The two albums by Musica Urbana from Spain, rated 4.2 and 4.4 respectively. Really unique and jaw-dropping. http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=7216" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=7216

Said it before and will say it again... Janison Edge: The Services Of Mary Goode (for neo fans who like sumptuous female vocals and swirly keys) ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |

I struggled to think of any Davy O'List - Second Thoughts John Hackett & Nick Fletcher - Beyond The Stars Sergio Alvarez - Escenas De Ficcion none of those are particularly exciting though Tin Spirits ( a band including Dave Gregory of BBT) have a couple of albums . The debut has 10 ratings but by far the best is Scorch which has 12 ratings. That is an absolute gem so I didn't want to not mention it! Tangerine Dream - Pilots Of Purple Twilight (The Virgin Recordings 1980-1983) has only 7 ratings but is my favourite era this group. |

Rich, knowing we have fairly similar tastes, where would you suggest I start with IO Earth? ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

Afasia - "Nelle Vesti Del Mio Ego" ...one review Outstanding combo of classic Italian prog influenced by Dream Theater type metal. Concept album doubles as extended metaphor.

Thanks To Jared for mentioning Janison Edge.......Magenta ( Element sounds like Booth to me which is fine), IQ, Marillion, and even Phideaux imho all rolled into one. Sadly I don't have any 'less than 10 reviews' bands to mention ....

Just Bulbs but close enough. ;) Anyway, I also recommend Hoc by Franc Albir. No reviews on here at all despite having 22 ratings. This is really great symph prog.

These were the first I could think of: http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=19268" rel="nofollow - Miles Davis - Big Fun
(seven reviews) Slightly overlooked back in the day (as its compiled
from 1969-1972-sessions and released in 1974), but essential jazz
fusion. More psychedelic, indian inspired (with sitar, tamboura, tabla)
and perhaps easier to get into than Bitches Brew. http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=1536394" rel="nofollow - Rhesus O - Rhesus O
(four reviews) Warmly radiating zeuhl/jazzrock, much like the sweet
jazzsounds featured on the two first Magma albums - sans the vocals. http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=111947" rel="nofollow - Flamen Dialis - Symptome Dei
(seven reviews) Dark, dense and french "pocket prog symphonies" thick
with mellotron. Just read Sean Trane's review. The only review there is. http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=18727" rel="nofollow - Pearls Before Swine - The Use of Ashes (six reviews) stunning prog folk. Masterful songwriting, achingly beautiful. Every song is like a timeless classic. Really. http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=19673" rel="nofollow - Zanov - three first albums : (8, 2 & 4 reviews) if you like the "classic" sounds of Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze here's where you can find Phaedra or Mirage's equal imo. I'd start with his 1976-debut Green Ray. http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=3363" rel="nofollow - Terje
Rypdal: Terje Rypdal (two reviews), What Comes After (two reviews),
Whenever I Seem to Be Far Away (four reviews), Odyssey (four reviews) . My favorite albums by my favorite guitarist are all overlooked. http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=10681" rel="nofollow - Umberto: From the Grave & Prophesy of the Black Widow (only one rating each). Infectious Goblin/Fabio Frizzi horror/giallo-grooves. -------------

probably at the beginning with the self titled debut. Checking this site their first 5 albums have remarkably similar ratings at between 3.87 and 3.94. Uncanny. I do like Solitude a lot , its very soulful and atmospheric. Aura is excellent as well but you can't really go wrong with any of them.
