Modern keyboard oriented prog

Hi! I am currently in the process of discovering a lot of prog at once, and I'm still pretty new to the genre. My interest currently lies in the post 2000s era of prog, but I've still listened to some of the classics from the 70s.

I am very interested in discovering some new prog where the main focus are the keyboards. I am aware of artists like Neal Morse, The Tangent, and Glass Hammer, which I really enjoy. I would very much appreciate some pointers to other bands and artists in this vein!

If you have no objections to vocals in languages other than English (some people do), I'd recommend Italian band Il Tempio delle Clessidre, whose keyboardist and main composer is a lovely, classically-trained young lady by the name of Elisa Montaldo. Here's a link to their website, which is also in English: http://www.iltempiodelleclessidre.com/

NightShade wrote: By the way, in "Welcome To The Machine" by Pink Floyd, is that a moog solo around 2:50? I'm asking just to make certain I know what a moog sounds like. Some people have said that's a moog synth, so I thought here would be the perfect place to get that confirmed.

That is a MiniMoog on that song. Some of the non-musical sound fx parts are done on the VCS3 synth.

Renaissance is a band with a great keyboardist who figures largely in the songs and arrangements. They are a symphonic prog band with a sweeping aesthetic that be just the thing you're looking for. I recommend Ashes Are Burning.
