Following on from Recent Prog Discoveries 1980-1999, these are some of the "new" artists I've discovered from my recent series of Post-1970's Prog polls. Predictably, the list is heavy on the symphonic again and very light on anything that's remotely avant garde or metallic. There's a surprisingly strong showing for the Swedes in this list but with barely any showing at all for the turnips. Ouch Shocked Wacko

I'm afraid, you lost me here, Paul, but I'm fond of a couple of albums with

Hypnos 69                           Space Rock                  Belgium                      2001-2010

Taal                                     Eclectic Prog                France                        2000-2003

anyway, congratulations  Smile

Btw, I'd say that Taal's Skymind (2003), which I'm fond of, is both metallic and avantgardish.

To be honest, I think the reason there are only two English bands in my list is simply because I've "discovered" most of them already. Smile

I can also conclude, Paul, that you've been much around geographically speaking which I find to be very good
and exiting. Tongue

Echolyn and White Willow are already on my Recent Prog Discoveries list for the years 1980-1999. Thumbs Up

Yes, Sweden has beaten England 5-2 in this line-up and Das Boot is on zee other foot for the Germans too with only one band (Sylvan) in the list, and having included a Russian band (the ironically named Little Tragedies), I couldn't forget my Ukraine Ways with Karfagen. Smile

I'm sure it won't surprise you to know that I've never heard of any of those five bands. Embarrassed

Swedes is the English name for the rutabaga root vegetable, England played like a bunch of root vegetables, hence turnips.

in terms of the last few years or so

Far Corner
Elephant 9
Kaipa
IZZ

not many as I was already was well aware of bands from that era (or started then)

I could add Anathema as I discovered them about 2015-16 time but that's not 'recent'.

not a long list lol

I've just added Haken to the list at the top of the page. I had no idea they were British until today, so I've added them to my Prog Britannia playlists too. Thumbs Up

You must have read my mind. I was just about to mention Sanguine Hum, having added them to my playlists after you mentioned them recently. With a name like Sanguine Hum though, I had no idea they were British up until last week. I've also added Sanguine Hum to the list at the top of the page, along with Haken. Thumbs Up
