[bagsieblue]

As title says - all you prog rockers - any one into Balance of Power - British Progressive Metal Group??

You lost me with 'Metal'.

I have heard them mentioned in conversations along with bands like Dream Theatre but I've not heard any of their output. Worth a listen?

[bagsieblue]

They are pretty new to me but they've been going for a while.
Recommended from me

[bagsieblue]

Anybody else any input please?

Hello again - I'm not that too familar and was looking to be pointed in a direction similar to yourself.
Apart from the stuff on youtube I was looking for a place to start with them as well.

Not familiar with them but from what I gather there is a CD/DVD compilation available called 'Heathenology' which sounds a sensible place to start.

Thanks - may have to pick this up, although I like a bit of prog rock I am by no means an expert.
Having said that I am surprised that I have not come across them before as the back catalogue is top drawer IMO.

You buy one, I'll buy one and swap?

OK - leave it with me - you hold off for now and I'll pick something up.
In the meantime there is a reasonable amount of stuff on youtube.
You into Dream Theatre by any chance as well Mr EAD?

[winterfire666]

are they a bit like Haken?

Got a few DT CDs so if you want a loan just let me know.

Thanks - might have to take you up on that.
Toying with the idea of seeing them in Manchester in February as well.
