"WASTE LAGOON" was an awesome prog. band, but they aren't around anymore. Does anyone know what happened to them ?
Their music could be found at:

Now that you mention it, I haven't heard from Sune in a long time... As I recall, he was going to focus some on his label so maybe that's taking all of his time now.

If noone has heard of them, there are clips on this page:

There's a band named 7 For 4. It's a crazy semi-instrumental band, with some of the best and most bizarre songs I've heard. GREATLY RECOMMENDED.

 

[Liquid Tension]

I'll second the 7 for 4 recommendation.
Both of their discs are very diverse.

 

[dargormudshark]

can we get a link for 7 for 4?

[The Stormbringer]

There's a band named 7 For 4. It's a crazy semi-instrumental band, with some of the best and most bizarre songs I've heard. GREATLY RECOMMENDED.

One would expect no less from a band featuring former Sieges Even guitarist Wolfgang Zenk.

By the way - check out Sieges Even... all of you!

Threshold - Subsurface. Get this album! Words could not justify how awesome this cd is.

Thanks a lot for those links. A lot of those bands are awesome.

 

[Androz]

Pain of Salvation - Be, one of the best albums of 2004

 

[Gildamere]

Definitely check out Spiral Architect's A Sceptic's Universe. It's a truly awesome album.

Poverty's No Crime
Enchant

anything on progrock.com's radio is awesome.

 

[Kronikle66]

I heard Spiral Architect's "A Skeptic's Universe" after hearing so many good things about the band. I wasn't the least bit impressed. It sounded like Andromeda's "II-I" which I also disliked.
