I propose that we wait a few years before listing, because we lack hindsight and insight for recent albums
Indeed, we may just see a few votes for IQ's latest album out of pure fanboyism, enthusiasm and discovery excitement... .... or we couls already list from 2010 unti 2016

My vote goes to the Neo-Prog band Astra for their second album "The Black Chord". I would have voted for their first album "The Weirding", but that came out in 2009.
 By the way, I'm using the term "Neo-Prog" in its loosest form as a chronological definition before anyone picks me up on that.  Edited by Psychedelic Paul - October 24 2019 at 07:37 |

Psychedelic Paul, as I read that first sentence, I started writing an answer in my head. But then I read your 2nd sentence... ;)
I've only heard The Weirding which I have on vinyl. Really good, I love the production, really thick and heavy.

Astra sound like classic Progressive Rock from the 1970's, which is why I love their music.

Squintaloo - Über Bord! Poil - Brossaklit Accordo dei Contrari - Violato Intanto Bent Knee - Shiny Eyed Babies All Traps on Earth - A Drop of Light Happy Family - Minimal gods Voivod - The Wake Haken - The Mountain Piniol - Bran Coucou Keor - Petriochor Motorpsycho - The Death Defying Unicorn Seven Impale - Contrapasso Pryapisme - Hyperblast Supercollider Opeth - Pale Communion Too early to include any from this year. Though I believe The Pneumatic Transit will stick here. |

I would not claim these to be the best, but instead these are just some of my favourites from what I have heard.
Kosmischer Läufer - The Secret Cosmic Music of the East German Olympic Program Vols 1-4. I love this retro Kosmische. David Bowie - Blackstar (prog related -- if one goes, a great album to go out on) Electric Orange - Vol. 10 Univers Zero - Clivages Art Zoyd - Phase V and Eyecatcher Yolk - Solar Dead Can Dance - Anastasis Guillaume Perret & The Electric Epic - Guillaume Perret & The Electric Epic Homunculus Res - Limiti all’eguaglianza della parte con il tutto Kayo Dot - Coyote Aranis - Roqueforte Amoeba Split - Dance of the Goodbyes Zanov - Virtual Future Gong - I See You The Winstons - Smith far Corner - Risk E-Musikgruppe Lux Ohr - Kometenbahn Minami Deutsch - Minami Deutsch Magma - Félicité Thösz and Zess Setna - Guérison Rational Diet - On Phenomena and Existences Cosmic Ground - III Dungen - Allas Sak Chrome Hoof - Chrome Black Gold Jaga Jazzist - One-Armed Bandit Ut Gret - An Ancestor's Tale Elephant9 - Walk the Nile Bent Knee - Shiny Eyed Babies Constantine - Day of Light Matt Berry - Kill the Wolf and Music for Insomnicacs (not in PA, but I count both as Prog enough to mention) I'm sure I missed various favourites.

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

Out of what you listed Logan I’ve only heard blackstar. If you had to choose one to recommend what would it be.

I think the best recommendations are personalised. What I would recommend depends on the individual's tastes. If I really think about it, then it might not be any of those I listed. That said, without thinking much about what you like, possibly Setna, the Bent Knee, that Dead Can Dance, that Chrome Hoof.... Maybe try Bent Knee's Shiny Eyed Babies and the Chrome Hoof. Or, actually, maybe try Kayo Dot's Coyote. No, don't think so. EDIT: Okay, going with Matt Berry's Kill the Wolf. Or maybe not. My success rate with recommendations is not fantastic (in terms of positive feedback), even in recommendations topics where I'm trying to match as well as possible to what a poster asks for, which is irregardless of my taste (that said, I sometimes find it hard to recommend music that I dislike even if I think they might like it). My tastes tend to be rather off-beat to begin with commonly. EDIT: Should have thought it through more to begin with before posting (I don't like to keep people waiting long), maybe Dungen's Allas Sak. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y01i-h8M04c My personal fave may be Kosmischer Läufer - The Secret Cosmic Music of the East German Olympic Program Vol 3, but I would only recommend it to people into classic Kosmsiche (kinds of classic progressive electronic/ Krautrock). Constantine's Day of Light is another retro one, which I would recommend for those into classic psychedelic folk and rock. One, you might enjoy, did think of it before, but forgot to say is Yolk's Solar or the Winstons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9px6e98ZHvE The Yolk will be my final answer, even if it may be the wrong one.
