Symphonic Prog with neoprog touch

Could u suggest me some good symphonic prog band with a modern approach with some etnic element and much melodic like neoprogressive. No band organ oriented or with vintage sound; although i can tollerate the mellotron or analog moog

No Flower king, Anglagard, Transatlantic, Kaipa, or Spock Beard

I like the symphonic band of the '80:

Asia Minor
Anyone Daughter
Solaris

And some of the '90 like:

Drama
Apocalypse

Originally posted by rdtprog When you mean by ethnic, you mean other than occidental people. It's easy to find a little ethnic sound in some rock music band, but to a new prog band with melody and neo prog sound, that's much harder. I can only think in some bands like Collage, Subterra or Quidam that play some prog rock that is typical to the country they came from.

I looking for Symphonic bands, not neoprog bands. They should be stay in symphonic category, so i take off the ethnic feature to be much easy the search.

For example a band that i like much is Clearlight, although it came from the middle 70. They haven't that old sound...and sound more modern!!!

This one sounds great,  maybe it doesn't have a modern sound, but there's that ethnic sound.

Symphonic prog with neo-prog influence? Nexus, Magenta and Citizen Cain. It doesn't get much better than that.

Coda, especially with their first album "Sounds Of Passion".

La Locanda Delle Fatte's "Forse Le Lucciole Non Si Amano Piu" for me quite represents the "missing link" between Symphonic and Neo, great album if you don't mind lyrics in italian.
