Hey all. I've spent ten years away from the prog world working in and listening to non-prog bands but recently my curiosity had been re-kindled by a listen to Porcupine Tree's 'Signify' (I know it's an older PT album but not to someone as behind the times as me) I just wanted to say thanks to the guys and girls at Prog Archives and indeed anyone who has contacted/helped me over the past few months. It's good to be back. S.

I hear ya- I was a prodigal progger too, with The Mars Volta bringing me back home and Spock's Beard making me glad I did. Wow, that's some poor english. Well, you know what I mean ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/sollipsist/?chartstyle=kaonashi">

Sigod: On behalf of Progarchives, welcome back to the real world! We hope you will stay with us, and participation in and contribute to the site. You sound like someone with a "history," and that's good since "institutional memory" is something that has great value to a site like Progarchives. Hope you enjoy yourself! Peace. |

I also have been an "on again-off again" progger and it's nice to see others of the same kind. For a few years I listened exclusively to classical and then for a few years exclusively to electronic,but I couldn't stay away from prog,my first musical passion instilled in me when I was only a wee 13 years of age by the mighty ELP. So I'm back in the fold again. At least for now but I have long since given up understanding the workings of my peculiar mind so there's no way of knowing if this time it's for good or just a revisit before I go off exploring again. ------------- Odi profanum vulgus et arceo. |

You should keep on exploring.Try everything out there from White Stripes to Courtney Pine its all music after all.I dont believe anyone deliberately released a bad piece of music ( well greg lake and his cronies maybe). Dont understand this off and on affair thing you have have going with Prog, To me you either like something or you dont! -------------

Thanks guys (and girls) for the vote of support. Looking forward to making lots of contributions to the Prog Archive site/forums. It's good to see that I'm not alone in my on off relationship with this genre of music and I'm hoping to stay a little more connected with it this time. I also agree with DH on the 'Signify' cover, very, er....strange. Maybe it was a knitting session that got horribly out of hand? Once again thanks for the warm welcome.

I just got into prog about 3 years ago, I'm only 17 now, so I think it's a pretty good age to get into prog and fusion, cuz I can appreciate it alot more than I used to.
I listen to many different styles of music, but prog/fusion are my favorites. I dont think I'm ever gonna stop listening to it either. PROG AND FUSION FOREVER!!! ------------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhuxaD8NzaY" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhuxaD8NzaY |

Was that photograph found buried in some archives or did PT have it specially posed/taken for the album - if it was the latter, you might wonder at Mr Wilson and Co. (and I won't want to be a groupie)? |

Prog_B - Glad to see that the genre is pulling in new younger fans. Without people like yourself, the scene could descend into senility ------------- I must remind the right honourable gentleman that a monologue is not a decision. - Clement Atlee, on Winston Churchill |
