As a critical listener I would like to post a message about a local Richmond VA., band that is extraordinary in both composition as well as arranging recording and instrumental prowess. The band is called "Kinetic Element" and is headed up by Mr. Mike Visaggio (who hails from N.Y.C.). Mike is in the Classic Prog mode of Keyboardists who are able to write compositions and give note perfect performances of them with tremendous facility as a Keyboard player and with wonderful compositional concepts. The band is well rounded and capable in every department. With Michael Murray, drums and backing vocals; Tony D'Amato, bass; Todd Russell, guitar. You can get a listen to "Kinetic Element" at
http://www.myspace.com/kineticelement on myspace. You won't be disappointed and the new "Tour de Force" album "Powered by Light Suite" will be out this August as I understand. For those who are friends and fans of Classic Prog music this is a must listen, must have album. Hope You enjoy as much as I do. - Prodigalxon
