I really dig them tooBig smile 
Long John Sailor prog lives!!!

I'd say they have received a fair bit of reviews compared to 95% of the other 2014 releases though.

I just listened to this - musical magic!  Thanks for the tip.
 
I see you have Combat Astronomy on your list - don't know if you were aware that another project with Martin Archer, Orchestra of the Upper Atmosphere, also had their second album out this year? Very good indeed (better than the first album, for my money).

As far as prog goes, I haven't heard too many 2014 albums.

IQ - The Road of Bones
Phish - Fuego

Those are two albums that I find to be really good.

Has anyone checked out the new band Spidergawd? It features prominent Motorpsycho drummer Kenneth Kapstad who at the moment seems to be featured on all experimental albums coming out of Norway.
It's on it's way to me as we speak, but I haven't heard anything from it as of yet other than it being psychedelic (which was the clincher for me).
 
Just found this tune:

The psychedelic rock thing wasn't a joke on their behalfLOL

^ I've heard a couple of tracks. Good stuff, but, sadly for me who doesn't own a turntable, it's a vinyl only release (I think), so I won't be purchasing.
 
Also, it features Motorpsycho bassist and vocalist Bent Sæther too, if I'm not mistaken.
