lately I have been listening to alot of music everywhere I go in the car,at work,at home. recently I discovered a message board about christian metal and through it I found a couple bands that I happened to be interested in, along with a advertisement in a christian publication that had these same bands and where you could buy their music.as it turned out the hastings here in Odessa had a couple of them so I bought them and I really liked the bands.
one was Pain of Salvation and the other was The Flower Kings.
both of these bands fit under the prog rock banner,This was all before Christmas
my mom came in to town for Christmas on the 17th and on the 18th we went shopping in midland for my son. while I was at best buy I noticed the Yes box set but was not interested at the time.
fast forward to 22nd. I was at best buy getting my kids {Khris and His Girlfriend}some gift cards because they both like Rap and I have no clue other than I don't like it.I picked up jelly jam 2.I also noticed Proto kaw which is Kerry Livgren's old new band or what some would call Kansas 2 if you know the history of Kerry and Kansas. sometime between the 22nd and the 26th I decided to buy cd's that are not what we would call christian bands but have christians who are the main players I thought of yes and Kansas
well rick wakeman and Kerry livgren as it turned out I have purchased both proto kaw cd's and the ultimate Yes cd,I an kicking my self for not getting the yes box set when I was in midland.I was there yesterday and they did not have it.I never cared that much for Kansas, but thought that I would try them out.
My mom bought me a stereo for christmas so I went to midland to look for music and ended up getting Chris squire's new cd call conspiracy and some awesome headphones.I sat down to listen to music last night and remembered I have not done that since the early 90's.
I was so blessed and the proto Kaw cd is some really awesome music That I will do a review on when I get some time.
since I have been listening to so much music I decided that I needed to change my user name to fit more my lifestyle. i have been thinking lately of the prog rock music I use to listen to in the 70's but I will stay with what is new and current and mostly positive, Christian or faith based.
