I'll have to give it a try. If you like Arena you may also
like Janison Edge. I was listening to them today and their style
reminds me of Arena, except for having a female vocalist instead of
male. Their keyboard sound is especially reminiscent of Arena and
some of the guitar work is too. They aren't that heavy or super-
proggy but they have good melodies and vocals. I haven't paid much
attention to the lyrics.
I have Janison Edge's "The Services of Mary Goode". You can
hear some samples (which are ok but don't do them full justice)
