Grails, Deep Politics. Another beautiful & scerene track. TheNightTimeProject, self titled. Many good tracks on this debut release from last year Lithium Dawn. Tearing Back the Veil 1: Ascention. December '15. This track in infectious. Other tracks also decent. The above postings are just a sample of new prog music I've discovered over the last few months. If you have similar tracks/albums that I might like, or just want to post a recent discovery, please do.

Great stuff man. I saw in one post that you wanted people to share what artists interested them from this thread. For me, it is Sanguine Hum, The Chant, Amiensus, ESFERA, Baron, and Kaddisffly. Glad to see they all have bandcamp pages since that is my primary means of music acquisition. Keep up the recs please! I'm also a music discovery freak so it all helps.

Thanks for the interest and sharing - I wasn't sure if anyone was caring about sharing recommendations as I seem to be the only one posting (but the thread gets lots of reads). I'll look up Amiensus and ESFERA as I haven't heard of them before.
And I have more curated recommendations to post :-)

Lots more new music to discover. I've been enjoying the new iamthemorning album Lighthouse released this month. Below is a slow but particularly beautiful track lighthouse featuring Mariusz Duda from Riverside.

Lots of interesting recommendations....mostly newer bands. I tend to look for the old early prog and proto prog things when I look for more obscure things.
Recently been listening to Lucifer's Friend, Titus Groan, Gravy Train, Three Man Army, Odin, Skin Alley, Mogul Thrash, ....all early mostly Brit prog things. I like coming across them in the old record stores or just seeking them out on cd online. If anyone has any bands like those from the early 70's please post them.  |

We have loads of threads similar to this one, so maybe that's why folks aren't using this? I'm not sure really.
I tend to read the 2016 Picks for recs. Also there may be another reason now that I think of it. There are quite a few members with poor internet connections on here. When they try to visit a thread with this many JooToob vids, the page simply won't load...or it will but it takes a week to finish.

As the thread starter I'm happy to keep posting my more recent discoveries / recommendations. YouTube videos are a great way to quickly sample a tune without much effort, and I'm sure 95% of the folks on the forum have speeds better than dial-up. Also posting one video per post will make the pages roll over faster to a new one, reducing the load time.

Here are some more recent recommendations. Firstly from Frost* who have just released a new album Falling Satellites after many years in hiatus. Its a solid release, I particularly like this tune as it slowly builds up as the song progresses.

Another song that also builds very nicely from the new album Your Wilderness from Bruce Soord & the Pineapple Thief - one of the more talented contemporary British prog acts who have consistently released solid albums but seem to be underrated. If the rest of the album when it gets released in August is as good as this track then it maybe the mainstream breakthough this band has been trying for.

Another contemporary prog act with a new release. Katatonia - The Fall of Hearts. This album is stronger and more consistent than previous efforts with a number of catchy tracks. Likely to be in the top 5 albums of 2016 I think.

Change of pace - an obscure group from France not on youtube, but bandcamp. Sweet female vocals and a atmospheric ambience.

One of my favourite heavy prog groups from Italy - Novembre, normally I don't like too much growling however the melodies that this group produces have a great hook. They also have a new album out, Ursa, but here is one of their older tracks from their earlier album Materia.

Something different again, a little more alt-rock / prog. Klone. from France & their new album Here Comes the Sun which has an interesting mix of styles.

More crossover prog / alt-rock. The Earth and Everything In It from the US, their album from a year back.

No worries mate  I was merely trying to answer you in the best way I could think of. Btw absolutely adore that Baron album. One of my faves from 2015 even if I first discovered it in 2016. |

Guldbamsen, all good, I'm using this thread to share the discoveries I have made and enjoy, hopefully others discover something new as well from my posts. Last one, a pre-release track from Swedish metal group Wolverine, from their upcoming album Machina Viva released in July. Sounds more mellow and polished than previous albums.
