Brand new Advent interview (featuring all five members)

Posted on May 1, 2023May 1, 2023 By Alan

We had such a blast talking with Frank Long yesterday, covering many different music-related topics including backgrounds, connections, and even spontaneously tackling the infamous “What is prog?” question. All five of us learned more about each other as well (something that doesn’t happen too often). A huge thank-you to Frank for a most engaging discussion that we hope you’ll enjoy as well!

Great new fan videos of our Gentle Giant tribute tracks

Posted on March 7, 2023March 7, 2023 By Alan

We want to extend a most sincere and heartfelt thank-you to Frank Long for putting together two fantastic videos for both of Advent’s Gentle Giant tribute recordings from the mid-1990s. Frank’s latest offering (above) features the final mix of our “Experience/For Nobody” medley that had never been released until Alan remastered the track just a couple of years ago. Several months earlier, Frank also published the following video for our “BITB” tribute offering as well.

We sincerely hope you enjoy these blasts from the past, accompanied with the wonderful new visual accompaniment courtesy of Frank.
