This is a preview of an upcoming all-instrumental release by Petroleum Falcon. It's a clip containing over an hour of music edited down to about 4 1/2 minutes. I think some of you will like at least some of this quite a bit. As a long time veteran of debates about what is and what is not "prog", I'm not really sure I know any more. But I can tell you this is neither neo-prog or prog-metal if that helps.  Hope you like. By the way, there are 3 covers here (hint, all from movies), see if you can pick them out... |

Good eclecticism and wonderful soundscape, with a mindkickin' videoclip.  Amazing!  ------------- http://www.facebook.com/damoxt7942" rel="nofollow">

Thanks, sometimes you concentrate on producing something so much you loose track of whether it's really all that good or not. It's a perspective thing I guess. Anyone have any guesses on where the 3 cover songs come from? Free CD to the first person who gets all 3 (once it is released). |

It is like 70īs prog. It reminds me of Yes and Robert Fripp. I had to laugh at the Imperial march theme :D Do you have myspace |

Thanks guys. While there has been a resurgence of prog or prog-like music over the last several years I haven't seen a lot of instrumental stuff going on in that department. That's where I'm coming from. Don't have a MySpace page but I do have a website with some older stuff and collaborations. It's all instrumental, some more prog, some more rock and there is a cool ambient release from my brother there. http://www.petroleumfalcon.com - http://www.petroleumfalcon.com This is the second cover, BTW. I think the third is pretty obvious by now. I'll follow up once the release is done. Should be another month or so hopefully. |

Well, it's officially released now if anyone's interested. No longer "unsigned". Available at most of the
usual places. http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/PetroleumFalcon3 - http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/PetroleumFalcon3 http://www.amazon.com/Breaking-the-Second-Law/dp/B003WJAVOQ/ref=dm_ap_alb1 - http://www.amazon.com/Breaking-the-Second-Law/dp/B003WJAVOQ/ref=dm_ap_alb1 ...etc. Hope you like! By the way, I do have a limited number of actual disks (the release is officially download only). If anyone can name 3 prog quotes from the album (they're kind of sprinkled here and there), I'll send you a free CD. Give you a freebie - First song at 2:11 "Gates of Delirium"... |

Sounds very good, professionally done and creatively inspired.  BTW I was rather thinking of Pink Floyd when the sample track hit 2:10  |
