Great music heavily influenced by the 70s prog, I think the Neo Team will eat this. My only concern is that the band has only one 25-minute ''Demo'' EP. Not sure if this will be enough for an addition but will ask the team to check it out.

Thanks for recommending us! We also have an EP of our 28 minute track along with assorted tracks on ReverbNation. Plan to hit the studio this year and release our first LP. Thanks, Justin ------------- Tales From Topographic Oceans |

My impression is that they are very close to Symphonic. But our team standard is at least one official album released Iván -------------

@Justin - just to bring you up to speed... the Neo Team, who you were original passed to, felt your music is closer to Symphonic Prog. As you will see from Iván's post above, the Symph Team shares that impression but will only do a formal evaluation once you release a full album.
Please keep us updated on the band's progress. Good luck in the meantime, feel free to get in touch anytime!

The problem is Justin, that once we almost added a band before they released an official album, sadly (and I'm sure it's not your case), they never released it, so we have to retire the band. A second time, the band released the album but it wasn't Symphonic at all (Exceopt for a couple of tracks in the demo), and we still have the band Since then, we (The Symphonic Team), only add albums with at least one official album.

Hey guys thanks for the update. I agree that we are more symphonic than Neo, or at least that was our intentions :P Will keep you guys updated once the LP is released. Thanks for listening, Justin ------------- Tales From Topographic Oceans |

And it is symphonic IMO I loved the music. Sadly the only thing we ask is one album. We are waiting impatiently for the release Iván
