There are a lot of great albums on this website that have gone seemingly unnoticed that I think deserve to be noticed. I know there is a similar thread up right now but it seems to be about underrated albums rather than undiscovered.
Dan Arborise- Of Tide and Trail (this is an album I bring up a lot) Perfect Beings- Perfect Beings (though this album is admittedly still quite new) Chrome Hoof- Chrome Black Gold (though this was on the 2013 collaborators list) Voice of the Seven Thunders- Voice of the Seven Thunders |

Seems the post was a little premature as Perfect Beings is now gaining popularity, though this was posted before it happened.

Gurumander & Friends – Blue Star. An album that got put in the New Age bin, but features some quite unique guitar work. The second half is a lot like instrumental Floyd. Should also appeal to fans of Jade Warrior and Anthony Phillips. I just checked and it’s still available on Amazon.

Hello Master of Time Coincidently your name is also one of my ultimate favorite track name's from a British Band called Big Big Train,when you have time here is a link to their song, as named Master of Time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0evzFOVclJU Back to topic, a band that has been under the radar in the west is LOS JAIVAS, they are from Chile since the 70's to date, listen to this track it was actually filmed on location in Machu Picchu I promise it's really good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExGOc5dVY10&list=PLMyHPEAFkfwMOS5u60qHezYqcYvx_qTdf |

Turner and Kirwan of Wexford – Absolutely and Completely. There was just one album under the band name, but the two principals are still around, Pierce Turner as a solo artist and Larry Kirwan as leader of Black 47.Listen for the Rachmaninoff
adaptation at the end of the title track.

In the US, Nick Cave had flown under the radar for the longest time, but his popularity has picked up over the years.
No More Shall We Part and The Boatman's Call - two albums that went Top 10 around the world but didn't make a dent in the US Top 100.

^Funny how some things work out. Talk Talk had something similar happen to them. It was first with the internet that they really grew to the status they have now, which is something like the proto architects of post rock.
Nick Drake's albums never sold much at the time, but today he's an icon - folk's cult figure.

Aviator. The British supergroup consisting of Jack Lancaster, John G. Perry, Clive Bunker and Mick Rogers. Their self-titled first album has long been high on my list of albums that had everything going for them and deserved to be at least a cult favorite but still remained undeservedly obscure. They struck a near-perfect balance, IMO, between prog and 70’s pop. The longer and more complex tracks (Keep Your Heart Right, Silver Needles, Country Morning, Morning Journey) are my faves. Both of their albums never even got an actual CD release.Not to be confused with the 80’s
American arena-rock band whose most famous member was Tommy Zito.

Speaking of Jack Lancaster, I think Marscape featuring him and the Brand X boys (Lumley, Goodsall, Jones, and Collins) flys mightily "under the radar." It's been readily reviewed on Prog Archives (thanks, Slartibartfast), but I personally don't know anyone who's heard it (I don't get out much), nor have I ever read mention of it on this site. There are those detractors who'll say it ain't prog, but that's splitting hairs, really. Whatever one might term it, it remains amazing to the ear, IMHO. |

Couldn’t agree more on Marscape! Definitely amazing to the ear. And who says it ain’t prog??? |

Agreed! It seems like the internet is making classics out of bands and albums that were utterly ignored when released. I know sites like this have exposed me to a wealth of music i NEVER would have found otherwise. |

Opinion it all is of course. I have not heard anything here other than Chrome Hoof - Chrome Black Gold which i find much less interesting than Pre-Emptive False.... Just MY opinion and not to say it's bad but just doesn't hit me the same way. Thanks for the suggestions though. I always love hearing new music but despite listening to new music constantly there's sooooooooo freaking much!

I'm not really sure he'd be keen on large corporations using his songs for commercials. But then I usually get irritated when I hear any good song used to hock some item I am completely ambivalent about.

While Gryphon's Red queen to Gryphon three is pretty well known in the prog community, I always felt it was outrageously underrated. To me it should be ranked easily in the top 15 symph prog albums.
