My vote goes to "Dark Shot" by the French band ONE SHOT. Dark,zeuhl flavoured jazz that has thrilled me to no end this year.  Janick Top's latest is like going back in time to when zeuhl was at it's peak. IL BACCIO DELLA MEDUSA from Italy have no doubt pulled off one of the best sounding albums this year. DEUS EX MECCHINA's "Imparis" deserves a mention as well. How about BEARDFISH's latest.In my top 5 for sure.That was so much fun. RUSSIAN CIRCLES also deserves a mention. For me this was one of the best years for prog in a while.I'll mention AMASEFFER,AMYGDALA,EVERY OTHER FATE,OSADA VIDA,Neal Morse,HOSTSONATEN,FROSt,PENDRAGOn and MARILLION.

I'm surprised no one has nominated the new Frost CD yet.  It gets my vote.

And that's number 6 (or 7 whatever) !! Great to see so many fans of this jewel. Should yield some more reviews though. I'd say: do your job prog reviewers !
And bring in all those 5 star ratings StarStarStarStarStar.

Pendragon - Pure would be the most overrated album of the year imho. :(

Either of these easily deserve it. I'm not sure I can parse the difference in awesomeness between these two.


My thoughts exabsofreakinglutelactly. That doesn't look like a nice word, now does it? It sounded better in my head before I wrote it out... Anyways. Fromuz blew me away with Overlook, and Beardfish is rapidly becoming one of my top bands.

That's the one I pick as album of the year also! For me the second would be Pendragon - Pure.

I've heard the mainstream releases this year, Bedlam, Obzen, Watershed, with varying amounts of how much I like them. I'm still holding out to listen to "Traced in Air" soon.

OPETH - WATERSHED
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

^ Glad to hear some love for Fromuz.  Great band maybe the most overlooked prog band around right now.  The cover was done by a friend of mine, Ken Westphal, who also did the two Proto-Kaw covers and put the flames on the bison in my sig.
 
I also love Karmacanic and Presto ballets releases this year.

I'll say something that warrants saying.  I've not heard the album Fromuz - Overlook, but what a brilliant cover that has got!  The best I've seen for some time.
