How bout some prog talk to get this new forum kickstarted?
Got 'To watch the storms' , Steve's latest disc, and have some first listen impressions. This came with a booklet of lyrics and yes, once again his wife's artwork, which is uninspiring to these eyes. Much to my suprise, Steve has managed to put out something fresh, original and good, progressive with a capital P. Blending acoustic guitar with howling electric, strange time signitures with lots of twists and turns but with structure and melody. Not a wankfest, it's a whole band concoction and they 'clicked'. Favorite song so far would be Mechanical Bride, but hey only had one listen. Ran out of new ideas towards the end, but the first two thirds knocked me out.
