    Artificial Language - The Observer (FFO: Native Construct, Haken)

    So this is a sweet little album that I think deserves way more attention that it's getting. It's very much in the quirky modern prog metal style that Native Construct and Haken are doing right now, but with a bigger emphasis on neoclassical shred. I think it's pretty damn good! Whole album is...

    Beyond the Bridge - The Old Man and the Spirit

    Has anyone else heard this yet? Good prog metal with male and female vocals. There's some pretty interesting stuff going on in this album. I'm not even sure how much I like it at this point, but at the very least there's a few moments in every song that have me saying "Holy shit." Its...

    Turntable.fm - Super fun music site.

    http://turntable.fm/ppusa Anyone heard of this? Its a chat room where up to 5 guys act as "DJs" and play tracks. I've been in here the past two nights with a group of friends and its surprising how much fun this is and how easy it is to lose track of time on here. I created a ProgPower...

    The "Find something sexier than Conception" Challenge.

    Please. I dare you. Show me a metal album sexier than Conception's "Flow". Its just not possible. This is what metal will sound like 50 years from now. Thats how ahead of its time Flow is/was.

    Streaming the video announcement?

    I don't know what it takes to able to do this, so basically I'm just wondering if this is financially possible. Everyone who's been to PP these past two years knows the excitement of seeing the video live. Since I won't be making it this year, I'd love to be able to stream the video from home...

    Prog Metal discs post '91 pre '97.

    So today as I was celebrating the birth of one Daniel Gildenlow I realized I don't have much from this time frame. Am I missing out on some real gems? I'd like some suggestions from obscurer stuff from bands that didn't end up breaking out afterward. Suggestions please, and preferably some...

    Taco Buffet?

    So I could just be tripping balls right now, but I'm PRETTY SURE when I first started visiting these forums a few years ago there were talks about a Taco Buffet in Midtown? Is this Taco Cabana that I've seen posted around here? I'm just curious as I've gone the last few years and haven't seen...

    The Dear Hunter - Act III: Life and Death (Eclectic Prog Rock)

    Anyone into these guys? These guys draw influences from all kinds of music and blend it into one completely mind blowing sound. Their latest album Act III: Life and Death is much darker than their previous two and leaning more towards the progressive rock side of their sound. With this latest...

    Astra - From Within (RIYL: Circus Maximus, Symphony X)

    Please help.

    So I was an idiot and decided to hold off reserving our hotel until today. Turns out the Super 8 is completely booked. I've been searching for other hotels but pretty much everything in the surrounding areas is booked completely during the weekend. Now we're all broke 17 year olds, with no...

    On a scale of 1-3 how good would you consider the Super 8 Motel to be? Being that myself and some friends are first timers here at ProgPower, we would like to know the quality of the service at this motel. We are looking forward to making it to Where the Playa'z Play, Georgia this Fall...
