All, Thanks to this site and progressiveears I have discovered a lot of new prog music, and I've become a bit addicted to seeking out new music. I've started this thread to share a bit about my prog rock discoveries to find folks with similar tastes who can recommend me some of the more obscure groups that I might like. Sounds pretty selfish? Yes, but hopefully sharing what I have discovered and talking about them in this thread will help others make new discoveries as well! After all that is what social sites like prog archives are all about, connecting and sharing. A little about my musical tastes: - I grew up with the 70's prog bands but apart from Pink Floyd I don't listen to them anymore, much preferring modern prog with the occasional Camel or Genesis song. I would say Pink Floyd had a pretty profound influence on my current music tastes, as anything similar I tend to like. - My interest in prog rock (in any depth) has only been in the last 3 years, but I do listen to a fair variety (eg. iamthemorning through to Opeth). - I tend to like darker/moodier/melodic artists. It's hard to describe tastes, probably easier if I outline the bands that get the most listening in my favourites playlist: - Anathema. I have all of their CDs from Alternative 4 onwards, I like the direction this group is evolving to (especially given their roots) (*) - Airbag (clear Floyd influence here) (*) - Anekdoten - Antimatter - Aeon Zen - Big Big Train (*) - The black noodle project - Blackfield/steve Wilson - Children of Nova - Coheed and Cambria - Collage / Satellite (underrated IMO) (*) - Comedy of Errors - Crippled Black Phoenix - The deer hunter - Demians - Devin Townsend (Ki) - Disperse (*) - Dream theatre (only a few songs, like wait for sleep from images and words) - Edison's children (looking forward to the new CD) (*) - Enochian Theory (*) - Gazpacho (*) - Genesis - Ghost Brigade - Green Carnation - Haken - iamthemorning (*) - ioearth (* first album) - IZZ - Kamelot - Karcius - Karnivool - Katatonia (I have most of their albums) (*) - Leprous - Long distance calling (*) - Marillion (*) - The Mars Volta (deloused at the comatorium especially) - Maudlin of the well (without the growling songs) - Mystery - Nine Stones Close (*) - Not a good sign - Oceansize - Opeth (their lighter songs) (*) - Pain of Salvation (*) - Pendragon - Peter Gabriel (*) - Phildeaux (*) - The Pineapple Thief (excellent band, very underrated IMO) (*) - Pink Floyd (*) - Porcupine Tree (*) - Pure Reason Revolution (another underrated and quite unique band) (*) - Quidam - The Reasoning - Riversea (*) - Riverside/Lunatic soul (probably my biggest progrock discovery) (*) - RPWL - Sieges Even / subsignal (*) - Sound of Contact - Spock's Beard - Storm corrosion - Sylvan (Posthumous Silence is a very emotional CD, top 10 prog album IMO) (*) - TesseracT - Unitopia (*) - Vanden Plas - Votum (this is another big discovery for me, similar to Riverside and a must to check out for Riverside fans) (*) - Yes (the latest album is surprisingly good and fresh) I have put a stars next to the artists that if you like the majority of the bands in the list above and have not heard the ones with the star then I recommend give them a listen! Almost all these bands I have discovered from this site, progressiveears and discovery apps like Spotify. However its been harder lately to make new discoveries, so I'm hoping this thread will give me some pointers to more obscure bands (or even more mainstream groups I may have overlooked) so I can discover new music! |

Nice list! Seems like we share some similarities in our preferences I recommend adding Van Der Graaf Generator, Discipline, and Anglagard to your library. VDGG is my favorite prog group, hands down. Dark, ever-evolving, and ridiculously interesting emotionally and musical throughout, they sound exactly like something that would fit right into your library. Their sound is timeless. Their classic era albums are all as diverse as they are masterful, each one offering something new and of the highest quality. Godbluff is utterly perfect. It's the one I recommend the highest. Discipline is one of my absolute favorite groups, and if you like darker prog, they're perfect for you. Unfolded Like Staircase is one of the most moving, musical, and unbelievably impressive albums in my entire collection. It's flawless to my ears. Their most recent one is awesome too! I can't recommend them enough. Anglagard is a symphonic act that recalls the sounds and styles of some of the most revered older groups but puts a new, inimitable twist with their Hybris album. It's a masterpiece in every regard. Then there's Viljans Oga, an album that defies classifications and, in my humble opinion, confounds and shatters the symphonic prog mold. It's like a classical album with prog stylings and enough emotional and technical depth to keep you discovering something new with each repeated listen. A bit of a grower, admittedly, but I guarantee after you've given yourself a chance to digest it, it'll hold a unique place in your library that no other album can steal. |

Hi Neo-Romantic. Haven't given VDGG much thought having put them in the 70's progr rock bracket and I much prefer modern prog, but given your recommendation after seeing my list I will give them a closer listen. I have 1 song from Discipline in my favourites - Before the Storm Part 1 (unfolded like Staircase) so I'll need to check them out further. Likewise Anglagard, they aren't on Spotify (where I do most of my music discovery) so I'll have to hunt them down elsewhere. There is so much to choose from so it's hard to spend the time listening to somewhat random bands hoping to find one that warrants further time listening. So thanks for the more direct recommendations! If anyone is interested I have about 1500 prog tracks in a Spotify playlist, can be accessed here: http://open.spotify.com/user/1241861938/playlist/0VK2eKF32wOjb1mgUijXQd |

What a coincidence, those are the last three bands whose albums I've recently purchased. I like what I hear from Discipline so far, though I'm still waiting on the arrival of Anglagard and VDGG. |

Discipline is definitely worth checking out further. I also think The Tangent would be to your tastes, in case you haven't heard them. I only know "A Place in the Queue" but it's really good, and I've heard good things about their other albums too. A more obscure one that just came to mind, though I haven't heard them much, is Rainbow Danger Club (from China), which seems to be conducive to the tastes suggested by the other bands on your list as well. Quite melancholy and mystical.

So glad I could be of service! I definitely hope you like all of them And Anglagard is a little tough to track down. I had to get the actual CDs from amazon.com. I listened to Hybris on youtube a couple times before I bought the album last year so I knew it would be a worthy purchase. Viljans Oga was a sound-unheard purchase, but I was really pleased with it. Always a great feeling when a gamble pays off like that |

HolyMoly, The Tangent do sound interesting, have marked a couple of their tracks for repeat listening. Rainbow Danger Club I'm not so sure yet. Terima kasih Jelly Sucker. Birth Control is a little too 70's classic prog for my liking (I much prefer modern prog). I'm going to add posts to this thread of some of my thoughts about bands I like that might be of interest to others. 1st up is Votum. They are a Polish progressive metal group who have been around for about 10 years. Their music is similar to Riverside (who are also Polish) and will definitely be of interest to Riverside and Opeth fans. They also remind me of a couple of Australian bands, in particular The Butterfly Effect (from my home town of Brisbane but now disbanded). Like Riverside I prefer their softer tracks, and have been pretty much on the top of my playlist for the last few weeks. They have a polished sound, produced well, smooth guitar work, good lyrics and strong vocals (English with no accent). They have released 3 albums, all good, but the last two are more polished. The current album Harvest Moon would be in my top 3 albums released this year. They don't seem to get a lot of coverage though, which is a little surprising. Here are a couple of tracks to give you a taste. Great stuff! This is the type of band I'd like to find more like. |

Well here are some for you! I searched my database for music from this century, and added some 80s and 90s stuff I could think of offhand. A star next to ones I think you might start with. I've included some metal, but not (I think) the harsher sounding bands (maybe a couple of exceptions, depending on your tastes.) 3 3rdegree The Addiction Dream Anubis (*) Beardfish Carpe Nota Clover Seeds District 97 (*) echolyn (*) Elephants of Scotland Enchant Every Waking Hour Explosions In The Sky (*) Frames The Gathering Giant Squid Godspeed You! Black Emperor Halloween IQ (*) Isis Leprous A Liquid Landscape Mastodon (probably only Crack The Skye) Methexis Oblivion Sun Orbs Persephone's Dream Phideaux The Psychedelic Ensemble The Safety Fire Singularity (*) Sky Architect (*) sleepmakeswaves Symmetry/Symmetry Tangled Thoughts Of Leaving (*) The Tea Club Thank You Scientist Tune (*) Via Obscura Vultress (*) While not really in the Riverside/Votum sound, Tune is another band from Poland that I really like. The theme of their (one) album is similar to that of the Reality Dream trilogy. And if you're feeling a bit (more) adventurous: The Gabriel Construct Guapo miRthkon NeBeLNeST Nooumena Present Sleepytime Gorilla Museum Yeti Have fun! ------------- -- Frank Swarbrick Belief is not Truth. |

What team I'm on has nothing to do with my tastes or what I was going to recommend. From the OP I thought of some instrumental suggestions but was unsure how much you enjoyed music without vocals. Anyway, you might like these individual songs but not everything/anything else these artists did. Some are from the '70s.

OK, spent a bit of time sampling a number of the artists recommended. The following artists appeal and will get deeper listen: - via obscura - Tangled thoughts of Leaving - The safety fire - A liquid landscape - Giant squid (vocals a bit suspect though) - Frames - Vultress - Aborea - Hejira - The tangent - ISIS - Nektar - Tortoise Infocat, I have most of the artists you starred (although not in my most played list) so your suggestions are pretty spot on! I'll post later about another favourite prog artist. |

For Giant Squid I recommend The Ichthyologist over Cenotes. Less metal (both vocally and instrumentally). And some wonderful singing by the female vocalist. ------------- -- Frank Swarbrick Belief is not Truth. |

Infocat, yes it does seem our tastes are similar. Thank you for the recommendation. As I previously posted about Votum, an underrated Polish prog group, I thought I'd do some more digging about Polish prog, as it seems I have a strong representation of Polish groups in my favourites list. This morning I found a useful site for Polish prog http://powerofprog.com/group/polishprogressiverock" rel="nofollow - Power of Prog - Polish progressive rock This site has a player that you can sample a lot of obscure Polish prog groups, and I like a lot of what I hear! Finding online sources for some of these lesser bands is hard, but there is a post on that site that gives a number of stores (Polish and International) where you can order. Here are a number of tracks from a number of my favourite but relatively obscure Polish prog bands Satellite - Album 'A street between sunrise and sunset' Collage - Previous band name for Satellite Disperse - A number of their songs are on high rotation from the album 'living mirrors' Quidam - Check out the albums 'Alone Together' and 'SurRevival' Tune - Infocat suggested earlier I would like them, and I do! Lunatic Soul - A side project of the Riverside lead singer Division by Zero - Something a little harder / metal this time I'm not sure why I gravitate to so many Polish prog bands - they all have a somewhat similar sound so I guess that is the reason, and it's also interesting that they sing in English not in Polish (I assume to reach a larger audience). |

Disperse's Living Mirrors is one I'm not so fond of. Too much generic metal. I keep seeing some Metal Mind Productions double CD releases from Collage and Satellite at the local store. I think I will have to pick up a couple! ------------- -- Frank Swarbrick Belief is not Truth. |

Let me know what you think of Satellite/Collage. They were the first Polish group I started to listen to. Regarding Disperse living mirrors, there are a number of tracks on the album I don't like too much, but here are a couple more (quieter) tracks that I do listen to: |

While still on the theme of Polish prog-rock groups and Satellite/Collage, the former lead singer from Collage started a new neo-prog group called Believe. I only just discovered them over the weekend, so wanted to share a couple of songs. Live - This bread is mine. Beautiful! From their latest album, I find this song quite catchy Let me know what you think and if you have similar recommendations. |

| A very obscure album that has been noted as Progressive Rock is Neptune by Celluloid. It can be questionable if the album is Prog at all? The entire recording consists of mellotron pieces with the addition of old tapes which were pre-settings within the mellotron that date back as far as The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour , but more evident on "Revolution #9". Chuck Minuto recorded this album in 1983. The tape recordings of Hitler's voice, hand claps, sirens, laughter, and bizzare nightmarish sound effects leap out at you and give the listener the impression that they are watching a film...unlike some Electronic music that flows endlessly and sometimes traveling nowhere while putting you to sleep. The mellotron sections are sometimes harsh and so the catagorization of Prog comes to mind. The mellotron he once owned (although I do not know the model number), is the same mellotron model which was used by The Beatles...as he has informed me of this several times. Neptune is very original and totally unique remaining in a world of it's own. It carries you through several sequences of mellotron styles which are evident on early King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator, and Genesis (Tony Banks)..post early dark music nevertheless. There are actual tapes of the original Warner Brothers cartoon characters voices fading in and out over a hellish whirlpool of impressionable soundscapes and Progressive Rock hooks and signature lines. The record is very sought out by fans of not only the mellotron, but fans of Progressive Rock in general. I have attempted to lure him back into recording again ...over the years...and it seems like a mission of great time and energy with no results on his behalf. He recorded this 1 album that I transfered to disc (and with his permission) and have his unreleased demos. He was a true genius and it's a shame that I can't interest a progressive label to release his works. It is possible to obtain a copy of Neptune. You will never regret it if you are a Prog fan. Do a search. |

This is how I see it. You can basically do this three different ways. You can buy mostly newer stuff(from the past few years to the present). These are the most talked about(other than the most obvious seventies bands)and are the easiest to find online. Another approach is to look for the hidden gems from prog's golden era. These would be bands like Shylock, Balleto di Bronzo, Semiramis(and all the other one shot Italian bands), Fruupp, England, Gotic, Hoelderlin and on and on. Also, these days this could include bands from the 80's and 90's. These are not as easy to find online and you need to look. The best places would be Synphonic, Doug Larson and Laser's Edge (imo). Finally, if you are like most, you will want the best of both worlds and consciously seek out albums from every decade of prog from the late sixties to the present. Have fun!!! |

To quote a post from my blog following are links to some threads I started a couple of years ago recommending some obscurer modern prog bands. Some of which have already been mentioned but for ease I have quoted myself for the links. In an attempt to further enlighten myself as well as to bring additional discussions about new albums that haven't really been discussed I am creating a series of album discussion threads in hopes of bringing these albums additional attention, as well as to try and give both long and short-term PA forum members something different to talk about other than the same 6 or 7 bands that dominate the forums.

I would not consider this "progressive", as it is mostly experimental and off the cuff electronics and playing, but it is very listenable and it kinda makes you want to create a "story" with the visuals and images that it creates, but it dismantles them as soon as you have an image, which very much like a lot of the experimental electronics, that were coming around at the time. There were a huge number of them through out the 70's in Europe, specially France and Germany ... got electronics, do an album, and some are good, some are weird, some are strange ... and some ... just are! But they are always nice to listen to and you can background them ... except that they "don't leave you alone" as a sound or part of it, will get your attention. These are always a lot of fun to have around and listen to. Specially in the dope'y days, when you would put this on to show off to your friend that you found something better than their own album! Fun days! But the music and work was great! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com |

For me personally....this is the ultimate mellotron album. Dear God...I wish someone would assist me in luring Chuck back into recording again. It doesn't matter anymore if I reveal the fact that he is institutionalized, ignores the internet completely, and over the phone states unusal so called facts about his personal life to me. He just can't be reached and I was warned by Andy Garibaldi that he wouldn't be a long time ago. If you allow Neptune to grow on you..you might feel the same as I do. His personal stories about the CIA and his connection with them seem to give musicians the impression that he is delusional....however there is a history to it which is connected to his heritage and I bounce back and forth between conclusions. As I said...it doesn't matter because apparently he will never come out of hiding or resurface to record again.

Although not really obscure, I just wanted to post that I have 'discovered' The Perfect Element Pt.1 by Pain of Salvation. I have a couple of their songs in my playlist and was reading a post about classic prog albums so I thought I'd have a listen. Usually I don't like the 'classic' & must have albums (eg. Genesis Foxtrot) as they sound dated to me but this one has a more modern sound (which I prefer) and it reminds me of Sylvan's Posthumous Silence - another modern classic (underrated IMO). Good stuff and recommended for those who like the artist I posted at the start of this thread. |

Seeking out "new music" means that you have to forget anything you have heard or learned before, or you will never get the accptance necessary to be able to enjoy, understand and appreciate something totally different and unlike anything that you have already heard in your life experience.
It becomes "MOS" as it is known in radio. More of the Same.
If you want new music, MOS has to go out the door! Now!

Not that obscure, but I noticed no one said anything about Mostly Autumn, which based on your list you might enjoy. First five albums are all highly recommended. Also, if you haven't yet dig into Discipline, this year's release (This One's For England - a live album) is a great place to start. ------------- Bigger on the inside. |

Very true, I'm now listening to a lot more diverse music, especially heavier metal which 10 years back I would never have given the time to.
I have checked out a few of their earlier albums, I really like Before the Storm Pt 1 from Unfolded Like Staircase |

| There used to be a Progressive Rock and Electronic music scene in Mexico...and I refer to past tense because I am unaware if it still exists today. Jorge Reyes (RIP)...worked in Prog bands and released several electronic/Prog albums. One of my favorites being ..Cronica De Castas. J.L. Fernandez' Al Filo is an outstanding release. The music even crosses into the style of "Chamber Rock" and is worth looking in to. I also like Carlos Alvardo and a Avant-Garde experimental unit called 1870. |

Nahuatl was some trippy stuff (involved Reyes), and Aleacion 0.720's eponymous was an interesting one-off. Same for Caja de Pandora. At ProgFest 2000, we were treated to fest openers Codice, and everyone thought they were pretty good. They didn't bring Marisa Calderon with them so they operated as a predominantly instrumental unit with dual keyboards, guitar, bass and drums. They never released anything beyond Alba Y Ocaso. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

Wanted to post about a new 'discovery', Norwegian band soup. They have a mix of atmospheric prog rock a little like the new Edison's Children release, with the album Children of ELB being the pick for me (other 2 albums also good but a little more alt-rock). |

Posting more obscure prog artists I have found & like. First is from my neck of the woods, and I saw them supporting Anathema earlier this week during their first Australian tour. Kent from Sweden (not really prog but they have catchy tunes) Another from Scandinavia (Norway). Nordagust. Quite dark & melancholy. I keep on stumbling onto Polish bands. There is a rich prog scene in that country and I like most of what I hear. Here is State Urge. More from Scandinavia (Finland) - A lot of their prog is moody. The Chant, with a new album out and their back catalogue also worth checking out. Here is another from The Chant - A number of their tracks have been top of my playlist for a couple of months now. From Chile, a delightful neo/symphonic track from Aisles (2009 - In Sudden Walks) and one of my favourite prog tracks. Maybe not so obscure - Archive. Again from You All Look The Same To Me (2002). Here is a Swedish prog/fusion group Brother Ape. Very catchy tunes. These are some of the top tracks in my playlist that I have recently discovered. I'm posting these here (and the purpose of this thread) is to share some of the less talked about prog that hopefully introduces others to new prog music. As well, if you like my tastes, please suggest some of your more obscure prog that I may like! Enjoy :-) |

| Just my opinion but if you want quality obscure prog rock my suggestion is to explore older stuff from the international bands(including obscure US and UK though). Too many people get caught up in the flavor of the week. I'm not saying there aren't any good newer bands out there but it seems that the older ones get passed over because they aren't promoted or talked about as much. Some examples would be Maxophone, Pulsar, Far East Family Band, Semiramis, England, Cathedral(US 70's), Atoll, Solaris, Mirthrandir, Finch, Druid, Gryphon, the list goes on and on. There are tons and tons. I don't mean just from the seventies either but I would probably start there. If you are a symph fan then click on symph prog in the top prog section to narrow it down and click on what years you want. Other sources besides this website for finding obscure prog would be GEPR. net, gnosis2000.net, and synphonic for starters. |

There's a few more I listed on the previous page back in December that weren't on here. Put them all together and you have an even better list. Of course there are newer bands who play in the classic style who should be considered such as Anglagard, Nexus, Wobbler, White Willow, La Maschera Di Cera, Gosta Berlings Saga, Future Kings of England etc etc.

2014 has been a good year for prog. Here are a number of 'tunes' that I have discovered over the last 2 months, mostly new releases (I seek out newer bands, I don't enjoy most music from before 1990 anymore, even though I grew up in the 60s/70s). For fans of airbag (Norwegian band in the ilk of Pink Floyd) here is the solo album from the lead guitarist (Bjorn Riis - Lullabies in a car crash). Very impressive and polished, great guitar work. I like this one better than previous airbag albums. Definitely a recommended listen if you like the music I have been posting in this thread. Speaking of Pink Floyd (and not so obscure), the latest album doesn't overly float my boat but the following track is OK (Bjorn's solo effort is better IMO) Fish on Friday (a little more alt-rock than prog rock but quite listenable) Here is one from no-man from the album Together We're Strangers. I have a number of their albums but for some reason I missed this one, and it is one of their best. Lots of atmosphere and somewhat similar to Steve Wilson/PT. Presto Ballet (Piece Amongst the Ruins) from 4 years back IZZ should have a new album out soon. The last one was very good, here is a track: Lunatic Soul (from the front man of Riverside) has a new album out, full of atmosphere and features high on my repeat playlist - worth investigating further iamthemorning also have a new album out, belighted. Here is a track quite different to the old material, heavier (the rest of the album is softer, more classical orientated but still prog rock). Definitely worth a listen (especially for the talented lead vocalist Marjana Semkina). Yet another new release - The Pineapple Thief, Magnolia. This album is up with best of their discography and another recommended listen. Lastly and not least, the new album from Opeth, Damnation, which I find is more consistent than their previous few releases. Hope you enjoy these tracks as much as I do. Please do suggest and post other perhaps more obscure prog artists along the same vein as the music I have been posting. Thanks! |

The best way to find amazing obscure prog... block out a full day of your life. Go to RIO/Avant. Go through the entire list. Give every single band about 2-5 minutes of your time. Write down all the ones that truly interest you. Go back to that list. Give each band on that list about a half hour of your time. The ones that stick with you, write those down now. Suddenly you have a new list of insane great bands that very few people on this planet care about. :) ------------- http://pseudosentai.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - http://pseudosentai.bandcamp.com/ wtf |

I recently listened to YouTube excerpts from every album on the site rated above 4.0 by more than 100 people, plus a good number of others that caught my eye for whatever reason. Took me a week and I believe I grabbed all of the cream of the crop. But surely there are many gems I missed, either because they didn't fit those criteria or I didn't give the music enough time. I hope to find everything worth listening to eventually.

Maybe, but I don't have time to systematically listen to everything in my lifetime, that's for sure. If I see specific recommendations in threads, on progstreaming, and so on, I will listen to those opportunistically.

I agree, and do similar. Spend a couple of hours a week 'relaxing' looking & listening to new prog tunes while doing other work on my PC. You do miss some gems because for some music it takes a couple of listens to however there isn't enough time available to give everything a chance. But for bands (and sub-genres) that click with me after listening to them for a while I will go back and explore their back catalogue and similar artists. That is why I'm posting some of the 'gems' I have discovered in this thread to make it easier for others to discover, and thanks to those doing the same thing (embedding youtube clips helps also, just a click away to sample a new tune). I do find amazing the diversity of recommendations, to be frank only about 20% have an appeal to me - but I suppose life would be dull if everyone had the same tastes. But still 20% is great and I have added significantly to my playlist based on recommendations on this site (& progressiveears). Other useful resources I use is progstreaming, and I have posted earlier about a german guy who reviews literally hundreds of new prog releases each month (in English) with commentary about style, similarity to other artists etc. with links that make it easy to sample. It is a great archive going back 4 years also. http://newprogreleases.blogspot.de/" rel="nofollow - http://newprogreleases.blogspot.de/ . I don't get much joy from streaming sites like Pandora and Spotify that have 'radio stations' where they automatically queue up supposedly similar bands, although I am a big Spotify user due to the convenience and massive catalogue (and I do buy CDs / paid downloads as well). I have a huge prog playlist on Spotify that I have curated over the years, basically when using Spotify to hop around sampling tunes if I hear a tune I like the first impressions of (and some tunes only get about 20 seconds!) I save it to the playlist then after a while come back to the playlist and listen to these songs a couple of times over a day or two, and the ones that I end up liking more get saved to my regular playlist and get listened to long term. If you are interested and use spotify, here is Spotify link to the playlist where I save the first impression samples: http://open.spotify.com/user/1241861938/playlist/0VK2eKF32wOjb1mgUijXQd" rel="nofollow - - Starred (also some alt-rock, post rock & chillout). You will notice the vast majority of the music is from the last 10 years with a bias to melodic and dark/moody but a good mix of soft to hard/metal. Do post your favourite ways of discovering new (or not so new) prog tunes, and what resources like blogs and forums you use.

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.

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. |

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!).

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. |
