2011 - An Excellent Year So Far...

Such a long list for me, there's no way I could ever end it.

Eh, it's all right. I don't really consider myself a really huge prog fan, so I have no idea what most of these artists are.

Pendragon was good, Phideaux was ok.

Looking forward to big name releases: Opeth, Dream Theater, Rush (?), King Crimson (it counts in my book), Yes, Porcupine Tree, Steve Wilson.

If someone could recomment some folky neo-prog/ neo folky-prog kinda stuff like early Mostly Autumn, then that would be nice. It's all I really care to discover out of new progressive rock music.

Gloss Drop isn't out yet, it's just been leaked

Considering I liked Ki more than Ziltoid or Addicted, Ghost is my most anticipated prog album of the year (non-prog goes to Tom Waits' supposedly new album). Yeah, Opeth's on my mind. I'm hoping it's a full album of Harvest's, Isolation Years', Windowpane's, and Patterns in the Ivy's. Won't be, though. I never got into Symphony X in the first place, and DT lost me ever since Train of Thought.    "Feather" from Ghost was released as a free single and I like it quite a bit.   Did you hear "Throat of Winter" the most recent soundtrack single from Opeth? I think it may be our best hint at what the new sound will be, though I hope the songwriting is a little more developed. If it is, I will be delighted.   DT lost me after Awake.

Hostsonaten - Summereve
Daal - Destruktive actions affect livings
Fromuz-Quartus Artifactus
Fugato Orchestra-Noe
Gran Torino - Grantorinoprog
Gran Turismo Veloce – Di Carne, Di Anima
IL Ballo delle castagne - kalachakra
Mars Hollow - World in front of me
TCP - Fantastic dreamer
and many others

and of course, for the fans of Jean Louis/MeTaL-O-PHoNe, Radiation10 has their debut coming out this year.  Site's in French, sorry

Maybe Comus' supposed "late 2010" album will come out this year

Negoba wrote: Devin Townsend's Ghost and Decon are release June 21. Both have leaked. Unexpect was released last Tuesday   My sig is my abbreviated list. Here is my full   1. Unexpect - Fables of the Sleepless Empire 9.4 2. Grayceon - All We Destroy 8.9 3. Korekyojinn - Tundra 8.1 4. Between the Buried and Me - Parallax 7.9 5. Grails - Deep Politics - 7.7 6. Phideaux - Snowtorch - 7.6 7. Make A Rising - New I Feeling 7.2 8. Scale the Summit - The Collective 7.1 9. Fen - Epoch 4.1 10. Decemberists 3.0   The top 8 are all excellent albums and the top 6 would have made or perhaps eclipsed my top 5 from 2010. Top 2 this year already better than everything 2010 had to offer, and at least one more will qualify there.     I've heard a fair bit of Devin Townsend's two albums and they've been my most anticipated of the year. Decon will likely make my top 5 of the year. Ghost we'll see, I haven't heard enough of it yet.   I'm very excited about Opeth. Also somewhat less Symphony X. Who knows on DT.   What little I've heard of the new Ulver didn't do much for me. I am interested in the new Mogwai.

Some more released so far:
