Hello, fellows!

Id like to listen to some "Powe Symphonic Prog" albums, by witch I would define in sound like Transatlantic, Spock´s Beard, Yes and other artists that combines heaviness with symphonic approuch.

Thx in advance!

what I regard as 'Power Symphonic Prog' is these

Presto Ballet (any of the last 3 albums)
Legend - Spirit (this is incorrectly filed under 'neo' on PA)
Ayreon - The Theory Of Everything

Transatlantic can be heavy because of Portnoy although I prefer the last two Flower Kings albums which have a definite edge to my ears

The Tangent - A Place in the Queue

Or anything really. Their first two albums have a lot of fans.

Quatermass is more on the organ lead side of prog although its very good. Beggar's Opera debut blows it out the water though (imo)

If we are going very heavy modern prog I would suggest Gerard - Live In Marseilles. Its basically an assault on your ears.

Too original and way too proggy for most folks these days! Besides, that guy needs some Dream Theater and Iron Maiden, not Quatermass
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

That's why I noted "You didn't say how powerful". Beggar's Opera is certainly one up on Quartermas.

As a Gerard fan, that's a stellar live record. Recommendation seconded. Also Social Tension's MacBethia.
 
Slightly less heavy but no less bombastic would be something like Nuova Era's Il Passo del Soldato.

Don't know if these early '90 releases are even still available but I'd go for:

Golgotha : "Symphony in Extremis" & "Unmaker of Worlds"
Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987

I would also add their latest album, the marvellous To Shatter All Accord (2011). The 25-minute epic "Rogue" is incredible, but all the five tracks on this album are masterpieces.
