   OK this one is for all of you Sad Sacks that are stuck in the '70's when it comes to progressive music.  And other stuff that may not be officially considered prog around here.   I will kick it off with stuff either recorded and/or released in 1990.
Summers, Andy Charming Snakes 1990 Feb.
Oldfield, Mike Amarok 1989 Sep.- 1990 Mar. (not satisfied with just doing one track LP songs per side...)
French Frith Kaiser Thompson Invisible Means 1990 March (my first FFKT album and my favorite)
Fripp, Robert & The League of Crafty Guitarists Show of Hands 1990 Jun. (I saw them live and found it rather interesting that when they weren't playing Fripp apparently required them to lay their non fretting hand down on their legs.  Hmmm...)
Eno, Brian/John Cale Wrong Way Up 1990 Apr.-Jul.  (wow this one has memories.  In 1990 I had what I thought would be my job through retirement.  In 1991 there was an economy crash and I got laid off.  )
Holdsworth, Allan Group Then! 1990 May 
Various Dali: The Endless Enigma 1990 Feb.-Jun. (I got this one on my first visit to the museum in St. Petersburg.  It was my first encounter with Djam Karet and Steve Roach.  I didn't really fall for them until A Night For Baku was fresh out.)
Hackett, Steve Time Lapse (Live) 1981 Nov./ 1990 Oct.
Curved Air Alive 1990 1990 Sep.
Sting Soul Cages, The 1990 Apr.-Nov.
Gismonti, Egberto Group Infancia 1990 Nov.
Eno, Brian Shutov Assembly, The 1985- 1990 
Badalamenti, Angelo Soundtrack from Twin Peaks 1989 -1990 (I think the Bad man is progressive composer.  Anyone with me on this?) 
Belew, Adrian Young Lions 1989- 1990 (Belew back with Bowie for a few tracks after Bowie stole him away from Zappa and Fripp stole him away from Bowie and he stole himself to solo albums before he was stolen away by Bears... )
Mitchell, Joni Night Ride Home 1989- 1990 
Yothu Yindi Tribal Voice 1989- 1990 (Saw then on the short lived Dennis Miller show before he became a right wing nut job.  How has that been working out for you, Dennis?)
Vangelis City, The 1990 Feb. Rel.
Ozric Tentacles Erpland 1990 Jun. Rel. (Ozrics continue to provide high quality exercise music despite being major stoners.  I know this because I have a concert DVD with backstage footage. )
Manzanera, Phil Southern Cross 1990 Rel. (Phil with commercialitis.  He came  back in a big way with 6PM)
Stewart, Dave/Barbara Gaskin Big Idea, The 1990 Rel. (My favorite by the duo and their most progressive. I remember this one for when I was unemployed and driving around and crying to some of the tunes.)
Wakeman, Rick In the Beginning 1990 Rel.  (Religious Rick.  It's OK.  One of these days I'm going to play it for the Christians who hang out outside the MARTA station entrances trying to sell or give out their literature.  I haven't yet engaged them because I am usually rushing to get to a bus.)
Kindler, Steve Across a Rainbow Sea 1990 Rel. (dull dull dull)
Manzanera, Phil & Sergio Dias Mato Grosso 1990 Rel. (a much better album from the Manz.)
Varney, Mark Project Truth In Shredding 1990 Rel.
O'Hagan, Sean High Llamas 1990 Rel. (this would become a band with the next album. They kinda fizzled out for me later on but the first few are really good.)
Anderson, Jon Toltec 1989- 1990 (Jon never did make an album as good as Olias but the Animation albums came close.)
Hedges, Michael Taproot 1990 (His most progressive album in my opinion. Worthy of his inclusion here but oh well.)
Isham, Mark Mark Isham 1990 (Not one my favorite of Mark's.  The music that hooked me was his soundtrack work for Never Cry Wolf.  It was a big influence on my synthesizer playing.)
Harrison, Jerry Walk on Water 1990 (Eh.  This one by Jerry isn't as good as The Red And The Black, which I don't think has ever been released on CD.)
Hassell, Jon City: Works of Fiction 1990 
Triggering Myth, A Triggering Myth, A 1990 Rel.
