Very good calls here;

Rick Wakeman's "Six Wives of Henry the VIII", and then
perhaps "Criminal Record". Focus's "Hamburger Concerto".
And I agree with Mike Oldfield too, the first 4 albums.
"I always say that it’s about breaking the rules. But the secret of breaking rules in a way that works is understanding what the rules are in the first place". Rick Wakeman

Il 16 marzo Lucio Manca (bassista di Solid Vision e Dominici) presenta il primo disco da solista "Everybody Needs An Angel", con l'etichetta austriaca NoiseHead Records. Si tratta di un concept album STRUMENTALE di 11 tracce, è la storia di una madre, Elizabeth, che ha dedicato la sua vita al suo figlio Lucien, prematuramente morto di cancro nel 2011, all'età di 7 anni.
La disperazione e il tormento per la perdita del suo bimbo ha portato Elisabetta a registrare ogni minuto dei suoi giorni dalla sua morte in poi, con il metodo di registrazione metafonica su nastro - l'ascolto di suoni o di voci provenienti da fuori della nostra dimensione terrena. Il suo scopo era quello di vivere ogni momento delle sue ore nella speranza di ricevere anche solo un piccolo segnale dal suo bambino attraverso la registrazione.
Solo dopo 11 anni disperati, Elizabeth poteva sentire la voce rassicurante di Lucien con un messaggio pieno d'amore:
"Mamma, sto bene".


Di seguito il video ufficiale del brano SCORCHED EARTH:

Hi,
 
Just to be cross ... I want to add "Return to Forever", so some folks can have an idea of what progressive and creative is really all about ... some of the stuff here is just scales by comparison!
 
Xang -- their first album is excellent instrumental rock music.
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Birds and Buildings

Hiromi Uehara's Time Control

Erotic Cakes by Guthrie Govan

Jazz fusion and not prog but a recent discovery I made which resulted in an instant buy : Damian Erskine (http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/damianerskine3) heard Creep on Earbits and it sealed the deal.

How about Accordo Dei Contrari?

(Although this product is listed as jazz rock fusion it is guaranteed NOODLE FREE)


I found it very difficult to categorise their rocky/jazzy instrumentals so I can't think of any higher recommendation than that...

Already mentioned but recommend Camel - The Snow Goose if you like symphonic prog

Good to see Gordon Giltrap get mentioned also. Fear of the Dark is a great album and well worth checking out

Just recently purchased Andrew Lloyd Webbers ' Variations' recorded in 1978 with his brother (Cellist Julian) , Rod Argent , saxophonist Barbara Thompson and the entire Colosseum II line up (Jon Hiseman , Gary Moore , Don Airey and Johne Mole). People in the UK will be very familiar with 'Theme (Paganini Caprice in A Minor No 24) and Variations 1-4' as its the theme music for the South Banks Art Show on tv. Fun little album running at only 34 minutes that could have done with some bonus tracks on the reissue but still worth checking out.

Just to be cross, we bow in supplication at the feet of a higher life form without whose tutelage none of us would know progressive music from the fluff we collect in our bellybuttons. (bet you're an outy' right?)Wink

Can't believe nobody has recommended Anglagard's Viljans Oga yet. Definitely give it a spin if you like symphonic prog with strong classical leanings and ballsy instrumentation.

Well, my favorite instrumental album is Di Terra by Banco. Great fusion of rock jazz and classical. Judging by your likes I think you'd like it.
I also have the first Sky album, but it's been a long time since I played it. Di Terra is light years better.
Marscape by Jack Lancaster & Robin Lumley (basically proto Brand X)
Univers Zero is really good - Uzed comes to mind.
Birdsongs of the Mesozoic - Faultline is a favorite

-edit- just remembered, Alimaailman Vasarat - love their stuff!

I still want to get some Banco albums, but I didn't consider so seriously Di Terra because it doesn't have the magnificent vocals from Di Giancomo. Perhaps I'm wrong about it?

ZOMBI's. SPIRIT ANAIMAL. Major awesome musicianship here. Highly reccomend Zombi. I also highly reccomend GOBLIN. Albums like the infamous SUSPIRIA, PROFUNDO ROSSO and ROLLER are beautifully crafted instrumental pieces. Enjoy Prog brother. :)
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

Xang -- their first album is excellent instrumental rock music.

Both Xang albums are terrific, Carpe Nota is stunning and of course anything from Odyssice! 
Also suggest the 2 Herd of Instinct albums , mind blowing technical stuff!
Finally Edwin-Durant- Burnt Belief 
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.
