”Aetas Suite” is a track from many years ago that started a multi-national, cross-Atlantic collaboration with John Beasley and Ron Wahle along with my bandmate from even further back, Tom Kraus. The piece is very “piano” centric but evolved into something more with the help and contributions of the other players. The song is about aging and I have moved a few categories to the right in the cover art over the years!
Jeremy Cubert - Piano, Chapman Stick bass guitar, Organ and solo synths
John Beagley - vocals, synths, programming
Tom Kraus - Nylon and steel string acoustic guitars
Ronald Wahle - Drums and electric guitars
Written by FORMATIV. Mixed and produced by John Beagley.

Is that you on the right with the stick? 
I think the vocals bear more than a passing resemblance to Jon Anderson. In fact the song seems to feature many elements reminiscent of late '70s or early '80s Yes, so your "Throwback Prog Rock" label seems to be justified and accurate. There are quite a few changes during the course of the song which work seamlessly, and conjure the glory years of Prog. Great instrumentation, and the mix/production is very good, especially considering the fairly dense instrumentation and arrangement.
Good work
