1. Karnataka - Secrets of Angels

Top 10 favourite albums not in the poll:-

The only of these I know is Anekdoten's Until All the Ghosts Are Gone but it's a good one in my opinion and will get my vote. I would be interested in listen to the King Lizard at some time, and most of these albums I don't think would float my boat.

I've grown more into the art pop and prog adjacent music (less prog genre even if kinds of progressive, art music). These are some favourites of mine:

In PA:
Björk - Vulnicura
William D. Drake - Revere Beach
Susanne Sundfør - Ten Love Songs
Thee Oh Sees - Mutilator Defeated at Last
Anna von Hausswolff - The Miraculous
Chelsea Wolfe - Abyss

Not in PA:
Beach House - Thank Your Lucky Stars and Depression Cherry
Gongjoong Doduk (Mid-Air Thief) - Gongjoong Doduk
Julia Holter - Have You in My Wilderness
Camila Moreno - Mala madre
Joanna Newsom - Divers
Oneohtrix Point Never - Garden of Delete
Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell

Perhaps I should have turned in my Prog card quite some years ago.

Steve Wison for these but really

Schnellertollermeier- X
Upsilon Acrux- Sun Square Dialect
Guapo - Obscure Knowledge

Speaking of lives, which deserves its own series (but I think as a list your own, prog and non-prog so in General Music Discussions), I am listening to Swans' live album from 2015, The Gate right now. Michael Gira is intoning "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww" repeatedly currently (trance-y). Such things can be something of an acquired taste.

thanks for your answer
Not at all familiar with Swan who attracted lot of Prograchivers.
added on my 'want to listen to at least once before I die list '

For modern ones I might go with the studio albums To Be Kind and/or the Glowing Man (or The Seer perhaps or...), and for classics with White Light From the Mouth of Infinity, The Great Annihilator, Soundtracks for the Blind, and/or Children of God. The easiest Swans live album for me is Omniscience. I did find the ratings and comments at RYM useful for my Swans journey. https://rateyourmusic.com/artist/swans helps to give some idea of what you are getting into. The band is quite diverse while at the same time having a certain Swansness carry through the discography, and the sound/ style is considerably different depending on the album, track and period. Swans are beautiful and ornery creatures. It can be a real trip if you can let yourself go with the music.

Thanks Logan
