=-> Quoting Chris Smith to Martin Ridgley:
 CS> I'll vouch for the new Rush album being very progressive.  Lifeson's
 CS> guitar work has added quite a few new progressive quirks; likewise for
 CS> Lee's keys and bass.  Peart's lyrics and skin-pounding are still in 
 CS> top form.
 
   Cool.  I'm going to have to make a point of hearing that one sometime 
 soon.  
 CS> Gabriel is definitely in the prog-rock area, as his backing
 CS> percussions have used African rhythms extensively in progressing rock
 CS> backbeats to more than what a typical drum set or drum machine can do.
   As well as a lot of the instrumental textures he uses....
 CS> Kate Bush also fits in prog-rock quite well, especially given her
 CS> extensive collaborations with some of the best in prog-rock:  Gabriel,
 CS> Andrew Powell, Stuart Elliott, John Giblin, Gary Brooker, and even a
 CS> prog-rock tune with TAFKAP.
 
   Yeah, she's always had good people with her.  It's not exactly PROG, but
 it is progressive!  ;-)
 
    Cheers,
             Martin
