This Australian band was featured with 2 songs in the Prognosis 6 CD with Classic Rock Presents Prog mag. So are they prog? 2 songs sound proggy Rhyme To Reason especially.
see http://www.merlinbird.com.au/ - http://www.merlinbird.com.au/ http://www.themerlinbird.com.au -
read the reviews from prog websites

The Merlin Bird have prog elements certainly though I have not heard the whole CD yet but i am getting it soon as I support all Australian prog bands. Spectrum are another Australian band considered prog by many.
There were other artists that may be considered on that Prognosis CD too. Just a thought. How does the forum feel? -------------

I'm having a little listen now: http://www.myspace.com/merlinbird - http://www.myspace.com/merlinbird I don't know what Prog definitively is, but this Celtic Rock leaning project has PA merit. Reminiscent of Gentle Giant in part. Prog Folk team may want to check this band out -- otherwise maybe Crossover would be interested. I can't listen properly at the moment. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me. |

Interesting.
I quite like this band 'The Merlin'. But what's Bird Prog? Female musicians?

I think these guys would fit Prog Folk. I've posted a request for the other team members to check them out... ------------- "Peace is the only battle worth waging." Albert Camus |
