Modern fantastic prog/psych/space rock: First Band From Outer Space, Acid Mothers Temple, Circle, Polytoxicomane Philharmonie, The Spacious Mind, Birds And Buildings, Diagonal, Hypnos 69, Vespero, Earthless, Farflung, F/i, Quarkspace & Seven That Spells.

For anyone who likes Scale the Summit or prog metal in general, this album is both fantastic and free.

I found about this new band called Chain Romeo. It's very experimental. Highly recommend it. They have a bunch of songs up on myspace.com/chainromeo

Now the question is how I get their cd. I can't find them anywhere. Maybe they don't have a label.

A third band I'd like to suggest is not prog, but they are prog related IMHO. It is Neurosis - http://www.neurosis.com/ They are from Oakland, California. They have a hardcore basis but they develpoed to much more than that. They started as Hardcore which can be heard on their first album - Pain Of Mind. WHat comes after this is much more complex, filled with rage and anger, power and more.

Funny how fate plays tricks with your head. I was listening to Neu! on Spotify when I read this post, and  had searched for the band without the exclamation point, so the word 'neu' was still in the search field. You know what, I just added 'rosis' to it and voila! 


Interesting stuff indeed. I am not such a big fan of metal, Sleepytime Gorilla and Mr. Bungle being the exception. But this stuff really has some potential, even if I am bit put off by the" Korn" sound...

Another fantastic band to recommend is Sky Architect.  Their debut album, Excavations of the Mind is fantastic and I honestly have a feeling that this band will be around for a while with how good they are.

Just ran across the video for Quandary - Penumbra (i think) and am blown away! Awesome recommendation! If you like Symphony X or Dream Theater, then check out this band. I'm sold on the first listen!

Alot of people remember chicago for their 80s cheesy stuff, but they were AMAZING writers back in the day. They wouldnt always wow you with crazy time sigs, but they made up for it with great writing.

Gnidrolog. Older prog fans are probably familiar with them, but I discovered them only recently. I'm actually surprised they aren't mentioned here more often. I mean, I think Lady Lake has all the makings of a classic prog album, but it still took me several years to discover them.

I recommend Guided By Voices/Robert Pollard, although not full blown prog, his lo-fi indie sound often shows progressive qualities and besides, Pollard is just a great song writer.

I'll second Jean Luc Ponty... the albums Enigmatic Ocean, Mystical Adventures & The Gift of TIme were my faves back in the day. Theres a nice Youtube vid of the track Mirage at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKkMvBvyqvE

My own recommendation is England's  Garden Shed. Yes, Gentle Giant & early Genesis fans should love it but it stands on its own merits as a neglected masterpiece. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5McZO7EXRHw

Dropshard - Anywhere But Home

The debut album is released on Sonic Vista on February 15th. Comprising the Anywhere But Home suite plus bonus track Freedom Supermarket.

I have the promotional copy of this album and it is a major statement of intent with some fantastic compositional work. Although a concept album it veers between Riverside and maybe more traditional prog such as Genesis.

If you like Neoprogressive i Recomand this band: la Tulipe Noire, the style is Gothic prog rock with some early Marillion influence.
