* '''Advent''' ([http://www.adventmusic.net/ www.adventmusic.net]), consisting of Henry Ptak, Alan Benjamin, Mark Ptak, and Drew Siciliano, was created out of a common interest in Gentle Giant. They write and record progressive rock music which draws upon many different influences (anywhere from English and Italian Renaissance music to church motets, from sea chanteys to film scores and such bands as Giant, Genesis and Procol Harum). They also attempt to make vocal work a highlight in the songs as well. | * '''Advent''' ([http://www.adventmusic.net/ www.adventmusic.net]), consisting of Henry Ptak, Alan Benjamin, Mark Ptak, and Drew Siciliano, was created out of a common interest in Gentle Giant.
