Man new music has been tough to get into recently, I have been spinning my collection and just enjoying that for now. Nothing really has sparked my interest, would love to see something new from:
The Flower Kings
Anathema
Echolyn
Riverside
SWilson should have something later in the year

It's still the same man working compositions duties as on Anabelas (Daniel Andreoli), who also joins in on bass. All the other band members are new; all young musicians, too, so we won't have to worry about any tired-sounding "dad prog" vibes.
If you haven't heard their recent EP, Resplandor, I'd recommend it. Nothing as wildly extravagant as Anabelas, but it's a great collection of tunes nonetheless, and leaves me optimistic for what a full length album would hold. Very much in the same hectic, eclectic, jazz-heavy style. I think that they've actually premiered some of the new album material during their recent live shows, so some of it may even be on youtube.

My Godness, the new Oldfield album is amazingly BEAUTIFUL, when i heard the glockenspiel in the beginning a tear fell of my eye, really remember the former Ommadawn, and i think that from a couple more listen it will become a masterpiece by my ears just like the three first albums from this genius :)

Looking forward to new albums from Krokofant (to be released next month), Motorpsycho (with new drummer Tomas Järmyr (Yodok, Yodok III, Zu), to be released sometime in the fall) and Møster! (rumoured to be released in March, but I haven't seen anything official yet, but that should come very soon, if the rumours are correct), as well as the just released debut album from Reflections in Cosmo (Ståle Storløkken (Humcrush, Supersilent, Elephant9), Thomas Strønen (Humcrush, Needlepoint), Hans Magnus Ryan (Motorpsycho, Møster!) and Kjetil Møster (Ultralyd, Møster!)) (waited for this since I saw them live back in '15, potentially album of the year right there!).

Haven't received yet. I've read that it's a truly ambient one a la 'Thursday Afternoon' and 'Lux' (both fantastic) but probably not a good place to start.
Give a try to :
1. Another Green World (song-based mostly) 2. Music for Airports (ambient) 3. My Life in the Bush of Ghosts (exp. world. electro.) 4. Nerve Net (crazy stuff, man. 6/5) 5. Small Craft on a Milk Sea (ambient. exp. electro.)
Have fun.

Looking forward to new albums and stuff from these fellow norwegians:
New Wobbler album
The Chronicles of Father Robin
Ingelrii
Weserbergland
White Willow
And there will be at least two releases from Tusmørke, where one of them is an album for children. And my band Jordsjø will release three or four new tapes. So there is a lot going on in the vast forests of Norway these days...

The only 2017 album I've heard so far is the debut by This Winter Machine, a Neo-prog outfit from the north of England. My first listen indicated this was a band of promise. Not the most original or inspiring, but nicely played and well worth further listens.

I just scored me a super new Karda Estra INFERNAL SPHERES album, complete with a passel of horn players this time including bass clarinet and the mighty bass trombone. I think Richard will really be sounding out the abyssal depths with those and I'm, like, totally stoked.

I preordered Ayreon- The Source The grapevine reports, it's more guitar driven then past Ayreon albums. I adore the Ayreon formula, however I'd like to see Ayreon progress beyond Arjen's comfort zone.
I'm looking forward to Barock Project's new album. After the success of Skyline, BP aggressively shifted into overdrive, hightailing toward the checkered flag. So, the lead singer bowed out, deciding to pursue other goals.
"Tiger Moth Tales" composer, lead singer, and multi-instrumentalist Pete Jones ( toured recently with Camel), co-wrote 3 songs and sings lead on two. Meanwhile keyboardist Luca Zabbini , pianist, and composer adds lead singer to his resume.
Can Steven Wilson keep the streak alive? I'm guessing he'll release his new album around Oct-Nov.
For several years in a row, an Italian band I've never heard of has seduced me. Something's in the water besides gondolas. It seems Italian bands are benefiting from record companies who aggressively promote, distribute, and support the local talent. I'd like to see a resident RPI expert wax prosaically on the new Italian Wave.
PS- Crossing my fingers 2017 will be the year Phideaux releases Infernal.

Thanks for the tip, did not know about this. Interesting to see side-long pieces this time rather than their usual short compositions.
I saw them live when Gabe Serbian was on drums and they kicked unfeasible amounts of arse. Indeed they were all about that! I'd take it from the House of Mythology blurb that the approach here is gonna have considerably more light and shade.

Just got my hands on Chalice Hymnal myself and I agree with you; very beautiful album verging on the serene. I rather dig their newly found electronic palette - a thing I believe got implemented after 2014s Watter collab. Quite a few similarities between the two.
Oh and thanks for the heads up on the coming Zu album Audun!
