Yes, Seven Reizh are great, sort of a more progressive Loreena McKennitt.
 
As my homeland is Poland, I can say that there are some quality neo-prog bands there (but also forgettable ones). As for the good neo-prog bands : 
- Collage ('Moonshine' essentially, the others really pale with comparison)
- Satellite : 'between sunset and sunrise' and 'evening games'
- Turquoise - 's/t' (the others are not as good as this one)
- Quidam - 'sny aniolow' (angels' dreams)
- Annalist - 'artemis'
 
Also some pop artists went prog in the seventies :
- Czeslaw Niemen
- Skaldowie
- Marek Grechuta
 
and there was a prolific jazz-rock scene in the same era :
- Zbigniew Seifert
- Michal Urbaniak
- Laboratorium
- Zbigniew Namyslowski
- SBB
...
 
Recently an interesting tech metal scene developed, with bands like Lux Occulta, Decapitated, Kobong, Ketha, Ingenium,  Atrophia Red Sun

I'm another Italian, but I never went too in depth with PFM or Banco. Thinking to the Japanes friend that started the discussion I would mention the Bellaphon (two nice Camel-like albums: Delphi and Firefly).

Here in Chile we have Los Jaivas, which is a huge band, one of the most influential chilean rock bands of all time (at least in Chile and Latin America). But the common listener doesn't knows that Los Jaivas are prog... Congreso is another great act, with a rather smaller audience, due to their fusion-oriented style, more complex in many ways. Still, Los Jaivas and Congreso are the most popular prog bands here. In the underground scene we have bands like Mar de Robles, a jazz fusion band, Octopus, an instrumental heavy prog band, Crisálida, a prog metal act, Tryo (not to be confused with the French Tryo), Akineton Retard, etc.

There was a local prog band here in Evansville, IN called Annunakis, and they were actually very good. They haven't played in a couple or years or so though.

Los Jaivas is one of my favourite bands. As I know, more than a year they play concerts without Eduardo Parra.

What happened?
