    Also Ki:Theory from Richmond VA and Dominik Eulberg, a DJ/German national park ranger. No doubt. "Diorama" is one of his best albums.

    Orbit DVD…Good call on the RUSH reference. They were ahead of the game back in the 70's, as many prog-rock bands were with the use of Moog's "synth-pedals" to create atmospheric sounds with their music. Genesis, YES, King Crimson, etc. Great bands that pushed the envelope, musically.
    Miss those days!
