Hi, everyone I'm really interested in finding some "New" prog to listen to. As of now there are only three groups I listen to that came from the 2000's, The Mars Volta, Beardfish, and Astra. What I'm looking for is something more like The Mars Volta with the frantic drumming and high levels of experimentation. That's about it, I basically just need somewhere to start. Thanks in advance!  -Cale

I'm guessing you don't want any prog metal, right? Steven Wilson Porcupine Tree No-Man Spock's Beard Neal Morse (beware the straight forward christian rock albums) Transatlantic The Tanget The Flower Kings Ozric Tentacles I feel i'm missing a few here, but still, hope you enjoy. ------------- EATTTT YOUURRR BEEEEEETTTSSSSS!!!!!

There are a few bands that always gets mentioned here, I'll try and recommend something different. First of all if you are looking for something similar to The Mars Volta you can always go for Omar Rodrigez's solo albums, this is the closest you'll get. Other bands which I find to be pretty special are: Dreadnaught Sky Architect Flor De Loto Estradasphere Sieges Even Umphreys McGee Resistor |

Kayo Dot, you'll certainly get the drumming and experimentation your looking for.

| Hey Greg! that Taal album is one of my modern favorites, what an excellent album. |

Sagi, yeah, it's an excellent album. I like both Taal albums very much. At first I didn't like Skymind as much as the debut, but I grew to like it more. A somewhat similar band that I really love is Secret Chiefs 3. I just thought of another one that might appeal to someone who like The Mars Volta -- Battles: ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.
