My contention is that they are not obscure (your words), 700,000 sales across the UK & USA means they are not obscure.

I don't believe that they are a household name in the US and Canada, but they are certainly more popular than I thought they were.

Certainly don't have 'household' recognition, they're not Taylor Swift or Garth Brooks (thank god)

Elephant 9 should be much more universally loved imo. Absolutely massive talent and released some great albums that recall the golden era of prog (but don't copy!) but no ones talk about them.
Wolf People is another band that given me great pleasure but barely get a mention around here. Very strange indeed.

I do think 70s prog is unique, just like 60s/70s Xian Psych is unique. There is nothing like it or close to it. I go to classical music or my own or just explore when I want more good music.

Indeed it seems a bit frustrating, for indeed it doesn't seem likely that much of these bands will make a lasting impact. Yet I myself have to confess that, even though I do have found some amount of prog music to love from the last decade, usually when I go back to the music I already know and love, I go back to the 70's bands, or else, to the 90's / 00's ones (mostly prog metal), but not so easily do I go for the newer ones.
