Exactly what I was thinking man! It took me a while to appreciate since I have a problem with long albums, but it is very enjoyable. I would say it's a bit less progressive and I'm not sure it's the right word but more jamy maybe, but it doesn't really bother me in this case.

Our Solar System - s/t (not on PA) psych
They have a new album? Cool Looking at the Psych chart, I cleared them one year ago
Oh, and since we spoke about the lack of Italian albums, I listened to Ad Maiora's new album yesterday and it seemed even better than the debut at first listen. Much shorter, quite spacey and there are songs sung in Italian now.

New picks: Amoeba Split - Second Split Our Solar System - s/t (not on PA) psych Méta Méta - MM3 (not on PA) fusion/avant Niechec - s/t (not on PA) fusion
One of my faves this year though has been Dutch band DeWolff's Roux-Ga-Roux. Completely abandoning their slight brush up with prog a little while back, they now seem far more content doing this wonderful mix of psychedelic south Saturn delta blues rock sounding particularly close to Dr. John from back in his Gris-Gris days. Absolute stunner of an album this one!

I really recommend the new album by Moulettes, 'Preternatural'. They're an English kind of quirky art pop/art rock band with female vocal harmonies, cello and bassoon, who have moved into a bigger, proggier (at times), more fuzzed-out sound on this new record- probably particularly of interest to fans of some of the current wave of female-fronted prog-pop bands like Moetar, Bent Knee, etc.
(and from the previous album:)
This stuff is incredible! I can't believe I never heard them before!

I still have to do a once over of the albums that have been released already this year, but I have to say that at this point in the past four or so years I had at least one album that I'd rank as a 5 star album...not the case with 2016. There have been some good solids but nothing that is lightening up the tree at this point.
Yugen's DBW probably comes the closest.

I'll have to check that Daevid Allen album out.
I've quite like A Moon Shaped Pool, Blackstar, The Glowing Man. I listened to the stream of Plastic House on Base of Sky, and it's definitely going to require more listens, very dense, but promising.
Maybe the first time in a while that almost all the albums that are topping my list are on PA.
Definitely need to explore more releases from this year, though. I'd normally check rateyourmusic for suggestions but I've been banned for seemingly no reason and it's not looking like they're going to get to lifting said ban anytime soon.

The Enid - Dust, it's until the moment the best album form this year for me, really, and probably one of the best since this decade, one of the most beautiful mixture of classical music and rock that i've heard!

Looking forward to hearing new Neal Morse. Also getting new Arnioe - The Teen Years that pays tribute to some of the great PROG albums such as Close to the Edge and Aqualung.
