The most important adjective is “powerful”. Everything oozes power. The compositions, the sound effects, the arrangements, the use of dynamics in mixing; everything has received a large dose of attention, creating an epic sound.

“We must be doing something right because people keep coming back!” laughs DPRP co-founder Jerry van Kooten. It was the Dutch computer programmer-turned reviewer’s idea that led to the creation of one of the longest running prog websites.

He says: “It’s no longer about spreading the information because that is happening all over the internet so right we’re focusing on telling people about new releases. ~ excerpt from Prog Magazine January 25, 2108
