Just joining this thread, but I've become quite focused on Neo Prog over the last year, so my recommendations are going to be rather specific:

Three from the 1980s that I think should not be missed:
Mr. Sirius - Barren Dream (1987)
Galadriel - Muttered Promises from an Ageless Pond (1988)
Solstice - The Silent Dance (1984)

Ones that are absolutely essential to my collection:
Edison's Children - The Final Breath Before November (2013)
Mystery - The World Is a Game (2012)
Mystery - Delusion Rain (2015)
Tony Patterson - Equations of Meaning (2016)
Nine Stones Close - One Eye on the Sunrise (2012)
The Psychedelic Ensemble - Dream of the Magic Jongleur (2011)
Airbag - The Greatest Show on Earth (2013)
Wobbler - From Silence to Somewhere (2017)
Wobbler - Rites at Dawn (2011)
Violeta de Outono - Volume 7 (2007)
Magenta - Seven (2004)
Moth Vellum - Moth Vellum  (2007)
Collage - Moonshine (1994)
Mr. Gil - Skellig (2010)
United Progressive Fraternity - Planetary Overload, Part 1 - Loss (2019)
Ellesmere - II (2019)
Unitopia - The Garden (2008)
Galasphere 347 - Galashpere 347 (2018)
Flower Kings - Flower Power (1999)
Moogarden - Songs from the Lighthouse (2008)
Karfagen - Echoes from Within the Dragons Island (2019)
Vitral - Entre as Estrelas (2017)
Flicker - How Much Are You Willing to Forget? (2013)
Mantra Vega - The Illusion's Reckoning (2016)
Silhouette - The World Is Flat and Other Alternative Facts (2017)
SIIILK - Endless Mystery (2017)
I and Thou - Speak (2012)
Cirrus Bay - The Search for Joy (2014)
Knight Area - Under a New Sign (2007)
The Flower Kings - Space Revolver (2000)
The Flower Kings - Stardust We Are (1997)
The Psychedelic Ensemble - The Sunstone (2015)
The Psychedelic Ensemble - Mother's Rhymes (2019)
The Psychedelic Ensemble - the Tale of the Golden King (2013)
Thence - We Are Left With a Song (2016)
Clepsydra - Alone (2001)
Quidam - Quidam (1996)
Sanhedrin - Ever After (2011)
Satellite - A Street Between Sunrise and Sunset (2003)
Collage - Basnie (1990)
Albion - Wabiåc Cienie (2005)
Magenta - Metamorphosis (2008)
Quidam - Alone Together (2007)

If that list isn't enough, I could provide others that I consider "fringe Neo Prog" like Believe, Mother Turtle, Big Big Train, Sylvan, Aisles, Emperor Norton, Canturbe, Cast, Soup, and The Ghosts of Jupiter.

Good luck!

Yeah, great list - the Flower Kings aren't neo are they?
Anyway, I'm glad to see a lot of neo from recent years in your list! As I might perhaps possibly said before, we maybe on the verge of a new wave of prog!!! Big smile
Sorry, I just feel I haven't said it quite right.

A thought that just occurred: why is the Psychedelic Ensemble so named? They sound much more neo to me.

I do like the latest Pendragon release. Anyone noticed the connection between The Waterboys Whole of The Moon and the track 360 degrees? Uncanny!

It's a great album, the only one that really rivals Virus by Haken this year. My favourite track is Truth and Lies.

IQ is a good start also Pallas, Marillion is already a classic, Pendragon has its moments, Arena came later but it is a band to consider!

Well, it's the second person I've had to welcome to PA today! Big smile
Those are all classic bands, even the fairly new (by neo stardards) Arena. Glad to see another neo fan here, there are too few.

^And the Psychedelic Ensemble for me. Wink
Only thing is, Wobbler is not neo, and neither, I think, are the Flower Kings. Neo has become a far more diverse genre these days, it's much more difficult to classify it. For instance, when I first heard Sanguine Hum, I thought they were post progressive. However, they're classed as neo here and that's what everyone calls them (neo). Is it because post prog is a dying genre, but was in the 80s about the same time as neo broke through, so it's become part of neo prog now? Or is this a load of claptrap?
