Oh yeah, I got turned on to Thank You Scientist several years ago...probably from TalkBass! I got their album Maps Of Non-Existent Places on CD. They're definitely good, and quirky enough to be memorable.

Congrats. That debut album is a tough find (at a reasonable cost).
I hit their website & bought the 2nd album for $10. That's a good deal. The 3rd album is readily available.

I highly recommend anything by Rob Reed of Magenta. Magenta (Rob) is all heavily influenced by Yes, Genesis, and Mike Oldfield.
Rob’s Kompendium project is my favorite. Stunning combo of players, genres, and elements. It rocks, it has Celtic bits, has a dynamic singer, choirs, operatic vocals, and the absolute best:
Gavin Harrison drumming!

I'll definitely check that out; having Gavin onboard is like having the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval for modern progressive music!
Have you heard any of his work with 05Ric?
Ooh la la! I am not aware of this…I will listen later.
Thanks!!
Gavin is simply a monster. I have seen him twice with Crimson and once with The Pineapple Thief.
Jeez, you weren't kidding! Steve Hackett, Gavin Harrison, Nick Beggs, Jakko Jackzyk, Francis Dunnery, Mel Collins, BJ Cole, and Dave Stewart !
YOU are my new best friend Bob_Ross! (I always did love your show
)Seriously, thank you for showing me that clip; I was not aware of 05Ric Band but loved it. I ordered their two CDs.
I’m getting back into vinyl and look what I found at my local Half Price Books.
I never made that connection! Funny!YOU are my new best friend Bob_Ross! (I always did love your show
I still have mine that I bought new, way back in the last century.
Here is my ode to King Crimson. Especially their 80's/90's work. A song I finished this week. It started with a 7/4 slapping groove and developped from there: "Ode to the Crimson King". Hope you like it. Let me know if you will....
