He's only 35, so that's not it. My impression of the history here is that he was a person that embraced prog when many of us (including me) had stopped listening to prog. He carried the torch and as such has established himself as a tour de force in this area. A subject matter expert if you will.

If you follow some of the discussions on progarchives, there were some interesting posts of people referring to the acts of the early 70s that pioneered prog as dinosaur bands, implying the notion of extinction. The renaissance (pun intended) of prog in recent years is very interesting to me, including a lot of excellent music that has surfaced in the past few, and a reason I embrace AM.
