I am looking for additions to my progressive music collection; since I have virtually all of the 70s albums I like, I guess that means delving more deeply into the neo-progressive category. My favorite albums are Foxtrot, Selling England, A Farewell to Kings, Fragile, and Smallcreep's Day. I have Marillion's first couple of albums, and I recently picked up some IQ (The Wake, Subterranea, Seventh House, and Dark Matter) and found a copy of Somewhere but Yesterday by Citizen Cain - these artists seem to fit the bill. Any other CDs out there that are in a similar vein? I'm looking for songs reminicent of Supper's Ready, Musical Box, Dancing with the Moonlight Knight, Xanadu, Siberian Khatru, etc. |

| My current favorite Neo-Prog album is "I Am" by Tomas Bodin. Three long songs totally well over an hour. Hasn't left my CD player in weeks. |

Shaun Guerin From the stuff you've listed, he'd be right in your taste zone. http://www.shaunguerin.com/ - http://www.shaunguerin.com/ |

I agree with Porcupine Tree but in Absentia is also a great one Pepper's Ghost and Contagion by Arena are good ones |

| Try Porcupine Tree's Lightbulb Sun, its a mix between Metal and Hard Rock and is a great introduction for those who aren't into Prog Metal. |

Some of my neo-prog faves are: IQ: Ever/Subterranea/Seventh House/Dark Matter Pendragon: The Window Of Life/Masquerade Overture Pallas: Beat The Drum Iluvatar: Children/Story Two Days Wide Jadis: Across The Water/ Fanatic Anekdoten: Gravity There are tonnes more, but I hope these give you as much pleasure as they have me... ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.
