As already told you, I'm a keyboardplayer and symphonic composer as well and after a repeated listen to this "A Cup...", I think that "Shadowland" is a better place to start with them, for a more personal stuff;otherwise I prefer the contemporary prog bands like After Crying, Sagrado Coracao da Terra, Echolyn and Anglagard (this latter 70's oriented); in the 70's Mirtharandyr's "For you the old women" were an original reply to Yes and Gentle Giant.Today there are a few really "progressive" bands
I'm a progressive keyboardplayer from Milan (Italy) and I think of "Lex Rex" as one of the best efforts by Glass Hammer, even though sometimes They're a bit prolix and not too much original in the composition:the style is often in the vein of the early Yes:probably with Shadowlands They start to find a more personal path.My favourite prog bands are After Crying, Echolyn, Anglagard, regarding the contemporary bands, then of course the "70's Dinosaurs": Yes- UK-Camel- Renaissance-ELP, etc.
@thegalaxybeing It's funny, I just found them, too. I don't have ANY of the albums you have, and I am totally blown away. I've got "Shadowlands", "Three Cheers for the Broken Hearted", "Evermore", "Perelandra", and "Lex Rex". I will be getting all of them, they are absolutely amazing. The fact they're not on your local radio station says everything you need to know about the music business.
I Just learned about Glass Hammer about a month ago. I have 3 cd's by them now. Just purchased "If" and "Chronometree". Then I was fortunate enough to find a used copy of "The Inconsolable Secret"
I will acquire their whole catalog, I'm sure. Everything I've heard by them thus far is great.
I'm a Progressive addict. I like Yes, Nektar, Mike Oldfield, Tangerine Dream, Pink Floyd, ELP, Yes, PFM, Focus, King Crimson, Early Genesis, Rush & Renaissance among others, and these guys fit right in!
Okay, this song is just plain incredible. Progressive rock at it's finest. Props to the folks of Glass Hammer.
