04 rec.music.progressive Congratulates Itself
It may be interesting to read what an unbiased and randomly selected
set of r.m.p readers have said about it:
"Not since the '70's when I was actually able to listen to a real
progressive radio station have I been able to pick up such excellent
music. I'm able to glean from opinions expressed here on r.m.p. as
to what artists/albums I would like (as opposed to the old days
where you could listen on the radio). Let me tell you, we've got
a pretty good batting average going! Last weekend I scored two
Camel CDs, Cairo, IQ, Nektar, Eloy and Soft Machine- all at local
Best Buys or Tower. They were all hits and no misses- great music!
Can't wait to find more. Thanks to all on r.m.p!"
*Tony Anello* (anello@wwa.com)
"I, too, can credit r.m.p. with providing me with a long list
of bands that I'd never heard of before. Of course, the things
that have attracted me are recent releases on independent labels,
most of which I haven't been able to find anywhere locally (though
there have been some enjoyable exceptions including Iluvatar's
first release used). Anyway, thanks for helping me find about 90%
of the music I'm currently listening to, and a long list of things
that I'm going to order one of these days. Maybe one day my budget
will allow me to catch up! :)"
*Paul Konstant* (Paul_H_Konstant@sbphrd.com)
"I also would never have heard of or heard most of the stuff I listen
to nowadays if it wasn't for this group or the GEPR; I picked up
on Henry Cow, Magma, Only A Mother, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, and the
entire Cuneiform catalog from this group. A hearty thanks."
*David Lynch* (dflync01@starbase.spd.louisville.edu)
"I'm in the same boat. I'd have never heard about Progday '96. That
in itself has been worth all the online charges ten times over.
Also found out about IQ, Jadis, Pallas, Arena, Enchant, MM Music,
Mastermind, Iluvatar, Discipline, on and on and on.... Even made the
trip up to Montreal (three times!!) to see The Musical Box. Thank
you all for letting me vent my musical opinions and learn about
the best music in all the world."
