Strangeitude came out on I.R.S. Records, too. IMO, it was a big leap forward from Erpland. Strangeitude has a crazy energy, it's infectious. "Sploosh!" hit the top of the UK Indie Chart, as well. Arborescence completes an unofficial trilogy. I played the hell out of all of them, and Live Underslunky. Become the Other wasn't as good as the four before it, but they started to recover with Curious Corn.

Ozric's 1990-91 albums Erpland and Strangeitude do the same job, if not better, and sooner.
Earlier than that with Djam Karet: Reflections from the Firepool (1989). ll Passo Del Soldato is amazing! You should listen to that ASAP. I chose Jurassic Shift partly because it was their first on a major label, the first to make the charts(in the UK)and the first to get them noticed in the US. Imo, it's fantastic. Strangeitude is very good too but not quite as good(imo). I maybe heard Erpland once a long time ago but don't remember it much. The same goes with the DK. THe prog community went bananas when that came out. It seems to have been a real gamer changer for them and prog at that time also. I'll check out some of the other ones too though. I'll listen to that Nuova Era on youtube the next time I get a chance.

Obviously not third wave, my point was that I wasn't in much need for prog to "come back" because there were great prog albums in the phase in which you apparently think it was absent. The thing is, none of these albums feels like anything "coming back". Instead they feel like progressing. Influence, it depends on whom. Fred Frith is super influential in some quarters, as was Holger Czukay, and Kate Bush anyway. Maybe not to typical prog listeners. By the way, I don't want to be negative. I don't have anything against your list or your topic, I just thought I take it a bit against the grain (like Talk Talk did with pop music
 ).Edited by Lewian - October 05 2020 at 13:55 |

Most of those are from/related to the post progressive genre, that came in the "second wave" of prog along with neo prog, so I basically agree. I think they part of a comeback though (as I said, they came with neo in the second wave), just not a recent one. And you could argue the comeback in the 90s/00s isn't recent either, for me it finally ended with PT's The Incident, and that was 11 years ago now. Trouble is, since the 80s, prog hasn't really drawn much attention (apart from us prog fans), and therefore defining when a comeback was is very difficult (because prog bands aren't talked about, say, on the radio). It took us ages to realise there might have been a third one, and I'm having huge trouble determining whether we're in one right now. We are in a very debatable field.

None of these are from the third wave or were part of any real comeback though. Also, I don't consider any to be very influential apart from the Talk Talk and KC (IMO). Maybe KB too. Not sure.

I'm not personally familiar with the Kingston Wall or Nuova Era so can't really comment other than to say they both have rather high ratings on here. That Djam Karet release(the devouring)is often considered to be one of their very best if not their best so if you don't like that one then chances are you won't like them in general. The same thing with that Ozric Tentacles release(Jurassic Shift). That After Crying I had a long time ago and only heard once I think. The albums they put out before it are rated higher by some so maybe just look for the highest rated ones by them on here but don't neglect this one either(I don't remember which ones are rated the highest). The IB is very good with some pure classical moments but somehow it works and makes it a very interesting listen(too bad I no longer have it and apparently it's now oop). With PLP I am not sure I heard that particular album even though I think I own it(I don't usually play the autograph copies I have of a band and I'm pretty sure PL signed that one). If you don't like ELP you might want to skip them though(very keyboard oriented with some heavy guitar). Of course you can listen to these on youtube. You don't have to buy them(especially if you don't like them).

I could name more.

maybe Isildur's Bane - I will check this band out. Par Lindh Project - I know this band but I don't know what I heard long ago that made me gave up on them, might get a second chance, time is all i need. Ozric Tentacles - not quite my thing, I did listen to a few albums of theirs at some point Kingston Wall - I've heard of these guys, I wonder why I have never heard a full length from them, might give them a second chance Djam Karet - I tried listening to these guys, could not get into them, maybe I was not in the right mood, I don't know After Crying - I know who they are, I did listen to something from them, long ago, damn if I remember, might get a second chance. Nuova Era - I've never heard of this band, RPI? I will check them out at least to see what the fuss it's about. |

With Thinking Plague I like the 80s period much more, as well as the follow-up to In Extremis, A History of Madness.. In Extremis was one of the first albums I bought when trying to modernize my tastes and I didn’t like it. It’s has been a very long time since I last listened to it and should give it a try again. The Nebelnest I also have, but was never a favourite. Ahvak was one I got into. Another favourite of mine is Aranis, which is less rock oriented. Avant Prog is such a mixed bag. While I often favour less rock ones, and often favour more gentle music, Cardiacs’ Sing to God is one of my absolute highlights of the 90s. |

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

The name Terraformer sounds familiar. That's not a band's name is it?

If I heard that last year I wouldn't really agree but reworking through 2019 and getting around to some stuff I missed, I absolutely agree. I slept on Terraformer, You Know What They Mean and Modern Rock Ensemble
