[atlantaprog] Re: New CD recommendation

I just heard the one song on the webpage, and I have to say this is one of
the strangest things I've heard on a major label release in... hmm, I can't
even remember how long.  7 minutes of unabashed prog freakout.  I'm not sure
I _like it_ that much but I'll have to give it a few more listens.  Parts
reminds me of "Heart of the Sunrise" and Beavis on a sugar rush.
("N-N-N-N-Nica-RAGUA!")
