Electro tribal rock, anyone? If you were preparing your iPod for a trip to the rainforest in the company of Kate Bush, the Pet Shop Boys and Marc Almond, you might want to include a few tracks on there by Drumattica. Dark synth lines topped with the interplay of male/female vocals and a dose of lyrical sassitude should be enough to keep even the most complainey of 80's pop icons from whining too much about the mosquitoes.

Please share what instruments you play or played and to what level you achieved?

I used to play the Double Bass, and achieved Grade 5 standard in the UK. I played for many youth orchestras including the London Schools Concert Orchestra.

Do we actually have any guitar players here?

Sorry if I missed any important genre.

I am not a big fan of rap, but thought I would make my mark in the rap genre discussion board. ::

"Swedish progressive metal titans Opeth, often credited as being forward thinkers who are a genre of one, are proud to announce Watershed as the title of their forthcoming album, due out on Roadrunner Records on June 2nd, 2008. The album, recorded in the band's native Sweden and produced by frontman/guitarist Mikael Akerfeldt and Jens Bogren, is a masterwork that follows the time-honored Opeth tradition; its modern yet timeless, progressive yet paying homage to the sounds of classic rock. Watershed is truly one of those special records that cycles through a variety of moods, speeds and textures, complete with lots of subtleties and nuances of sound. Because of its expansive scope, Watershed is destined to land the album atop many "Best Of" lists. Album opener 'Coil' is a gorgeous acoustic number, featuring local folk vocalist Nathalie Lorichs, while 'Heir Apparent' will knock listeners unconscious with its blunt force metal. Always one to defy the rules, Opeth posits sung vocals over artillery-like blast beats on 'The Lotus Eater', cementing their reputation as innovators and redefiners.
Watershed combines elements of modern metal, prog rock, free jazz and hints of European folk music, all of which come together for a seamless, unique collection of songs that will leave an indelible mark upon all who listen. Watershed is the first Opeth release to feature new guitarist Fredrik Akesson and drummer Martin Axenrot and is the band's second effort for Roadrunner Records. Watershed is the eagerly awaited follow up to 2005's critically acclaimed Ghost Reveries. The complete track listing is as follows: 'Coil', 'Heir Apparent', 'The Lotus Eater', 'Burden', 'Porcelain Heart', 'Hessian Peel' and 'Hex Omega'."

American power metal giants Iced Earth have been confirmed as the headliner for ProgPower USA IX, which returns to Atlanta’s Center Stage on September 26 & 27.
Iced Earth founder, Jon Schaffer had the following to say regarding the festival:”Well, it’s been a long time coming, but things have finally lined up right for us to be able to do Glenn’s festival. It’s truly an honor for Iced Earth to play the ProgPower USA festival. I flew down several years ago to check it out and it is definitely a top notch operation. It’s really a model for the way festivals should be run, good people with integrity make all the difference in any organization, and Glenn and his crew are all that and more. This is something that we’ve wanted to do for a long time and it’s finally going to work out perfectly for our plans in 2008.Part 2 of the “Something Wicked” epic will be out right around this time and it will be a killer celebration! This will be very cool, and a good time will be had by all!We look forward to seeing you there!” I am beyond excited to have America’s premiere metal band on stage at America’s premiere metal festival” said promoter Glenn Harveston. "I may be the promoter, but I’m just as big a fanboy as everyone else in wanting to see them here in Atlanta. I want to personally thank Jon Schaffer for believing in me and the festival."

ProgPower USA IX marks the first confirmed show with returning vocalist Matt Barlow to the group.
Joining Iced Earth at the festival are Florida’s Jon Oliva’s Pain, Poland’s Riverside, Germany’s Iron Savior, Denmark’s Volbeat, Sweden’s Andromeda, Italy’s Elvenking, France’s Spheric Universe Experience, Austria’s Serenity, and Italy’s Pathosray.
The second festival headliner is scheduled to be announced within the next few weeks.
Harveston also has announced a roster change, “I’m afraid that Astral Doors will not be able to make their scheduled appearance. This is 100% my fault as I knew there was a risk involved with booking them so early. I appreciate the professionalism the band has shown and can now announce that they are the first band confirmed for ProgPower USA X. Florida’s Rob Rock has graciously stepped into their former slot.”
Tickets for ProgPower USA IX go on sale March 1st and limited to 900 tickets.
