I was lucky enough to know them before they disintegrated, but like the epic band they were.. they decided to break after their 4th album (which was kind of a let down after the masterpiece FRAMES) and I guess they called it quits because they didn't want to become a sold out/blood sucking/money oriented band with no good new material http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC1Ts8LHnKU

Or more of a prog metal kinda thing? you should, I had them on my ipod a long time before checking them out, so when I decided to give them a try I absolutely fell in love with them.. and like all good music, it takes a bit to really comprehend the entirety of the songs and yes, it's atmospheric/progressive rock, awesome to trip alone or background music in parties and shit and also to play along =Lightweight said:I loved the CD with "Commemorative T-shirt" on, forgot its name tho.

I think that's it

The full original title is Commemorative 9/11 T-shirt. But anyway... been listening to these guys for a while... since right around "Everyone Into Position" I think. Always wanted to see them live, but never got the change to :'(. I do have "Feed to Feed", so I guess I'll just have to settle for that. And, for the record, "Frames" is pretty much one of the most perfect albums ever created. See, for example, this video: Savant (from Frames Live). If you don't love this, it probably means you have no soul. It's turtles all the way down.
