those guys are amazing! ...the track Divine Moments of Truth (their homage to dimethlytryptamine [DMT]) is their magnum opus ...they incorporate Tuvan throat singers, didjeridoos, birds, Native American singers, xylophones, turntables, & a whole host of unconventional instruments with interesting timbres ...one of my favorites!

Hiromi Uehara- Just discovered her and she's already one of my favorite jazzers. Her duet album with Chick Corea is amazing, and everything else I've heard from her is right on that proggy side of fusion I love so dearly.

Agent Moosehead- Local band from Philly I discovered by accident. I got their only CD and its fantastic. I might have to take a trip there just to see em live. So up my alley its almost unsettling even.

Shpongle- I'm not into trance music by any means, but these guys make some undeniably good music. Very spacey organic sounding stuff not too far removed from the Ozrics (one of my favorite bands). I'd call it prog too, the songs are very adventurous from what I've heard. Fun fact: one of the two members is Raja Ram, the lovable flute playing hippy who founded Quintessence back in the golden age of prog music. The flute improv over the tracks are done by him I believe.

These three pretty much exclusively have been getting play. So great! I should be listening to one of these now in fact.

The three prog bands getting the most play from me recently are:

Phildeaux (Chupacabras, 313, Fiendish)

Abel Ganz (Shooting Albatross, Back from the Zone, Danger of Strangers)

Parallel or 90 Degrees (Can of Worms)

Also been playing a lot of PR lately with BOC and Sabbath. Starting on a Camel run too now.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Recently it has been...

Isis (new album)
Ozric Tentacles (new album)
Oceansize

Recently..........

Nathan Mahl
Syrinx
DFA

The Saga from Canada? I didn't think that you liked them.

The first two doesn't change too much for me, and I am really not sure which prog band I like the third most.

1. Rush

2. Yes

3. I'll go with The Flower Kings' nation, thus including Roine Stolt solo, Kaipa, Karamakanic, Transatlantic, Tomas Bodin solo, The Tangent, etc...

Curlew

Genesis

Gilgamesh
