I'm currently listening to Moon Safari's The Gettysburg Address. An excellent live album from an excellent band. great symphonic prog with brilliant vocal harmonies.
 I also recommend Riversea's Out Of An Ancient World
it's in the way that you use it

I recommend DEAD CAN DANCE.

They are without any doubt in
My mind, the best Art Rock band I've ever listened to. The style is enveloped with in a new age, ambient/electronic, midevil, middle eastern and gothic sound that will captivate and mystify a lot of seasoned prog listeners.

Albums to get started on would be....

1) IN THE REALM OF A DYING SUN
2) ANASTASIS
3) THE SEPEANTS EGG

What about now :-) any development ?

Agreed,I've just heard this stuff and it is definately prog  rock.Sort of a mixture of anything that was going on back when it was released;symph/hard/folk/psych...a little rough around the edges but good nonetheless.
 
They should be on PA.

Incubus - science (psychedelic alternative metal)

Forgive Durden - razia's shadow (if you like the dear hunter, its basically a musical)

Silverchair - diorama (very orchestral and catchy, but also proggy in its progressions)

^Yeah, I am definitely going to check them out - thanks Jim.
And thank you for a great review. You are still one of the best around these parts my friend. 
I also happen to think your recent Caress of Steel one was a real humdinger, although you seem to think otherwise. Pish posh - have yourself a warm and heartfelt clappy from yours trulyClap

Frank, that is fantastic!  I had the same experience..... thought it was just wonderful.  I'm frankly really surprised more people haven't discovered them.  Hope you get a chance to review them too.  Smile

Doctor Jimmy recommended Mutantes about 30 pages back which I looked for but couldn't find but I did come across


Not the same I'm sure, preview on amazon.  Not so much prog, more psycedelic.

4%20stars A Revelation.

Ever had one of those?

I had a few during my life; most occurred during dark, depressing or desperate times; others happened while listening to specific albums.

One such album was this one.



For PA rating purposes: 4.5-4.9 stars. A must have!
 
 


U Totem always reminds me of this movie:

I would think a must for everyone here.

It must have been released before, because I have it on my hard drive (and it's been there for a while).

Hey how's it going? I'm new to this forum and wanted to start with this recommendation :)
This is my band, we're from Costa Rica!
It's a really cool prog/rock/metal band, with really diverse feelings and textures and awesome instrumental and vocal parts. The band has been around since 2006 and has 3 studio albums.



Here are the 2 released videoclips that are a sequence which is pretty cool for the latest album (The Book of Lost Words), the songs are "Disconnected" and "Days Like Eternity" :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9huQTvEtL4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47XnZU3L898

Even bassist Michael Manring is a guest musician on one of the songs called "River", here's a video of him recording a solo on that song, and I'll post the song in the next video...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-mrwqxJXcs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjpyUgITOwM

My favourite songs in the latest album are Transcendence, State of Awareness and Louder than the Sun if you're interested in checking out some more...

Even the art and concept is great! The website:
http://www.timesforgottencr.com
http://www.facebook.com/timesforgotten
and all the other social sites... plus the music is available online on pretty much all the usual sites (amazon, itunes, bandcamp, cdbaby, etc)

So what do you think?

Cheers!
