of which some is in a similar vein to the music of formativ: https://johnbeagley1.bandcamp.com/. |

Yeah, and the Crossover team is now firing on all four again, so it should get spotted this time around.
