I was 23 when we recorded this at Trod Nossel . It was so exciting especially the first time I heard one of our songs on college radio.

[@pkats9093]

Just listened to the album and wanted to say congrats. Some great music! Is there anything else out there? Or a one and done?

Holy Cats!!!! After just one listen, MAN this is excellent!!! Fantastic!!!! I am 61, and would’ve been 22/23 when this was originally released in 1981, and I know without a shadow of a doubt that if I had heard this back then... I would have gone nuts trying to find more! Which I STILL will do right now! (May 7 2020). THANKS FOR POSTING THIS!!!!!

[@davidlong1786]

Much better than most prog rock albums from that era and even now.

[@danielhresko4900]

Wait...are you 61? The other comment with the exact same text says you are 45. Sock puppet much?

What an album !!!! Prog rock at its best !!! Instrumental, magical, mysterious, obscure.... Well done Holding Pattern !!!!!!!!!!!

Never heard. Dig it! Great pick! Just close our eyes and travel... Greetings from Brazil!

[@mikereiss4216]

Very brave to record and release an album like this in 1981.

[@Olegzyan]

yep! new wave and pop ruled then! prog was out of date. even Genesis changed their style and went pop.

[@Novha68]

Im very Happy to listen you again. In these sad periodo, music Will give to US more Hope

[@gregorallnight371]

Another little known group of top notch amazing musicians..very impressive and one of the best of the many prog jazz fusion bands to ever play...Honor Before Glory has a Genesis vibe from the Wind and Wuthering LP...Jigsaw Dream and Out of the Tunnels are incredible works also...wow,what an absolutely fantastic group of great,creative musicians and writers...cheers!

Hahaha, oh, Yota-09, you shouldn't worry .... thanks for the support, I've always relied on friends like you so I can move on, sorry for the delayed response but .... it's still I still have some problems with which I do not want to engage you naturally. Thank you one more time! We are the rock forever!

[@josiahprofenno4136]

This here, all the men and women in the comment section, is a dedicated group of listeners.

[@AnthonyESacco]

And I, a mere human who lives for and LOVES music, applaud you all, and wish there was a way I could buy you all a drink, or a responsible substitute, and talk about, and listen to, music together for all our days... Life loving music can be a lonesome pursuit....so I wish you ALL great joy, health and all else in your lives.

Wow, I haven't been anywhere, the good music is always there, even without me. However, I have to thank you for the exceptional support that makes me look for good progressive music more and more, even though it's getting harder! Thanks again!

Interesting band! Reminds me Happy the Man, mainly for synth sounds.

[@quikerenher9746]

Exact my friend! I feel the same, it's glory I recommended"Jean Luc Prat, Masal" is similar like this and Happy the man.

There's something wrong. I keep hitting the thumbs up over and over but it's only counting one.

[@levimcglinchey5843]

When I first listened to this album it was very recently uploaded so had no views, now a year later it still has very few views and by golly that's upsetting. This album is *SUPERB.*

[@andrenascimento7940]

Dude, it's so impressive. I don't knew this group and now i'm a fan. Sensational lines of bass and keyboards, an accurate drums.

[@josephrohrbach1588]

Hey there Prog Line! Lovely post btw, the intro's giving me good auspices... Edit: in more detail, it reminds me of Happy The Man (as I believe another commenter has said) and NOA's Tri-logic, which I found through Prog Line, funnily enough!

[@jacekkowalczyk7676]

Good music for ever for me ...thanks man

Un peu d'Happy The Man, un peu de Genesis, un soupçon de Camel... c'est la fête. Très bel album.👍

I love this channel!!!

[@juamachin]

Love the resemblance to Gnidrolog's Lady Lake's cover art.

[@jason698]

I listen to a lot of progressive bands that never made it big and honestly a lot of them are not that memorable. This record on the other hand is outstanding. I highly recommend it.

[@levimcglinchey5843]

Long time no see! Really enjoyed that, definitely seeking out more

[@ProgLine]

Thanks for the support, buddy! I'm trying to find new gold stones, but it's getting harder! And I am glad to see such strong support from all of you! Thx!

[@massimomarchesin8708]

Un album di così breve durata ADDIRITTURA meno di mezz'ora mi è capitato pochissime volte di ascoltarlo es il gruppo degli Odeja italiani di quasi fine 80 realizzarono un album che non passava i 25 minuti di durata !!!!! Quindi questi più che albums bisognerebbe considerarli MINI Albums !!!!! Comunque al di là della durata l'importante è sempre la musica che è contenuta nel disco E sia nel caso di questo album e sia nel caso degli Odeja italiani la musica è buona !!!! Questi Holding Pattern non li conoscevo affatto !!!!! Piacevole scoperta!!! Tante tastiere come si conviene ad un gruppo progrock sinfonico !!!!! Hammond mellotron synths etc !!!! Qualcosa di vagamente yes / Camel !!!!! Comunque promossi !!!!!!!

Nice album TY

[@mhndev]

Glad to have u back here again ProgLine, thanks so much for the uploading. As many pointed already this sounds a bit like Happy the Man, and to introduce other references it also reminds me to Skywhale.

not bad. not bad at all! quite enjoyable prog. many good music influences can be traced on this album.

The "Out of the Tunnels" intro sounds like the soundtrack for a Zelda dungeon.

I will echo the other commentors when I say...it's great to have you back. Was starting to wonder...I'm sure it's harder to find prog gems after you have already posted so many. I hope you are doing well and keeping safe.

Unbelievable Haunting song. Goosebumps all over. Feels like Aliens are coming. Magical. One of the Best private prog albums i,ve ever heard.

[@klaasbil8459]

23:20 and onwards: this sounds very much like John McLaughlin & Mahavishnu Orchestra. (Or the other way around.)

[@EduardAntoniu]

Not the other way around. Meeting of the Spirits predates this by ~10 years.

Ça faisait longtemps que nous n'AVIONs pas eu de nouvelles de toi, Prog Line! Comme dirait tout le monde... J'entends Happy The Man... Réédite: L'album en générale fait énormément Happy The Man, mais... Honor Before Glory fait très Genesis 1976-78 Out of the Tunnels: Le début de cette track est malade!!! L'album est débile un point c'est tout!

Творчество это Бог. Когда человек творит, он Человек. Миллиард раз кушал всякие пирожки с пельменями, в том числе, необыкновенные. Но вкуснее, чем бабушкины и мамины, мне не попадались. Thijs Van Leer, Allan Holdsworth, Frank Zappa, Joe Zawinul, Kristian Vander, Gino Vannelli, Chick Corea, Gergo Borlai и ещё человек сто-сто пятьдесят, включая Пола МакКартни. Без обид.
