They are all worth listening to, IMO. Pretty different, though.

I agree with you & with Logan in general on the Avant music comment, I could list quite a few but that's not in the spirit of the thread.
I'd go for :-
The Future Kings Of England - The Fate Of Old Mother Orvis
Aranis - II
Discipline - To Shatter All Accord
|
Nogbad: Aranis II is a modern fave of mine too, but I also love the first Aranis which has about the proggiest track from the first two albums with "Zilezi". I'm not keen on Aranis' Songs from Mirage. Guldbamsen: Black Oni is definitely worth getting. That and five Suns are my favourite Guapo albums, but I also like Twisted Stems very much, as well as Elixirs. I don't have the early albums. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One modern one from the RIO/Avant category that I might recommend that the topic starter samples is Yugen's Labrinto d'Acqua. I used to love that album. I wasn't that keen on Iridule, but others like that Yugen album. Cheer-Accident's Fear Draws Misfortune was a big disappointment for me, but that's still one that I think could be a very popular one from Avant Prog amongst Proggers generally since I think it very accessible. For me that album is too stereotypically Prog (noodly), but one that I think generally recommendable.

Deathspell Omega- Fas Ine
Dodheimsgard- Supervillain Outcast
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum- Of Glorious Times
Book Of Knots- Traineater
Death Grips- Exmilitairy
Bney Hama- s/t
I don't know why but at the moment all I can think of are very aggressive, heavy sounding albums.

Too many to remember them all, but the bands that immediately come to mind who've released great prog since 2005 are Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson, OSI, Haken, Discipline, Opeth, David Gilmour and Yes (yeah, actually do like the new one)

These days I think seven years is a bit too early to judge. Hell, I can't even back further and label anything a true prog classic. Maybe I've just become to cynical in my old age. There's just good stuff and stuff I have no interest in.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Really? On this forum thats quite shocking! Right, get yourself Kayo Dot's Dowsing Anomone with Copper Tongue, Blue Lambency Downward, Coyote, Stained Glass and Gamma Knife (Choirs of the Eye is their best but it's from 2003) then download maudlin of the Well's Part the Second and finally move on to the two Tartar Lamb albums. Oh, and White Willow's Terminla Tilight fits your original criteria perfectly.

Not counting metal and post rock what prog albums from recent years(2005 to now)would you consider to be true classics or albums that will be.

Hey Dude, We seem to have the same tastes. I joined this forum to hopefully find more stuff like you are looking for. What I have found and I think are awesome: Glass Hammer - If Mystery - One Among The Living Marillion - Marbles (2 CD version for Ocean Cloud) IQ - Dark Matter

The following four albums come to mind as recent classics: Transatlantic - The Whirlwind Beardfish - Sleeping Through Traffic (part 2) Glass Hammer - If Steve Wilson - Grace For Drowning (Marillion - Marbles misses by one year)
while I've only just recently started listening to the new Discipline album, I think it may in time come to be regarded as a classic

I'm sure there are others but that's the first that jumps to mind.
