YEAAAAH!

I need more music like this!

Can I get a list of bands or something?

"Progressive" is such a broad term.

Go with Cloudkicker now, if you haven't already. Then get Periphery's instrumental album.

Michael Jackson- Bad

Fuck yeah.

Cloudkicker I am familiar with but which one is Periphery's instrumental album?

They have made more than 1 album?

BLASPHEMY! THERE ARE NO PLANETS IN SUCH SHORT DISTANCES FROM THE EARTH!

Cool song though.

Just the album they released earlier this year, but instrumental! They did it because a lot of their fans didnt care for the vocals and loved Misha's instrumental demos.

You're welcome Cloudkicker is still my current musical addiction.

NEW ENSLAVED

its freakin awesome


now fuck off

This.

Cloudkicker is a bit monotonous though IMO, not as "sound-scape-ish" as Dev's music.

Currently listening to Philip Glass's Koyaanisqatsi, nice tunes, might get monotonous after a while too
I need to see the movie too.

Stealing axiom who are spamming fan projects section are cool as well. There's also Keith Merrow, he's a bit more straightforward metal, though.

I won't even ask about Tesseract :>

And there's always my stuff when I finally finish it XD

Anthony, I'm surprised you like Chimp Spanner. His Vai influences are abundantly clear.

Maybe it's the down-tuned guitars and time sigs...

Or the fact that his music actually isn't complete wankery, and is well written.

Plus, down-tuned guitars aren't even a factor. Just about everyone knows two of my all time favorite bands are Opeth and Porcupine Tree. And before the last album, PT had really only gone to drop D.

I checked out Cloudkicker....actually very good stuff! Thanks for the recommendation, Anthony!

I guess maybe I'm just old. I grew up in the 80's, and was immensely impressionable. When Vai came on the scene, it just rocked everyone's world, including mine. He is one of a kind. Shit, people wouldn't be playing 7-strings, or 8 for that matter if it weren't for him. He is a bit pompous yes, and loves the wank, but it's not all he does. Different strokes I suppose.

I said that because if you take away the down-tuned guitars and time sigs, the modes Chimp Spanner uses and the harmonic/melodic context are pure Vai...at least in that link you posted.

Istapp - Blekinge

Not sure if they're serious. A bit too much snow, frost and absolute freezing point grimness (all in swedish) plus weak production...but I like the epic bits.

This guy's stuff is more atmospheric than what i was looking for, but NOT BAD!
