Progressive rock, also known as prog rock or prog, is a rock music subgenre that originated in the United Kingdom, with further developments in Germany, Italy, and France, throughout the mid-to-late 1960s and 1970s. It developed from psychedelic rock and originated, similarly to art rock, as an attempt to give greater artistic weight and credibility to rock music.

Drama – Una Segunda Oportunidad (2012)

DRAMA is a young band from Uruguay who plays a lyrical progressive rock based on symphonic keyboards plus melodic guitar, with good Spanish-language vocals. They possess something much more valuable: a cool air and vigorous talent, inside the spectrum progressive Latin American. It sounds very South American to me.

Chris – City Of Light (2012)

On this, his 3rd solo album, we again meet a different side of the highly talented multi instrumentalist, vocalist and composer Christiaan Bruin. On his debut album he, in a proggified way, he leaned influences from 60’s with the most obvious being The Beatles and The Beach Boys. On the follow-up, Making Sense, we got much more of 70’s Genesis and 80’s IQ into the mix and now, with the new one we get a contemporary post prog sounding album (with a slight Genesis feel to it here and there). But…whatever style he fronts it has a distinct “Chris style” regarding the sound and compositions.
