Hello!

Been listening to prog the past 9 years, but haven't really moved from the classics and Flower Kings and Transatlantic to anything new. This year I discovered Big Big Train, Beardfish and Southern Empire and find them amazing.

Does anybody have some recommendations for more music like that to listen to?

Thank you so much!

Ronnie

Based on the above, I'll give another plug for Mystery. A great Canadian melodic prog band who I got into belatedly with Delusion Rain and then continued with the new singer on the live album Second Home and the latest studio release, Lies and Butterflies.

Try Space Opera, not prog but a "uniquely American synthesis of pop, rock, country, folk, jazz, and even classical" (AllMusic). Very enjoyable if you want to settle into something other than prog for a bit.

The somewhat obscure US band from the early 70's?

Precisely! Read a good article about them at nodepression.com/article/lost-space-epic-saga-fort-worths-space-opera.

^ I listened to some stuff on youtube and it sounded pretty good. It vaguely reminded me of some Barclay James Harvest. I'll have to check out that article.

Proxy is superb indeed

I would also check out IO Earth - Solitude and Haken - Vector (but maybe try The Mountain first as that is an easy 'in')

I have just found out about a few IO Earth songs and they are really beautiful. I'll be checking the whole album next.

I'd recommend Lux Terminus and their debut album, The Courage to Be. It's heavily piano-based, and features what might be considered a djent playing style on the piano by pianist Vikram Shankar. Really energetic at times, and really calming and quiet at other times.

Interesting that they aren't on this website. However, they are on aural moon(online prog radio station) so if someone is a member on there you can request one of their tracks.
