I haven't really dived into Haken yet tbh.  I have quite a few of their albums but every time I try to digest I find the music doesn't quite hold my interest.  Long intros or something?  Not sure.  Need to go back.  Maybe I'm not judging them fairly as they do tick the boxes but just hasn't stuck with me for some reason.  What is essential song-wise to judge fairly?

The essential song, in my opinion, is probably the one that least resemble Subsignal: 



I think that Affinity has the sound that may interest you the most:

Thanks Alberto, that's not a bad recommendation for Subsignal fans... I knew the name, but had never checked them out before.. Clap

I have been listening to the last two albums by Caligula's Horse lately and I think that you should check them out.

I thought I’d enjoy Caligula’s Horse, because I really liked Jim Greg’s previous band, Arcane.
CH has never hit me the same way Arcane did, though. 🤷🏻‍♂️

In that order, 2017/2015/2020/2013.

I'm a massive fan of Subsignal, and given the recommendations thus far, it's made me appreciate their particular brand of crossover prog even more. Outside of Sieges Even's final album, nothing really comes close.
Wish I could have been of some help.

Just wanted to say that I'm happy to see somebody reference Hourglass. They're an amazing band that does a stellar job at balancing technicality and melody. While I haven't listened to their first album, their subsequent three releases all bring something different to the table, and each one shows the bass becoming even better than its previous outing.

I will check those other albums out.  I think I have maybe the most recent two releases and def enjoy them when I've visited them...but, have to say, just not much equals the best Subsignal for me.  Some of their songs just don't get old!

100% agree.  Two good Siege albums...HATE the early ones, they are naff...but really just nothing in the world of x-over prog hits me like  the best Subsignal.  it's that emotional connection along with the complex yet very accessible melodies that just rules.  Really hope we see something new from them soon!

Your enthusiasm reminds me that I've been meaning to write something about Beautiful & Monstrous, arguably their best and most unique work.

Anyway, I'd be surprised if their new album isn't released this year, but that's assuming nothing untoward occurs.
