I looked over my 2015 album purchases and noticed I only have one prog album released this year (I've bought a couple 2013 and 2014 albums, though): La barque ailée by Breton symphonic rock band Seven Reizh, influenced by Genesis, Camel, Pink Floyd, Yes, and Crimson (among others).
I heartily recommend it to those not averse to world music influences, string accompaniment, and the gentler side of prog. As for other 2015 releases, I plan on buying Jarre's upcoming Electronica 1: The Time Machine and Sequentia Legenda's Schulze-influenced Blue Dream (which I actually discovered on PA a few days ago). |

I got the Turzi. Really an excellent album! So much good music still coming out of France.

Somewhere between Krautrock, Pharoah Sanders, Don Cherry, electronic drone and Sufi music you'll find the new Danish band Shiggajon. I for one am dying to get a little more intimate with this crab.

CHON-Grow
I saw them with The Dear Hunter recently. The Dear Hunter seem to get a great deal more appreciation, but really bored me out of the club after hearing CHON's set.

Used up a good chunk of my morning sniffing out new prog releases - of which Perfect Beings' new album definitely was the most interesting. Tried out The Dear Hunter's new one as well and felt it sounded like a band on autopilot.
Still to hear the horror soundtrack to Cub by Steve Moore. |

^Hmm, I'm really liking the new Dear Hunter. But its my first experience with them, so I guess I can't dispute the "auto-pilot" comment...

I got into them around the time of their second album simply named Act ll, which is almost as good as their debut (which I still find to be their best), but I would love to see them go further with their sound. Granted, they did do a short pop-rock stint with their last outing Migrant, but apart from that lone cowboy it has pretty much been business as usual regarding their sound. |

Yeah, sounds surprisingly vitalic. Pretty good I'd say.

Love those guys a lot. I was so stoked to see they've already released a new album. |

New additions to the temple of 2015 include: Eldberg - Par Er Heimur Hugans* (This has been a bit of a slow burner but ultimately proving itself very potent on subsequent listens. Folks into old school organ prog yet with a gifted song-writer's touch should seek out this baby right about now. I even love the Icelandic vocals.) Maat Lander - The Birth Of Maat's Galaxy* (The brothers Fedotov responsible for guitars and drums in Russian psych band Vespero fly into new wobbly and floating sonic territories. Krautrock for the new millennium!) Zombi - Shape Shift* (Brilliant "come back" album from Atlanta's best kept secret. I love the return to a rockier template a la Spirit Animal. Fave track: Siberia ll.) Steve Moore - Cub* (I can totally see how this would work wonders in a horror movie, but I am not overly convinced of it's ability to stand alone as a music album. Still, there is something here. Needs more spins.) Quantum Fantay - Dancing In Limbo* (The Belgians outdo The Ozrics (if only by a smidgen) on their best album since Ugisiunsi. Psychedelic dub prog to scoot your mind out of your brain.)
