I checked, there wasn't really a prog lounge thread about it. So what say ye? 2005, come and gone. For some it was great, others not so good. Who are your picks? 1. The Mars Volta: Frances The Mute. 2. Glass Hammer: The Inconsolable Silence. 3. Dream Theatre: Octavarium 4. Porcupine Tree: Deadwing 5. Neal Morse: ?   -------------

^ I think you mean The Inconsolable Secret, Glass Hammer's masterwork
released in 2005. It ranks as one of my favorite releases for the year as well. Other goodies include: Wobbler - Hinterland Little Atlas - Wanderlust Echolyn - The End Is Beautiful |

The year 2005 was a very good one, this is my CD Top 5: 1) Riverside-Second Life Syndrome - Incredible compelling and powerful prog 2) Ubi Maior-Nostos - Great Seventies inspired prog with wonderful vintage keyboards 3) Pallas-The Dreams Of Men - Perhaps their best work, splendid guitar play, very distinctive vocals and great Moog Taurus bass pedals and Mellotron flights 4) Salem Hill-Mimi's Magical Moment - Beautiful and varied prog from the USA, a band to dicover 5) Nemo-Immersion Publique - Live - One of the most overlooked new French progrock bands, check them out, what a dynamic and alternating prog |

Nothing that was released in 2005 really floated my boat that much.I can only include 4 albums on my list: Kate Bush - Aerial (4.5 stars) Glass Hammer - The Inconsolable Secret (3.5 stars) Kayak - Nostradamus,The Fate of Man (3 stars) Dream Theater - Octavarium (4 stars)
Plus a whole load of dissapointments.I hope 2005 isn't some sort of watershed year where prog took a permanent dive.It does seem that many of the newer English prog festivals that were in existence the previous year just couldn't substain enough interest so didn't happen at all in 2005, which is worrying. Anyway in 2006 I look forward to Muse taking the world by storm plus new albums by IQ and Magenta hopefully.

| I have to admit to not hearing that many new albums in 2005 but of those I did, I was impressed by TMV - Frances the Mute, and disappointed by Dream Theater's Octavarium. |
