Great new progressive bands - Progressive Rock Music Forum

I'll very gladly contribute a list after I've finished the bit of housework I am currently engaged in. Love the idea!

I had been writing a nice list of albums I warmly recommend, and what did I do? I hit the "Home" button (heaven knows why) and lost everything. I'll get back to it in the afternoon. Sorry about that Embarrassed

Apparently there are not enough captchas anymore for your taste these days, you have to do it yourself... Wink

OK, try this again... In order to avoid any further problems, I'll just group my recommendations thematically. Let's start with the wonderful modern British scene, spawned by Cardiacs.

In no particular order...

Guapo - History of the Visitation (2013)

Knifeworld - The Unraveling (2014)/ Bottled Out of Eden (2016)
William D. Drake - The Rising of the Lights (2011)/ Revere Reach (2015)
North Sea Radio Orchestra - I a Moon (2011)/ Dronne (2016)
Chrome Hoof - Chrome Black Gold (2013)
Charlie Cawood - The Divine Abstract (2017)

Since a lot of excellent albums have been released during the past nine years, I'll stick to those I consider essential, rather than mentioning everything - which would take me ages.

and yeah.. let me add

Miriodor - Avanti.. the genesis of my conversion... perhaps my #2 ranked modern prog album

The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip

damn right...

Sister Death... make sure that is on the list.

The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip

I know Raff will mention it.. but I'll steal her thunder.

The single best prog album of the decade by far... UT Gret -Ancestor's Tale

the bassoon rules.. but not as much as Cheyenne did on that album.. she was enough to blow my 20 year abstinence away when she handed me a joint and ... well... was I going to refuse.. HELL NO!!!!!

The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip

I'll give a shout out to Bent Knee, The Winstons and Zwoyld as modern bands.

In terms of albums of the decade, either by classic bands or more modern ones:

Rational Diet - On Phenomena and Existences
Electric Orange - Volume 10
Bent Knee - Shiny Eyed Babies
Cosmic Ground - Cosmic Ground 2
Aranis - Roqueforte
Univers Zero - Clivages
Ut Gret - Radical Symmetry
Zwoyld - 200 000
Kayo Dot - Coyote
Chrome Hoof - Chrome Black Gold
Guapo - History of the Visitation
Setna - Guérison
Yolk - Solar
The Winstons - The Winstons
Alamaailman Vasarat - Valta
Yugen - Iridule
Magma - Félicité Thösz
Matt Berry - Kill the Wolf (not in PA, but Prog enough to me)

EDIT: I think that David Bowie's Blackstar deserved a mention.

Hmmm let's see.

Favourite new bands. I'm a big fan of William D. Drake and the North Sea Radio Orchestra - already listed. Also these don't count because they're around for longer than a decade.

OK, so starting from 2010 or later...

My no. 1 band listed here is probably Sonar (actually recommended by Nogbad the bad, one more he himself can't list first Wink

).

Not listed on PA as far as I know: I just discovered Stuff. https://stuffmusic.bandcamp.com/

Floating Points https://floatingpointsluakabop.bandcamp.com/

Lucy (Luca Mortellaro) is pretty cool, and I also like the new incarnation of the Radiophonic Workshop as a band (which in its origins is actually much older than prog).

As best album of the 2010s I'd probably nominate Swans' The Seer; their two following albums To Be Kind and Glowing Man are not far behind. "I a moon" of the North Sea Radio Orchestra is just wonderful. "Fun with Music" of a.P.A.t.t. is a delight, and don't forget the good old Art Zoyd who in 2011 delivered a very strong album with "Eyecatcher".

If we extend to people who made their start a bit before 2010, ex-Battles Tyondai Braxton (son of free jazz giant Anthony Braxton) is very adventurous and also tasteful enough to make most of his work both progressive and good to listen to.
