I don't think I have a top 5 yet but that Ultraphauna album would surely be there. I think you had posted a Bandcamp link in another thread and that's how I came to hear it. So, thank you. It's great.


I think I now have a top 5.

Poil Ueda - Poil Ueda
La Théorie des Cordes - 4U-9525
ULTRAPHAUNA - No No No No
Karmic Juggernaut - Phantasmagloria
Swans - The Beggar

I'm really looking forward to that Chronicles Of Father Robin release. I have the 2013 ep which I hope to review in a week or two. This is the first time I've ever preordered an album. 
I'll actually be able to contribute to the 2023 Top Albums list. Last year I honestly didn't even have a top 5 worthy of voting for although since then I have picked up some great records from that year. I'm more in tune this year.

Southern Empire - Another World. Been listening to this a lot and has one of the best epics I've heard this year in White Shadows as well as a couple of melodious short songs Hold Onto Me and Butterfly. These guys can certainly play and manage to chuck in a bit of fusion into the mix just to prove the point! A band that is improving and deserve an audience imo.

^ There's always something to complain about. Some people might find it helpful, so they don't accidentally click on the link and leave these sacred shores LOL

Bands that are not progressive in any way are tagged with this "not on PA". What's the point?
Also, if there are bands that you think are progressive and not on PA, do suggest them. Otherwise, what's the point of the tag? Confused

^ Some of these are progressive, some are prog-related. See, I took out the genre labels since they freak you out, now you're complaining about the next thing. Are you my personal scrutinizer?

No, I'm not LOL
I'm also not freaking out LOL. But these tags still need to make sense in order to be helpful.

^ The "not on pa" part just indicates that at my website there isn't a link to pa for the album - so the link will take you to AwesomeProg instead of PA. But it's also meant to get people curious and think about whether the album should be on PA. Sometimes it should, sometimes it shouldn't Smile
