Yes, I have noticed that as well. The youtube vids are a great way to sample a new tune quickly but this page is quite congested.
I see this page has flip over to fresh new page, will promise not to post as many from now on.

Maybe this has been already proposed: Identify a few reviewers whose tastes seem to match yours and check their reviews page, sort by rating, and see which albums they rated highly which you do not know.
After quite some money spent in albums which are very highly rated here in PA but did not impress me at all, I tend now to be more selective on those where the high ratings came from members I consider reliable according to my personal taste and preferences.

OK, time for a few more discoveries / recommendations that I have found over the last few weeks. To save on bandwidth I'll post these as separate posts so the page doesn't have too many youtube links.
Firstly from my neck of the woods, Anubis. I liked their earlier albums and the latest is a more consistent and polished offering. All the songs on this album are good, here is a sample.

Here is a sampler of tracks from Dave Kerzner's (ex. Sound of Contact) new album New World. Has some similarities to David Gilmour / later Pink Floyd.

Polish band ISOS, from their recent album Loving on Standby. A little accented but still good prog.
Another Polish group that I have posted about previously (introduced to me by Infocat on this forum) is Tune. Their latest album isn't as good as the previous one (Lucid Moments), which was a cracker and excellent use of the accordion (and now one of my favourite prog concept albums). However still worth a listen. |

Here is something a little heavier, the latest release from Skyharbor, a very enjoyable album and gets lots of repeats on my playlist. Similar sound to Tesseract and Karnivool.

Another Aussie band, this time the new band from a couple of members of Unitopia. If you like Unitopia you will like this album (although a little pretentious in places).

The new album from Dutch band Silhouette is worth checking out.

Yet another Polish group - Maze of Sound (Poland seems to be a real hothouse for Prog Rock, about 1/4 of my modern prog playlist are Polish groups, I guess I just like their sound....).
That's it for now. Do post your discoveries as well.

OK time to post some new discoveries. I'm finding if I check the latest releases for each month I can find a number of new bands to listen to, and for the ones that really grow on me I check their back catalog. This means my listening has a very strong bias towards new prog music, which is a good thing but I know that I'm still missing some gems from years prior to 2010 - so again a call out to anyone reading this thread who appreciates the music styles I'm posting - do suggest some music as well!
Another band from Poland (almost half my recommendations are Polish - its unintentional, just seems I 'get' their sound!).

Here is a track from the latest beardfish album - +4626 - COMFORTZONE. Probably the best release I have heard so far for 2015, I didn't really like their previous releases however this one is highly recommended, it keeps growing on me and towards the top of the playlist.

Sylvan's latest release - Home. Not quite as good as one of my favourite CDs Posthumous Silence but still very listenable.

From Oslo, Norway, Radiant Frequency's new album Brorby-Sko. No youtube but check out the bandcamp page, the last track 'sleep' is a wonderful 70's prog inspired improve track.

OK time for some more recommendations.
The new album from IZZ. Very polished and consistent and the last album in a trilogy. Arcane, a local band for me (Brisbane, Australia). More refined than earlier efforts, and the song below is from interesting double album released in January with a mix of heavy and light prog metal. |

From the latest album from Archive. Lots of softer, songs with ambience. Nordic giants. I posted about them in another recent thread, post rock (with vocals) from England not Norway. |
