Kudos to Gary for a thorough and comprehensive delving into the grand sphere of music with thoughtful, comprehensive and thorough reviews. Highly recommended (of
course the fact he reviewed VIRTUALITY this issue could have some bearing on my plug, but as an independent musician, I likewise toss the proverbial PR bone to my
fellow self-financed artistic brothers and sisters, Gary being one of them, and his web zine.).
C;aio!

Yes, It is finally online after nearly 6 months of seeking ways to host it to
a new domain. To Epigram Encyclopedia of Progressive and Experimental Metal
resides at:
It is open to online contributions and corrections since it was always
working that way. But even now, it needs a long way up to be concidered
complete i.e. cover everything.
Note: If you keep a long list of experimental/progressive metal bands that
includes at least some overall reviews on the bands, and you are willing to
merge your information with the Encyclopedia, don't worry about the online
forms, please contact me to arrange the merging.
Enjoy,

ps. btw, The Prog Musicians Forum is full of life since the time it reopened
three days ago. Visit it at www0.org/musicians if you're looking for
musicians or your band needs a drummer :o) And btw, feel free to contribute
for your band on the encyclopedia's pages, even if your band is on early
state.

This shouldn't really be a surprise. Japanese RPGs are one of the
few outlets left where progressive still flourishes, mostly
in the form of symphonic rock. Very few soundtracks get extremely
technical, but most will sneak a song or two on. "Dancing Mad"
from Final Fantasy VI is probably the most famous (can I say that?)
example of this.
Probably the most recent videogame with a prog-heavy soundtrack
would be Valkyrie Profile, by Motoi Sakuraba. The game itself
has several proggish tunes used as background music for various
levels. There are a pair of arranged CDs that better show off
his skills as a straightforward rocker, but they're expensive
and tough to locate.
