So far. I am leaving open slots for the rest of the year and open to recommendations or new released before years end, so I have four open slots

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Given that buckethead will in all likelihood release more than 50 albums this year, i'm curious as to how you chose that one. I used to listen to a lot of buckethead but since he seems to have gone independent or something i just can't keep up with the sheer volume of music. Is there any indication anywhere of what the good ones are?
Oh, and out of these, Steve Rothery's Ghost's of Pripyat is my favourite, i could listen to his guitar playing forever.

Of the ones I know, Electric Orange is easily the class of that field.

Good surprise to know that Sarah McLachlan made progressive music too, quite a long ago I knew only some of her pop music that she played on piano, can recall by name only Angel, beautiful style btw. Think it's gonna be interesting to check her progressive works. From the list I can't vote because I knew only the good Curved Air - North Star.

Swans... I just discovered the band myself in the past fortnight, and their latest album blew my shoes, socks and trousers up to the knee clean off.

Of your choices, Perfect Beings, To Be Kind, Regenerator 3017 and Hitchhiking To Byzantium were the really big standouts to me this year.
As for a recommendation, I can't recommend Seven Impale's City of The Sun enough. Check it out if you can.

Seven Impale's album is indeed one the year's best releases  . I also second your mention of Djam Karet's Regenerator 3017 (which I reviewed some time ago on my blog). Out of this list, I voted for Knifeworld. Some personal recommendations: Ut Gret - Ancestor's Tale (my album of the year so far) Moraine - Groundswell MoeTar - Entropy of the Century Accordo dei Contrari - AdC Matt Stevens - Lucid Dean Watson - Fantasizer Susan Clynes - Life Is... Necromonkey - A Glimpse of Possible Endings

Steve Rothery, The Ghosts of Pripyat.

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.
