Cosmograf - The man left in space
"The Man Left in Space’ is a concept album exploring the themes of aspiration, achievement, and the failures that our quest for success, sometimes brings. The story is played out against the analogous theme of a doomed space mission, launched in a bid to save mankind" "It features a number of special guests from the progressive rock community including Nick D’Virgilio (Spock’s Beard/Big Big Train ), Dave Meros (Spock’s Beard), Matt Stevens, Greg Spawton (Big Big Train), Simon Rogers, Steve Dunn ( Also Eden ), Lee Abraham ( The Lee Abraham Band ), Luke Machin ( Ex-The Tangent/Maschine ) and Dave Ware."

I would like to blow my own trumpet at this point and suggest Tinyfish's "The Big Red Spark": You know when you have a song that you can't get out of your head? What if, instead of a song, it was an IDEA? An IDEA that tells you how to build an incredible machine... You don't know what the machine is actually for, but it's so exciting you have to get to work on it as soon as possible... |

It's not prog (well, it should be, if we expanded our definition of progressive electronic), but this album takes me to alien worlds: DeepChord Presents Echospace's "The Coldest Season" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvSlCJ5LB2A Edited by jude111 - October 14 2015 at 11:02 |

Absolute Elsewhere - In Search Of Ancient Gods
The Alan Parsons Project - I Robot Tangerine Dream - Stratosfear (simply by the power of suggestion the cover, title and overall sound of the compositions can put you in a futuristic frame of mind)

You should check out Ayreon. "Into the Electric Castle" and "The Universal Migrator" are two very good sci-fi themed space operas.
Cheers, |

One could write a book about this if they had the time.
Off the top of my head, Ayreon as mentioned before (Actual Fantasy, 01011001) Arjen Lucassen's Lost in the New Real Star One's Space Metal ELO's Time (plus some scattered earlier songs like Mission from A New World Record) Muse's Black Holes and Revelations Parts of King Crimson's In the Court of the Crimson King (21st Century Schizoid Man) Manfred Mann's Solar Fire Mike Oldfield's The Songs of Distant Earth Hawkwind's Space Ritual (any probably many others) Rick Wakeman's Journey to the Center of the Earth Devin Townsend's Ziltoid album David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust album A lot of Vangelis' stuff (Albedo 0.39 for example) Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds Some of Nektar's stuff Some of Eloy's stuff Jupiter Society (kind of like Ayreon in a sense) Gong's Radio Gnome trilogy

1974 and Twin Beaks are two bands whose whole discography is a single sci-fi concept

Devin Townsend - Ziltoid the Omnicient
Hawkwind - Love in Space (a relatively modern brilliant live album with an continues string of songs in sci-fi themes) Voivod - The Outer Limits (though other albums are sci-fi themed as well, this one is just a good entrypoint, also try Nothingface) Arena - Immortal? (neo prog sci fi) Solaris - Martian Chronicles Grobschnitt - Solar Music Live IQ - Subterranea |

The Ian Anderson concert "Jethro Tull: the Rock Opera" could be seen as a sci-fi, actually. It will probably be released as a DVD soon...

Some of the ones I'd recommend have already been mentioned, so I'll just second I Robot by The Alan Parsons Project and Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of the War of the Worlds (SO GOOD!).
However, I would like to add Dimensionaut by Sound of Contact. I think it's a neat little album.

A third for Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of War of the Worlds.
But try and get the version from the 70's with Richard Burton!! Aww, Jeff, he just couldn't leave it alone could he?

Genesis' Lamb qualifies methinks.

Here- I mean, I know it's annoying to post my own stuff but I know there can't be too many science-fiction horror prog rock albums out there. This is a brief description, but of course if you want the entire story in detail, feel free to message me. 'Bansheeface' is our five year venture into making a sci-fi horror epic- a mental film created through music and lyrics. It covers everything from political intrigue to the murder of a deity. The Bansheeface reveals herself to a planet she has been hiding in and gives them technology far too advanced for them to comprehend. Because of the major conveniences they bring, the majority of the human race becomes part of a mass sacrifice. Their blood will water the seed that will be planted upon her burial. The main character of the story will try to stop her, but doing so will have consequences he cannot fathom. This is the story of the vessel for the seed that will eventually destroy a planet that holds 3 sentient species. It is also rare in the sense that it is set during around the Middle Ages in technology for humans but all this new stuff is being brought forth. It's absolutely ridiculous in plot
