Re: "New Prog," the genre - A MUST READ
Wow. I'm shocked how up in arms ya'll are that people are citing Yes and Floyd as influences. Would you rather they cite The Clash and the Sex Pistols? Do you WANT rehashed prog? Don't you want something new?
Volta is fresh baby! Psych-era Floyd meets Santana's jams meets hardcore meets electronica-programming. That's what I mean by new influences - they're pulling in hardcore and electronics as well as more traditional prog influences. Truly new. Not the same old InsideOut and Kinesis cloners.
