Sorry for the late reply. Been busy but I just listened to their two albums. Apparently they were one of the first bands to be called 'post-rock' back in 1995. I don't hear much space rock at all (only in some of the compilation stuff). The first album doesn't scream Prog! but is experimental rock similar to other stuff labelled 'post-rock' from 1994-96. The second album is generally more stereotypical 'post-rock' stuff. The second album has a Roger Dean cover (or a good imitation). It has a song named after an '80s/90s era pornstar (the 2nd vid in the OP)... not important but I thought I would point that out.  There is a track called "Hot For Krishna" which is very proggy but also not very long. The beginning seemed like a parody of Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher" If all their music sounded like that they would be on here no problem (except they would be in Eclectic or something). If you want I can give the suggestion to my team, but not much will happen until the Holidays in a month or so. ------------- Magma America Great Make Again |

I love this band! Regardless of whether they fit in PA or not (never occurred to me to suggest them, myself). I first heard them on college radio in the 90s and got both of their albums. They're still in pretty frequent rotation on my player. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

They were added to Progfreak four years ago it seems; I put them in the Post chart. ------------- Magma America Great Make Again |
