I Recommend...

The Third Ear Band ...... Alchemy LP and they also did the sound track for a Playboy magazine production of Macbeth. Saw them in Regents Park w/ Caravan way back. (at least I think it was Regents 1973?)

Macaluso is known for his numerous acts over decades (the acclaimed Norwegian progmetal band Ark, the supergroup Starbreaker, TNT, Yngwie Malmsteen etc). "The Radio Waves Goodbye" is comprised with various musical incorporations, mainly progressive metal, progressive rock, jazz fusion and art rock. It also features guests known from the prog act, such as James LaBrie, Vitalij Kuprij, Marco Sfogli and many more outside the prog territory. You can visit his site and listen to the 6 tracks out his debut album from the media player. I recommend the tracks "Soul In Your Mind" and "T-34" for their prog-metal orientation and other tracks that are more Jazz-fusion oriented (besides "Pretzel" that is more of a drum solo track). Even better if you give http://www.johnmacaluso.com/ in your post

Oh, I thought I added the link in my post, but I guess I was too tired to notice.

That's them but that's a pretty sad internet presence.

I'm listening to the excellent Meditavolutions (1996) by tragically overlooked jazzcore/prog band Iceburn (also called Iceburn Collective but I think the original plain Iceburn name sounds cooler) and I'd like you to listen to it too and join my campaign to get them included in the PA listings as they deserve. Instrument focused (but there is some singing) madness by real virtuosos. It's very raw, sounding improvised, live, unedited, almost as though it was actually played in one take without the usual trickery which is quite admirable. The fact that the album is a musical palindrome is one of the most deliciously proggy ideas I've ever seen. It has a 22 minute track called Sphinx, how can you resist?
