Do you feel overwhelmed by amount of prog?

Yes, actually I do. In South Africa Spotify is not available and I am not an "illegal" downloader, but compared to when I started getting into Prog, I actually can now afford to buy more or less all the music I want & there are suddenly tons and tons of new bands popping up constantly on the Prog circuit as well as having the WWW as information portal, one is exposed to bands one would otherwise never heard off.  When I open PA and look at the new reviews, I must admit most of the bands I have never heard off. Just now looking on front page of PA: Swans? Krokofant? Arcabuz? Unreal City? Never heard of those. As a coping strategy against this flood of releases I kind of mostly stick to bands I know and like and mostly ignore all those names that don't mean a thing to me. Might sound narrow minded, but honestly  I got so  much music in my collection that I anyway don't really have enough time to properly listen to it. And I also listen to other music except Prog which makes the time available for all those releases even more limited.
