Yes, YSMA is a perfect band for the progressive label. This instrumental five-piece last released a good album called "Vagrant", an album that wandered a bit too much, as I felt the band wasn't very sure or definite in their compositions. They're back now, however, with a wonderful album called "Fourth Wall", which has surprised me in many ways. Gone are the nomadic melodies that never seem to latch onto greatness, and in has come a mature, purposeful composition style that is a delight to hear

The fourth wall is a performance convention in which an invisible, imagined wall separates actors from the audience. While the audience can see through this "wall", the convention assumes, the actors act as if they cannot. From the 16th century onwards, the rise of illusionism in staging practices, which culminated in the realism and naturalism of the theatre of the 19th century, led to the development of the fourth wall concept.

The fourth wall is a term used to describe the imaginary wall between the audience and the stage, or in this case the player and the video game. The term derives from a movie or television set having three walls; the fourth wall is the camera. In effect, it is the separation of the real and the imagined. The term "fourth wall" was first used in theater, where actors would acknowledge the presence of the audience through actions or speech

Ysma is an instrumental progressive rock band from Münster, Germany. Founded by guitarist Daniel Kluger and former bass player Torge Dellert (studying psychology together) in 2009, Fabian Schroer (guitar) and Jens Milo (drums) went on to join the band. The quartet combines atmospheric elements and progressive rock/metal influences, always focussing on the ambience of a song as well as unconventional rhythms and parts out of the ordinary. Ysma’s style of instrumental songwriting therefore incorporates frequent dynamic changes both within and between songs as a means of coming to rest, of breathing in a musical manner. Inspiration and influence for this approach derives from listening to bands like Opeth, Tool and Porcupine Tree as well as early, classic prog bands like King Crimson and Rush.
