Anyone (FA?) familiar with this prog band ?
Sorry if I missed any previous discussion but Amazon just sent me an e-mail pushing their new release called TRUST.

If there ever was a 'Pop" Prog Band, this would be it.

Not much to see here folks, move along. LOL

I'm familiar with their older material. They were big in Canada when I was in high school. But their biggest success was found in Europe, not in North America. I've kept tabs on them throughout the years. The keyboard player, Jim Gilmour, was a friend of my brother (the other brother) in high school and is a Facebook friend of mine. Nice guy. I've been hearing about the recording sessions from Jim's FB posts.

Michael Sadler, their lead singer and a very unique vocalist, left the band a few years ago. However, they announced his return earlier this year, so I think this new album is with Sadler on vocals.

That's about as much as I know about them. I had some of their disks on vinyl back in the day, but all I have of them now is a 'best of' CD.

We saw them live about 15 or so years ago at a downtown club. They put on a great show. The drummer actually broke one of his skins. So the rest of the band grabbed a couple of accoustic guitars and put on an impromptu accoustic set while he fixed it. It was very cool.

How's the new disk? Any good?
