Steve Hackett's solo career - still exploring and the golden voice of Jeff Buckley. There's so much stuff as such that I listened to for the first time this year but these two stood out for me.

My biggest discoveries of this year were (in no particular order) Pyramids, Have a Nice Life, and City of Caterpillar. For some strange reason none of them are on the archives, but they're all so damn good.

respectfully disagree, maybe the later KC but the overall comparison always bugs me, especially when people (not on this site) won't let me love KC and loath Tool in peace
anyway, was a huge music gathering year:
- Ian Anderson's solo stuff
- Curved Air - Air Conditioning and Air Cut (had Second Album and Phantasmagoria)
- Novalis
- Culpeper's Orchard
- 2066 & Then
- Harmonium
- SBB
- Roxy Music's self titled
- Mainhorse
- Birth Control
- Omega
- Le Orme, Banco, Quella Vecchia Locanda, pretty much all Italian prog was a this year gathering other than PFM
- Trace
- Kingston Wall
- Lucifer's Friend
- Justin Hayward & John Lodge - Blue Jays
- Night Sun
- The Tangent - enjoy A Place in the Queue
- Raw Material
- Folque
- Solaris
- Fantasy
- Gracious
- Spirit
- Virus
- May Blitz
- Jade Warrior
- Grobschnitt might have been an early year discovery, memory is fuzzy here as to a date
- most importantly twas the year I finally got High Tide's self titled

Hmm well I guess:
Muse Hank Mobley Kenny Dorham Freddie Hubbard solo-Wayne Shorter the Liars Kenny Wheeler Bach (more so a connection with rather than a discovery)

Well, I guess I'm pretty new to the prog scene, so my great new discoveries of the year are "Lateralus" and King Crimson's music. Now I see why so many comparisons are drawn between Tool and KC. They both make perfect music!!!

Wow. Well, I only got into prog three years ago; although I did like Genesis and Yes, I didn't know I liked prog. (I'm only 14.) So:
My biggest find of the year has to be: KEVIN GILBERT And his bands Giraffe and Toy Matinee, which are good, but his solo stuff is superior. It took me a while to track down his The Shaming of the True, which I finally found for 54 dollars (I'm just a kid, and I don't have that much money to toss around). Anyway, it was rereleased for $16 two weeks later.   Other great finds include: CRACK THE SKY (s/t, Animal Notes, Safety in Numbers) - Really good hard rock/art rock that never really got attention. PHISH (Junta, Lawn Boy) - Not exactly prog, but proggish. Either way, it sounds great, especially Lawn Boy. URIAH HEEP (all their early stuff) - Yes, prog-geniuses, but I'd never heard them. THE MARS VOLTA (everything) - They really rock! WEEN (The Mollusk, Chocolate and Cheese, The Pod) - Wacky and wonderful! TOOL (everything) - I heard "The Pot" on the radio and got the wrong impression. Lateralus is a masterpiece! DIXIE DREGS (Free Fall) - I saw the record in a shop for a few dollars and it spoke to me. OSI (s/t) - An unlikely choice for me, but their s/t album was really impressive, especially with the bonus tracks. ESPERANTO (Last Tango) - A Beatles-covering Belgian prog band is always something to be wary of. MAN MAN (Rabbit Hats, Six Demon Bag) - Great, absolutely insane band. Not prog, but equally experimental. IDIOT FLESH (Nothing Show) - Another unlikely choice, but it was captivating, (and it barely qualifies as music). |
