Every time I am listening to Soft Machine. I cannot get enough of their music.

Half-joking aside, my discoveries are All Over Everywhere and everything from Emkog Records, all Zeuhl bands, most Canterbury Scene bands, Three Monks and most of the new generation of RPI bands, Advent, Present, Flairck, Drudck and a lot of other bands I have forgotten. 

PA is about discoveries and scratching my brain cells with sounds I find difficult to understand. That's for me is the whole point of PA.

Biggest discovery is not so much a "discovery," but just a new found initiative to finally delve deep into Frank Zappa's discography after having listened to only a few tracks over many years, despite really enjoying them. It was long overdue! LOL

Other artists I got into this year are:
Meshuggah
Jaco Pastorius 
Elliot Smith
Maudlin of the Well
GY!BE
Mogwai
Khan
Okkervil River
Museo Rosenbach's Zarathustra
The Dillinger Escape Plan
5uu
Bjork
Haken
Burzum

Pretty good year I would say.

Given your name and avater I'd say you did a really good job of it too Smile
 
My personal favourite isn't a band or artist, its indie and  indie folk in general. Fleet Foxes, Sufjan Stevens and even Radiohead (I knew them but I only really got into them properly a few months ago) etc. I'm completely addicted atm and if I had the money I'd go get some more right now LOL
 
I also only discovered Jeff Buckley this year. Not prog but a damn good discovery that I wish I had known earlier.

I just heard a great CD by a band out of Oregon called Subarachnoid Space. (They have a Myspace.) I also learned right afterward that they played their "farewell gig" in July! I hope they resume recording at some point. Fans of Djam Karet and Tarantula Hawk would like this. Any fans of Subarachnoid Space on here?
