Founded in 2003 by Andy Tillison and some of his progressive rock buddies, The Tangent is one of the most respected Neo Prog
bands today.The first album, The Music That Died Alone, which was released in 2003, was a highly successful album and was
signed to major prog labelInside Out. It showed the band using many insturments and exploring progressive rock with a more
jazzy feel, adding flutes, saxaphones andusing piano rather than guitar as the primary lead insturment. The second effort, The
World That We Drive Through and their third effort, A PlaceIn the Queue, were written mostly by Tillison whereas the first album
was more collaborative. The Tangent will surely be a band to look out forin the future as they are ever growing and ever more
interesting.
