Clueless as usual, it's a masterpiece, rehearsal intensive and highly composed

I knew there had to be someone out there who liked the album. Tongue

Riverside - Out of Myself: a well-polished debut from this Polish band rising from Warsaw. This is Progressive Metal, Jim, but not as we know it. Whereas the Progressive Metal of Dream Theater and Opeth  is like a raging torrent, the melodic music of Riverside is Poles apart, sounding more like a gently flowing stream, so if you're still In Two Minds about Riverside, then check out the great song below. Thumbs Up

Pendragon: I have nothing but Pure Love for this amazing band, when Love Over Fear conquers all. If you have the Passion to Believe in the awesome Power of Prog, then Pendragon are one of the best-known Neo Prog bands in The World and a real Jewel in the English crown - both Past and Presence! Thumbs Up

Pallas - The Sentinel: an excellent debut from this Scottish band, but wait until you hear their most recent album - the best Neo Prog album to The Edge of Time itself! Thumbs Up

I;m looking forward to shining The Light on Spock's Beard's debut if it's anywhere near as good as the Neal Morse Band's "Grand Experiment" album. Thumbs Up

2 stars 1995: Opeth - Orchid - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJXmUbk8nQM
 
Orchid: a Death Metal monstrosity that shoulld've been nipped in the bud when it first flowered. The album does have its rare melodic moments though, so it's not completely 'opeless. Inexplicably, Orchid was critically acclaimed at the time of it's release, so my biased opinion counts for nothing. Tongue

I know, but thanks for pointing it out anyway. The only reason I didn't mention Neal Morse's many solo albums is because these Modern Prog polls are for *bands only*. Smile

It's not like there are two different artists anyway... 
This has to be the best version ever of MacArthur Park. Clap

American singer Neal Morse is a man of many bands. Most notably, Spock's Beard (an entirely logical choice for fans of American Neo Prog) ; the multi-national super-group, Transatlantic; the Beatles' tribute band, Yellow Matter Custard; the American super-group, Flying Colors (featuring former Dream Theater drummer Mike Pornoy); the Neal Morse Band with their very impressive debut featured below; and most recently, D'Vigillio, Morse & Jennings with their 2022 album "Troika".

MOSTLY AUTUMN: THE LAST BRIGHT LIGHT in the renaissance era of modern British prog, who shine as brightly as a beautiful WHITE RAINBOW. It's still mostly spring here in England, but I'm looking forward to Mostly Autumn, in THE SPIRIT OF AUTUMN PAST before THE LAST BRIGHT LIGHT of summer fades away. FOR ALL WE SHARED together on ProgArchives, Mostly Autumn still remain my favourite band in SIGHT OF DAY. Here's THE STORY SO FAR..... The band were formed in York, North Yorkshire in 1995 by band leader Bryan Josh on vocals and guitar, Iain Jennings on keyboards, and with Heather Findlay joining the band on vocals for the recording of their first album in 1997. There are currently seven members of Mostly Autumn, but there are no PASSENGERS in this band, with each individual member contributing to instilling their diverse music with a rich and full sound. Their beautiful albums of Progressive Rock are as sparklingly effervescent as a bright WHITE RAINBOW, and are best-described as being like music DRESSED IN VOICES in a HEART FULL OF SKY. Mostly Autumn's diverse songs can be as delicate as GLASS SHADOWS reflected like STORMS OVER STILL WATER,  or as unrelentingly powerful as a runaway train. This versatile band of merry minstrels can just as easily perform MUSIC INSPIRED BY THE LORD OF THE RINGS as classic songs from PINK FLOYD REVISITED, or even music bathed in scintillating strings with THE GHOST MOON ORCHESTRA. Mostly Autumn are  STILL BEAUTIFUL LIVE and who can forget THAT NIGHT IN LEAMINGTON Spa back in 2010 when Heather Findlay gave her last live performance before Olivia Sparnenn joined the band on vocals. The band are still going strong today with their latest exceptional album Graveyard Star released in 2021, so who knows what THE NEXT CHAPTER may bring in the continuing story of Mostly Autumn. Smile

You are cordially invited to the jester's Garden Party, courtesy of Marillion, where you can party like it's 1983. If you decline to attend or you need to be Somewhere Else, then you'll be missing out on one of the finest Neo Prog debuts ever! So, never FEAR, be Brave and I'll see you there An Hour Before It's Dark, and don't worry, I'm not losing my Marbles.  Wacko

Magenta is an extra-spectral colour and Magenta are an extra-special band. Magenta are Neo Prog Legends, or so they claim in their 2017 release, "We Are Legend". The two founder members of Magenta - singer Christina Booth & keyboardist Rob Reed - had a colourful past as former members of Welsh band, Cyan. Magenta may have arrived two decades too late for the Neo Prog Revolution, but they've more than made up for lost time by making their first album "Revolutions" a double album, and very good it is too.  Thumbs Up

From the ridiculously bad yesterday, to the sublimely good today. Are You Sitting Comfortably? Then let's begin with IQ's  auspicious debut: Tales from the Lush Attic. which I've been listening to with increasing Frequency just lately. Up until joining ProgArchives, Neo Prog was as much of a mystery to me as the mysterious Dark Matter permeating the universe. In The Wake of listening to all of IQ's  superb albums though (with the exception of the inferior Nomzamo album), IQ gradually broke down my Resistance to Neo Prog. If you wonder how good Genesis might have been in the 80's if Peter Gabriel had remained with the band, then IQ are the perfect example, with singer Peter Nicholls sounding remarkably like Gabriel at times. Many modern prog bands have sunk without trace in the deep blue  Subterranea, or fallen by the wayside on The Road of Bones, but IQ have gone from strength to strength to become quite possibly one of the best Neo Prog bands Ever!  Smile
