Wow. How did these guys slip past me? In my CD and vinyl collection of over 1200 albums, I have over 500 that might be classified as progressive rock...and the fact that Power of Omens has yet to join the ranks of my other favorite artists is somewhat disturbing. As a fellow progressive rock musician and writer it is hard to see such unbelievable talent not have the exposure they well deserve. I hope the internet and boards like this one will allow them to grow and gain a big enough following that they will one day be included in every progressive rock fan's collection.

I am new to this board, but I am excited about becoming part of something so fresh....these guys have a unique sound and can flat out play!

Great post...that "where has this album been all my life" feeling is something magical indeed...

Actually, it's a bit funny why I can't remember how I discovered PofO.

I bought Eyes of the Oracle back in 2000 or something.

I bought Eyes of the Oracle in 2001 from a seler on eBay because it was described as similar to Dream Theater. Man, was I suprised!

Thanks Dave! To be honest, I'm glad that I listened to the music and loved it as much as I did before our talk. I think we always try to give things the benefit of the doubt when we've already have met someone and like them....and I was given the opportunity to listen unbiasly and became a fan before I found out what a great person you are. The fact that your passion and honest commitment to your music as opposed to the almighty dollar is so sincere is simply a plus. I am on a crusade now to share your music with my other prog buddies and I hope that they will hear the same incredible things I did.
