Is it too late to enter?? I would really like to have a go at this. I have spring break all next week and need something to do.

Ixox - The river flows -> Interesting vocal sound. I like the instrumentation, nice changes, very interesting piece overall.

Laguna Rising - Pale Dragon Returns -> Covers a lot of ground, sound-wise. I like the flute early on.

From the original submission thread post by Scoops:

So you've got a little over a week to go to it. Should fill out your spring break nicely.

mikewelch7 - Swallowed the Mountain -> Nice-sounding track. A few points that might be worth considering though:
1) according to the timer on the Myspace player, the track goes for over 3 minutes. Contest max is a reasonably-strict 2 minutes.
2) submission should include a direct link to an mp3 file; embedded links on websites that require flash players aren't quite the same. A lot of voters won't end up hearing it as they listen primarily through Markleford Radio, which only picks up directly-linked mp3s (or oggs).

Scoops' first post in the submission thread covers all of the details.

Ok then Ill try to go for it. Are vocals necessary? because I can't sing whatsoever...
I guess I should go listen to some prog rock first, eh? I've never even listened to any esides Rush...

You should definitely sing because A) prog rockers can't sing anyways and B) i'm sure you sound a lot better than most here.

Kara_Tribute_to_Zelda - Nice point/counterpoint - reminded me of early Winter Consort

Thanks for the review

Most of the entries this month are instrumentals, it seems.

Why let the pre-existing examples of the genre get in the way? In the words of a great music producer, "Just wing that mother."

Great sentiments but -- I'm afraid this is another one of those months where you're going to hear "Well, I didn't vote for it because it's not prog rock in my definition..."

I'm realy curious how prog rock sounds, played on a ukulele...

Maybe we'll find out within a week.
Poor Oddbods must be suffering like never before

; but we will be suffering when he wins this month, too !

...mmm, what about death metal on ukulele and spoons...

...Trash-uku...

Less funny : now I have to fix my car, while babysitting,

You bet -- if ANYONE wins this month it will be Finger with his 'Electrik Uke' by gawd...

They're probably out in the garden tending to the 'weeds' Max!!!

Quick get out there and stop them before they ruin the entire summer crop!!!

...at least try to get them to save some for me...

Hoho,

well, we're still alive and the meal was great...the only problem was the foggy air in Max' house. He can't put his fingers away from these mighty porros

...Liqih could hardly find his glasses again and i was casio-blind for a while..... .

Oh I know that. Normally I like to vote for things that match the theme well that I also personally enjoy. With a prog rock theme, though, those two elements are in opposition most of the time. As a result, actually being 'proggy' is the less important of the factors for me, and matching the theme won't get as much attention from me as it normally would.
