Some favorites of mine...
Ache - Pictures From Cyclus 7
Amos Key - First Key
Earth & Fire - To The World Of The Future
Ethos - Ardour
Ethos - Open Up
Finch - Glory Of The Inner Force
Finch - Beyond Expression
Finch - Galleons Of Passion
Novalis - Konzerte (live)
Sebastian Hardie - Four Moments

These are definitely favorites and I've listened to them many times over the years. 
All Finch albums would have to come first followed closely by both Ethos albums.
Earth & Fire and Sebastian Hardie would follow up.

Kotebel are outstanding. I had the privilege of seeing them perform live at ProgDay 2014, and after the gig I found out that their founder, Carlos Plaza, lives very close to me (he moved to the US from Spain some time ago). Great band, and lovely people.

Nice oneBeer
Let me know what you think about it will you? I think you'll enjoy the piano and keyboard work. Very huge and bombastic sounding. 
The drums though are perhaps my favourite contributor. This guy can really play.

Maybe I'll look into it. From the reviews I've read online, it does seem as if they've veered slightly away from the raw sound of Ouroboros, which is why I haven't bought it yet I suppose.

I downloaded Kotebel's Concerto for Piano and Electric Ensemble recently. I am really enjoying it. They bring a lot of different styles together, and the result is quite entertaining. They are very good at working a motif out in classical style and have compositional skills that I would call complex but not overbearing.

oh good then we can even more carnage with new topics being posted in the wrong place
 
this place needs to be simplified not made more complex. I would get rid of most of the forums
 
Prog Lounge (music discussion for ALL PA artists)
Lists and Polls (no discussion allowed)
Non PA artists Lounge (general music discussion)
 
that is really all is needed as far as the public forum side of the site goes

The band is AERODROM ("Airport"), the LP is Kad misli mi vrludaju ("When My Thoughts Wander"), the place is former Yugoslavia (Zagreb), releasing year is 1979 - straight in the middle of post-punk / new wave hysteria in former Yugoslavia.

M27Barney asking what connecting us all to this wonderful symphonic progressive rock, its not the list you have its within the inner music forms within your opened mind. or we could just take Prognosticmind`s points on borad... which is working for me...

I thought symphonic prog was the minimal requirement? LOL

Kidding of course. I'd say a good 85% of the progressive music I love would be classified as symphonic.

It's obvious I'm a fan of Symphonic over any other sub-genre, that's why I stay in the team since the start.

But I don't agree in the creation of a "Primus inter Pares" genre, Progressive Rock is an entity and it should remain as one genre because it's differences is what makes it so damn great, no genre is better than another, it's just a matter of taste.

Iván

well, i personally would be fine with having its own forum.
