[size=12][color=#ccff00]Hey Everybody,

I just found something new - to me at least! I am not all that knowledgeable on the "current definition" of Prog Rock, yet I know that alot of the stuff I was listening to in the 70's was prog rock, i.e Yes, Rick Wakeman, Genesis,, and ELP.

Well, whilst I was browsing MySpace (I would HIGHLY recommend checking out the Music Section!), I came across an artist whose music is really good, and in my opinion, is going somewhere (sorry, maybe he is already well-known in the UK, but as I am in the U.S, I don't know).

His name is Aaron Emerson and he is considered, Ambient/Classical. On his myspace page, he has a choice of 4 tracks that he has written, which you can play. These include,  "Ring" which is a brilliant piano piece; Jump (my favorite) sounds prog rockish to me! - Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it is mighty fine and I would HIGHLY recommend  listening to it! - According to the info, Aaron collaborated with Gary O'Brien, who is the vocalist in Lucho (another worthy group to check out on [url]http://www.myspace.com/luchomusic[/url]if you don't already know them); Overdrive sounds very new age/ambient with a great beat, low-key soothing quality, and finally, The Bass Track, an upbeat melody again, classified more in the ambient genre.

Anyway, just thought I would share a new "find" of mine, whilst exploring the super highway called the Internet! TG for technology!
Aaron's website, btw,  is [url] http://www.myspace.com/mraaronemerson[/url]. Check it out.

And yes yes yes, Aaron is the son of the briliant keyboardist, and a member of one of my favorite groups of all time, Keith Emerson of ELP! Now how cool is that????????

I think I can sum things up like this, "Like father, like son"! Enjoy..

Ok, I will assume that is the site belongs to his wife,  Jo, and son, Ethan. Thanks for the link and info, Paul

BTW, did you check out Aaron's music? If so, what did you think?
