Genre: Crossover Prog (Neo Prog)  /  UK

Times Up are a band from South Wales (the land of Magenta and Karnataka) who play a blend of progressive and classic rock. Snow Queen (2012) is their second album, a track from which is featured on Prognosis 6, the CD that accompanies Classic Rock Presents Prog magazine, whose review states: “Their second release is a resplendent, pensive affair steeped in fragments from progressive rock’s formative years, but it still seems relevant to the modern prog-rock movement. The melodies which permeate the album will kindle memories of innovators such as Yes and Genesis, but still capture the distinctly modern direction the genre has taken in recent years.” (www.kinesiscd.com/storeframe1.htm)
