-Taipuva Luotisuora (Finland),
-Vespero (Russia),
-Weedpecker (Poland).

You can also listen to Ozric Tentacles and Kingston Wall, in the same style of progresssive rock. Wink

I listened to some songs by Hidria Spacefolk (specifically in the album "HDRSF-1") and they were pretty good. I have been busy today so I will definitely listen to more of them later.

I couldn't find Offworld on Spotify. I looked online and couldn't find them.
I listened to Quantum Fantay and, like Hidria Spacefolk, it was pretty good and I will listen to more by them later.
I listened to Taipuva Luotisuora and I liked them. Will listen to more later.
I listened to Vespero and they were good as well. Will listen to more later.
I listened to Weedpecker and they were pretty good. Definitely the best thing you recommended in that reply! Thanks for the recommendations!
I am happy that you like my recommendations. Wink

I think that you should listen to these albums of Elder (USA): Omens and Innate Passage.

I listened to 2 albums by each of those people, which is why it took so long to respond, but I didn't really like and of their songs. Sorry. Maybe if I listen to the albums more I will, but I likely won't do that for a little while.

A link for Offworld (Belgium) (Psychedelic Space-Metal/Rock):


For the question in relation to the vocals of Anekdoten, listen to Landberk (Sweden).

And here are some "new" artists of my collection influenced by King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator and dark progressive rock bands:

-Discipline (USA) and Matthew Parmenter (solo),
-Eyestrings (USA) and Ryan Parmenter (solo),
-Gargamel (Norway).

Until All The Ghost Are Gone by Anekdoten is really, really good in my opinion. 

In regards to neo-prog, I love Forsaken Innocence by Drifting Sun.

I listened to Landberk and really liked it! Enough to go see the prices of their CD/Vinyls on discogs. Their CDs cost $40! Thats the price of 2 "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven" vinyls! So I probably won't be getting their CD/Vinyls anytime soon.

I listened to Discipline and liked it.
I listened to Eyestrings and I really liked it. I am definitely going to look at CD/Vinyl prices.
I listened to Gargamel's latest album on spotify and I did not like it.

Thank you for the recommendations!

Until all the ghosts are gone is honestly one of the best albums ever made in my opinion.

I listened to that album and it was pretty good! Thanks!

I listened to Ayreon and thought it was in-between. Although the last song that was in-between for me ("selling England by the Pound")  I ended up liking after future listens.
I listened to Flaming Row and liked it, although it was almost too heavy for my tastes.
I listened to Majestic and it was just too heavy for me.
I listened to Pictorial Wand and I really liked it. Its heavy sections were a definitely a "bit" heavy for my tastes, but the way it was interwoven with slower and more delicate sections (which I generally enjoyed more) was really beautiful.

Archisorcerus recommended "Jurassic Shift" by Ozric Tentacles and "Cat's Eye/Yellow Fever (Running)" by Van der Graaf Generator. You said you liked Jurassic Shift by Ozric Tentacles, suggesting that you didn't like "Cat's Eye/Yellow Fever (Running)" by Van der Graaf Generator. So I'll suggest "A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers" by Van der Graaf Generator, which has a very different sound to the track you appear to have rejected:
 
 
 
If "A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers" doesn't appeal to you, then I will suggest "Scorched Earth" by Van der Graaf Generator, again a rather different sound:

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

I listened to the songs you send and I liked them for the most part. There was a minute or two during "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" later in the song I didn't like, but other than that it was pretty good. I had actually forgotten what that song was and I listened to it and liked it. I don't know what I was doing when I didn't put it on there (meaning I didn't like it). Thank you for the recommendation!
