New picks:
Amoeba Split - Second Split
Our Solar System - s/t (not on PA) psych
Méta Méta - MM3 (not on PA) fusion/avant

Thanks for the tip on Méta Méta, this is just my cup of tea. Happily I discovered they are playing in London next month, and I now have tickets for that 
The Niechęć album is a winner. If you don't know their previous record Smierc W Miekkim Futerku it's worth hearing as well, damn good stuff.

I completely missed this Simon, but I'm thrilled to see some love for those mad Brazilians Maybe I should swing em by the avant quarters and see what's what. I could definitely see them included on PA somewhere. That actually goes for the Niechec (my keyboard is unwilling to branch out into progressive letters and the much revered Cyrillic system) album as well. Sounds like fusion to me.

For me 2016 has been almost barren until some recent releases...
Karmakanic - Dot
Gandalf's Fist - The Clockwork Fable
I also like the Lee Abraham album The Seasons Turn
That's it...

Warpicks "Age of Exploration" is pretty good. I like the new Macroscream and Stefano Testa albums too.
Grappling was another monster from Tea Club, unfortunately it came very late 2015 rather than early 2016, thus missing its proper accolades in our poll.

Kinda knew this was gonna happen, but you can Definitely add Fates Warning's: Theories Of Flight to my top albums this year.  I can't get over how good FW is. Their longevity is amazing. Absolutely ageless band cause they keep getting better and they try different things. One of the best bands I know of in all my time and research into Prog and music in general. 33 yrs of kicking ass.  A dog fight now for #1 now. Top 3 for now are (in no order yet) 1) oceans of slumber -- Winter 2) Headspace-- all that you fear is gone 3) FW- theories of flight. I don't know how I'm gonna pick a #1 this year. It's tough.

Indeed, especially if the country is small like mine, many bands think the country is enough  Thanks, I'll give it a listen.
It's certainly more accessible than OTABH. Did you order it on vinyl? I'm not sure if it works well since it splits the song in two. |
I haven't placed the order yet but Discogs has OTABH available on both black vinyl and magenta vinyl. Shipping will be at least $15.

I wholeheartedly agree. And apparently they have some new concert footage and a full length album coming up.

I'm pretty sure they're from Gouveia (the proggiest town here). How are the others by the way?
I listened to both albums released this year by Øresund Space Collective and they are really good, especially "West, Space and Love II": a very cool fusion of Electronic and Raga Rock, like the first one |

The new album by Sendelica is available for listening and pre-order on Bandcamp. They are from Wales and play instrumental psychedelic space rock and they play it very well. The actual album title is... "The Pavilion Of Magic And The Trials Of The Seven Surviving Elohim"

Everybody else seems to have the new prog stuff well and truly covered here, so I'll not say too much other than suggest an album by the UK electronic act Plaid. Their new one, The Digging Remedy is wholeheartedly recommended for lovers of progressive electronic music that doesn't qualify for inclusion here . Ie, IDM. Think of the more pleasant Aphex Twin music, factor in loads of heavenly chord progressions and you're almost there.
