Ars Nova - The Goddess of Darkness

Solefald - In Harmonia Universali
Age of Silence - Acceleration

Hidria Spacefolk - Symbiosis

Taipuva Luotisuora - I (Finnish space rock band. If you're interested, try some of the songs on their website, http://koti.mbnet.fi/crud/luotisuora/ . Especially the track "Music for kortela space hood elevators" is awesome. This band is totally underground even in Finland.)

the list is huge and endless.... there are soooo many bands that should be cosidered first division but will sadly be always obscured by (great nonetheless) that monopolize the top 100. just to name a few:

   1. Mezquita
   
   2. La torre del Alquimista.

   3. Citizen Cain

   4. Happy the man

   5. Pollen

   6.Echolyn
 
   7.Sebastian hardie

   8.Iconoclasta

   9.Simon says

  10. Quaterna Requiem

   And that's only in the symphonic front...
    Oh well...

An album that deserves a LOT more attention is Peter Hammill's opera "The Fall of the House of Usher". Anyone who likes dark prog should check it out. Be warned though: No drums or percussion on this album, at least not in the 1999 version (which is the better one; the 1990 version still had drums, which didn't really fit though, and it was a good move of Hammill to remove them).This album is not a silent one though, although there are no drums.

Altered State: Dos

Simply amazing album.  Completely overlooked.

Oingo Boingo: Oingo

Their last studio recording. More prog than you might expect. Elfman put a lot of what he learned about orchestral composing into that one.  Too bad they broke up after that one.

 
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

Top stuff! Great to see someone else actually likes Piblokto- 'Living Life Backwards' is a superb single, and the albums are stunners...

I love Blodwyn Pig's two albums, plus the first T2 one also.
