In my opinion, one of the best prog bands ever is Iamthemorning, and they cannot be mentioned enough:

A brilliant band and worth checking out folks, is a band called Lunar Cape!!

So far released 2 albums...

Just Lunatics - 2015
Lunar Folk Tales - 2017

Both albums are excellent and are Prog/Folk /Crossover   Wink  Though this PA site classifies them as jazz fusion, I disagree Ermm

There is no such thing as Russian prog. It is primarley Bri-ish ok?

Nice keyboard work by Igor Khoroshev!  I would have gone to see their show in Chicago, but I was flying out of town to be married in the US Virgin Islands!!  A good tradeoff, as my bride and I eventually made it backstage to Yes in 2004 & met Rick, Jon, Steve, Alan and Chris!!  RIP Chris Squire!

I'd lve to sprinkle this thread with a few vids here and there, but I can't be bothered with the amount of katja I'm getting today 

 
Yes, that Gourishankar album is good as is the Pandora Snail one.
I had high hopes for Karfagen after their first CD but the second one turned into lift music and I haven't listened to them since, maybe I should?

It is such a wonderful album and one that reignited my love for experimental music. Really interesting modern prog that goes from hard hitting almost Opeth-like riffs to wafting delightful salsa....but hen again it also does these beautiful longstretched soundscapes with flickering electronics and something akin to those monumental kathartic rock swoops you get from really wellcrafted post rock.
How can it have been so long since I last span this baby? Sorry I'm just babbling to myself here

Karfagen? Sure. The most recent one Cosmology is one of the best symph things I've heard all year. Great usage of mellotron and flute within a healthy dosage of blistering prague rock. Hold on...yeah I always mix up these two critters. I am of course thinking of Spanish Kotebel. Heh sorry bout that. Nahh Karfagen is that band Michael just reviewed very favourably, and just by reading through it, knowing your tastes, I'd most definitely go for it

Two that I have enjoyed are neo prog band Apple Pie (influenced by Spock's Beard):

Crossroad (2007) album on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Bo--VR4MEw
The Gates of Never (2013) on Bandcamp: https://applepieband.bandcamp.com/

And another neo prog band, Algabas:

Angels and Demons (2013) on Bandcamp (free download!): https://algabas.bandcamp.com/

Diversion Voice is a prog band from the Russian Federation featuring a sax player that reminds me of the Finnish band KAABEL (e.g. "Channel Pressure")...

Not exactly prog, but I think some here will dig (or already dig) the majestic electronic symphonic music of Mikhail Chekalin:

I'm quite fond of the sole album by Sepsis, A Liturgy of Madness.  Sort of like The Magic Band trying to improvise a Yes album after doing too many mushrooms.

Then there's Horizont who put out two albums in the eighties. Sounded a bit like a cross between Yes and OMD as far as I can remember.

Here's some Toobz for the above, as requested:









Portrait of a Boy sounds better than I remembered it - don't let the haircut put you off!  Might have to pick that one up.

I've been writing to the band & will see if they have any original material to send.  Leonid is the bassist & band leader. 

Cheers, Charles

They can really play I'll give you that. Tight and energetic....and maybe it's because I am not that familiar with Chicago, but to me the music sounds like the stuff Paul Schaeffer did for Dave Letterman on the late show
