31 Jul 2011

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 30 January 2004 Cryptic Vision, a Sarasota, Florida-based, original progressive rock band has been signed to Progrock Records of Southern California. Their style is accessible and unique with a strong appeal for fans of artists like Kansas, Saga, Rush and Echolyn. Their debut CD "Moments Of Clarity" was written and performed by the nucleus of Rick Duncan, Todd Plant and Robert Van Dyne, who have been working together on various projects since the late 80's. The album also includes special guest violinist David Ragsdale from Kansas on a number of tracks. The music is passionate and sweeping with great vocal harmonies “Well, it's official! Cryptic Vision is now a Progrock Records Artist. We couldn't be happier with our decision.”, said Rick Duncan, multi-instrumentalist/songwriter for the band. “Shawn and Jerry impressed us with their professionalism and their vision for PRR. They have a true appreciation for prog and they are interested in promoting good music, not just making a quick buck. They are much more fair with the artist's royalties than any other label we've approached.” “One of the things that was really important to us was the level of quality of the other artists on the label. After checking the roster of bands they had already, (Frameshift, Little Atlas, Man On Fire, Alias Eye, Chain, etc.) we liked what we heard and decided that PRR would be right for us. They're well connected in the progrock community and they've already help create a buzz for our debut "Moments of Clarity." The other thing that appealed to us was the family like atmosphere at PRR.”, continued Duncan. “We talked with both Shawn and Jerry a lot in the last few weeks and we really got the sense that they do what they do for the love of music. Thanks Shawn and Jerry, we’re happy to be in the Progrock Records family.” Jerry George and Shawn Gordon (A&R Director and President, respectively) from ProgRock Records jumped at the chance to sign Cryptic Vision as one of their growing list of fantastic artists. “I am really digging this music. So many different styles wrapped together in a inspiring but well done package. Cryptic Vision has what it takes to get noticed in today's fast developing prog scene.”, said Jerry George, A&R director for the upstart label. “This was one of those few CD’s I get that I liked within moments of popping it in to the player, I’m really pleased to have Cryptic Vision as part of our family”, said Shawn Gordon, President of ProgRrock Records.
