I am going to see them play in London in May, and would love to review this new album first.

I recommend israeli classic rock for any prog fan since there is a lot of progginess going on:
*Gronich & Caspi - Behind the Sounds (Avant masterpiece)
*Schlomo Gronich - Why Didin't You Tell Me? (Eclectic awesomeness... reminds me of early Zappa)
*Schlomo Gronich - Cotton Candy (Eclectic prog masterpiece.... should be considered in this website....)
*Ktzat Acheret (Another eclectic prog masterpiece)
*Tzlil Mechuvan (More eclectic awesomeness)
*Tamuz - The Orange Season Is Over (classic rock masterpiece with a proggy twist)
*Sheshet (fusion masterpiece)
*Shem-Tov Levi and Schlomo Gronich - The Family Album (great eclectic album.... with some Gentle Giantish sounds)
*Yoni Rechter - Intentions (crossover prog.... amazing mix of israeli pop/jazz/symphonic/rock)
*Schlomo Ydov - The First Time (often compared with Camel.... great symph prog)
*Apocalypse (incredible psych band)
*Atmosphera - Lady of Shalott (good Yes clone)
*The Churchills (proto-prog psych with Mediterranean elements)
*Rechter, Kenner & Levi - 18 Octaves (israeli prog rock masterpiece)
*Danny Ben-Israel - Bullsh*t 3 1-4 and The Katmandu Sessions (if you think that Zappa is intense....wait 'till you listen to this)
*Arik Einstein & Shalom Chanoch - Shablool (psych proto-prog)
*Kaveret - Poogy VePita (Classic rock humorous, conceptual and theatric band with some proggy elements in some songs)
*Matti Caspi (mix of variety of styles including...but not limited to... jazz, bossa nova, classical, israeli folk, israeli pop, etc. with an occasional rock touch)
*Shem-Tov Levi (highly accomplished fusion piano and flute player)
*Yehudit Ravitz (Israeli folk singer with an amazing voice and some occasional jazz and rock elements)

'Tranquility' from England. They released 2 LP's, the self-titles 'Tranquility' and the stellar "Silver". Odd metered Pop/Prog ala 'Jellyfish' with great songwriting and 5 part harmonies. Hard, if not impossible to find; but a group that deserves overdue recognition. Anyone ever heard them ?

Oh My God I'm here on page 63. I just wanted to give a shout to Phil Keaggy. He is so talented  He absolutely shreads on guitar.

...and another thing about this band, Tabula Smaragdina. They have a song published on the Colossus/Musea 4CDbox set called Dante's Purgatorio. I've read on their website that they will take a part in some other Musea/Colossus project CDs in the near future such as Dante's Paradiso and The Tribute to The Flower Kings

Hi Guys,
 
I'd like to recommend a fresh release from Musea Records, the wonderful debut CD of a new Hungarian band called TABULA SMARAGDINA. Their album can be described as symphonic prog, lots of mellotrons, hammond and heavy guitar sounds. Very vintage but yet very modern too. They have strong Flower Kings/Platypus/Yes infuences.
 
It is interesting about this band that it is a project formed by 2 hungarian musicians:
Krivánik Dániel - keyboards, Zsigó László - drums)  with Bogáti-Bokor Ákos (leader of Yesterdays) who plays guitars, bass, additional keyboards and sings the leads on the album.
 
Fans of Yesterdays will love this CD but - IMO symphonic prog lovers will dig this CD too.
 
The CD has some enhancements for PC-s, photos, lyrics (in Hungarian and English), videos, photos.
 
It is available from www.musearecords.com
 
The band has a Myspace page: www.myspace.com/smaragdina and an official website in English: www.smaragdina.hu

I suggest fans of Pain of Salvation and Ayreon to check out the album "Painting on Glass" by The 3rd and the Mortal. It's quite an underrated album, I'd say. :)

I HIGHLY recommend the new Shadow Gallery album, Digital Ghosts!  Its the best prog rock album I've bought in years!  Every single track is outrageous.< id="gwProxy" ="">< ="jsCall;" id="jsProxy" ="">

5bridgeS- the Thomas Tracks is an overlooked album of 09, that really needs all the praise it can get! This blew me away from the first listen. Retro-prog at its bestClap
