    Innosense - For you Khan fanboys out there!

    you guys are right , the production is a bit muddy, and the music is very reminiscent of several other bands. i do think the vocalist phrases like kahn, but the song is damn decent and worth listening to some more. i'd like to hear the rest of what these guys have to offer:flame:

    Hey ixrayu...

    Like a few others, I was dissappointed when I heard this year's line up, but thanks to Troy (ixrayu), I have managed to become somewhat acquainted with most of the bands appearing this year. Have to say I'm excited about seeing about 90% of the bands. The other 10%, well I guess when their sets...

    Passing of a Progpower Attendee

    Yes there were long lines and lots of stories. Troy placed "eddie" with Ray, and several people put music with Ray. Seems fair since he turned a lot of on to new stuff all the time. Fitting it was given back to him. If there was any good thing that happened yesterday or today at the funeral...

    Passing of a Progpower Attendee

    Ray and i met about 30 years ago in a place called The House of Music Record Store. Even then he was the most knowledgable guy i ever met when it came to ALL music. Some time later, about 20 years ago, Ray opened Avatar Records. It was nothing to walk in and be greeted with "hey man, what's...
