Writing New Progressive

New progressive is a bit redundant now that I think of it.  The very definition of progressive music is a type of music that tries not to repeat what has been written before.  Of course, taken literally, this would mean that at one point in time rap was progressive... hardly!  This actually illuminates a problem that we are currently experiencing.  We despise the confining mindsets of genre, but in the current music industry, it is a necessary evil.  The more recent prog projects seem to us to be verging more on the side of metal.  This is well and all, but our style is more symphonic in nature, so we're having a genre problem.  Symphonic rock? Orchestral Prog? How shall we classify ourselves? This why the genre thing drives us nuts!  Any ideas from readers would be greatly appreciated! Feel free to send us a line at: quasar@bubbagroove.com  None-the-less, genre problem or not, we are well on our way to completing our third album. It will be a mixture of the traditional Quasar you've grown to know, with some new elements that hopefully will thrill and surprise the listener!  Tomorrow, I'll start some sneak peeks into new material, hopefully giving you all a taste of what'[s to come.

Prog on!
