First, thanks to PA for being so helpful in exploring new territory... I've crossed into other genres and even continents and found really brilliant and beautiful new/old music.

In no particular order:
- Unitopia
- Minimum Vital
- Hiromi
- Odrareg
- Premiata Forneria Marconi
- Taal
- Big Big Train
- Aviva
- In Nomine
- Aisles
- Eclat
- Kayhan Kalhor
- Fromuz

and on and on...

- Unitopia




Totally forgot to mention Unitopia.  I'm a hard sell when it comes to contemporary prog, but these Aussies stole my heart quite a while ago.  I was drawn in by the whimsical art for The Garden, and waited anxiously for Artificial to be released.  I must have listened to that album more than thirty times in the last two months: great, awesome progressive rock.  And I'd like to second that tip o' the hat to PA: every day brings new music thanks to you guys.

Completely agree Lozlan. And it's now official - fellow, slightly older Aussies Dead Can Dance have overtaken Haken as my biggest discovery of the year!

The Swedish sextet Angles are by far my biggest discovery of the year. Though that's Jazz.

As for Prog, I'd have to go with Cosa Brava or the Book of Knots, two excellent bands.

They are an awesome live band, i've seen them 4 times in the last two months and i'm going again next week. Each concert the crowd gets bigger and more enthusiastic, and i heard they're moving to LA next year to try some luck, i wish them the best.

Never heard of these Romanian Blackmetallists before, but they blew me away at Hellfest this year. Amazing stuff. And very glad to see them included at the Archives. Thumbs Up

I was most impressed by 'The Future Kings of England.' I really like what sounds they make. My ears are comforted.
