07th July - Germany - Night Of The Prog VII - Loreley

That's we're I'll be this weekend. One of the nicest venues in Europe it is!  

Sweet!

Eclipse (part 1 was released as a RWA solo track; I was working on part 2) is now transformed into FORMATIV's 2nd epic. Duration: 20 minute-ish. New title will be "OUTSIDE MOVING IN". 2 more of these and we have an album!  

Well done sir!  

Up to your usual standard Mr.Wahle,congrats to you and the band.. More please!!

Working on it.  

Ha ha, no it's nothing like a copy or anything like that, it just hints at...something (it's gonna drive me mad trying to place it!). It's a bit like how It Bites' "Big Machine" hints at "Welcome To Nowhere"...it's fleeting but it's there.

Anyway, onwards!

Pedro called it! So onwards it is then!  

Amazing the stuff you discover after being away from the Frost* forum for a while. It sounds like something fresh, though familiar. Very good!

Digging the drums as well, good playing there RWA.

Well thanks very much sir.  

Heads up for my (15 year young) son Daniel.  

He just got hired as a drummer for this 3-piece. The guy in the vids is Tommy Meijborg; a very talented local (18 year young) local musician. He's been doing very well lately and has now formed a band with my son in it. They all ready have a few festival gigs lined up for August and September. Later on they will record a proper album as a band.

It's wonderful to see how a couple of 'kids' are so driven, talented and determined to make something happen. No matter how this turns out; I'm one proud father right now!  :mrgreen:

I hope you never find it!  :lol:


I have no clue really. There's no such thing as 'unique music' these days and it wouldn't surprise me if some of it is familiar. The most shocking moments for me are when I recognize something I play/record to find out later I all ready used that particular fill or chord sequence in another song!  :?

Anyways! Exciting times. I suddenly find myself surrounded by 3 very talented musicians and we're all determined to make a shitload more music like this. I released ECLIPSE part 1 a week ago but it's all ready became a 19 minute epic (and counting....) for this band. The creative juices are flowing for all of us so it seems. 2 more of these and we have an album.  

I'm loving it!

Was going to pop over to Echolyn's Bandcamp page after the first listen through, but decided to listen again.  
It's like nothing to been involved with before Ron?

Good lad!  :mrgreen:

It kinda fell in my lap. I've been friends with John Beagley for years and we wanted to do something together for ages. He was asked to do vocals on this track (which he was very excited about since Jeremy wrote a track for John Anderson last year and worked with Billy Sherwood on a track) and brought me in as a drummer. I couldn't help to throw in lot's of e-guitar as well. Both Jeremy and John loved it but wanted some acoustic git as well. This is where Tom came in and before we knew it... it was ready. We were very pleased with it and decided to team up. This all happened in 3 to 4 weeks. Life is funny, eh?!  

.... will let you know when I remember what it is.

I hope you don't so we can keep thinking this is a totally unique piece!  :lol:

Thank you sir!
Uhm... familiar to what?! Our music is completely and utterly unique!
