The shout out for Lifesigns is a good one, however for me the best relatively new Neo band out there is definitely Sanguine Hum.  They're not your typical Neo outfit, and the fragile vocals may put some off, however their fresh sound and amazing chord progressions certainly get my prog senses tingling.

i guess for me it`s Anekdoten, Airbag, maybe Riverside, Pineapple Thief, late Opeth stuff, but all their latest suff is more to sound like mid 70`s classics ))

I never cared for Marillion that much, despite that they're basically "THE" Neo-prog band. I prefer IQ, Pendragon, and Collage. They're all incredible.
One likes to believe in the freedom of music, for glittering prizes and endless compromises shatter the illusion of integrity.

Aragon (at least until mid-90's. Cold strained kitchy 80's-90's sounds perfect for singer's raging falsetto
Tiemko (closer to jazz - fusion, but their own style !)

Like Wendy is awesome, highly recommended

Well they've only made 1 studio album so far (another one is in the pipeline) but they are brilliant.

Neo Prog is my favourite sub-genre.
 
I can recommend the following as having good quality and consistent output:
 
IQ
Comedy of Errors
Arena
Sylvan
Pendragon
Anubis
Barock Project (not typically neo, but very, very good)
 
The following bands I also like, but I have not heard much so cannot vouch for their consistency:
LIfesigns
Synaesthesia/Kyros  (not listed as Neo any more, but I can't really identify any stylistic difference)
Gandalf's Fist
Drifting Sun
Magenta
 
I consider Steven Wilson's albums Raven and HandCannotErase to be very similar to neo prog and these are quite agreeable.
Also, what I have heard of Phideaux is pretty close too and well worth a try.

Some of AISLES (Aisles?) is pretty good. 4:45 AM was free at one point and that's the majority of what I've heard from them. Hawaii I think is okay too judging on it's rating currently. They're sort of like a watered down IQ but I still like them well enough.

I esp enjoy the song The Show: it has a feel of graceful endurance and I felt it like like Talk Talk invites Holdsworth and as voices, Levin/Belew (yes a voice that recalls so much Belew ! After I'd been amazed at how Piet Roelofsen (also a dutch singer) sounded similar to Peter Gabriel).
Hi Jean-Mary
I will send you another Demo very soon. Sorry for lately! I had (have) too many troubles . Keep in touch.Wink

I'll listen carefully to it ! Things ain't well but you keep going, and I owe you the more respect.

In addition to the usual suspects like early Marillion, IQ, Arena, Pendragon and Twelfh Night, I like Anubis a lot
