I suppose I could add Porcupine Tree to my list. I was aware of them back in 1998 when Stupid Dream came out. Steven Wilson came across in interview as very aloof (so nothing has changed lol) but I didn't understand the music. Was a very slow burner although when Deadwing came out I was fully 'in' at that time and purchased the re-issue for Stupid Dream. Loved it. Then saw them play live a few times (once just before FOABP) and there was a real buzz going round. Seeing them on The Incident tour probably even topped that. Didn't bother with the recent reformation and tour that went with the new album although I quite like it (not as much as Deadwing and In Absentia but those are perfection)

In the 1990's I had my first, relatively short period of discovering of the classic UK prog scene. But pre the online reality we've been used to as a natural part of our lives in the last 20+ years or so, I soon met a dead end (+ most of the more or less random prog-bands I tried, simply failed to connect). I'll start with the bands you mention that I was already into in the 90's and still like.
Air, Aphex Twin, Belle and Sebastian, Broadcast, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, Mr. Bungle, Portishead, Radiohead, Stereolab, Swans, Talk Talk, Tortoise... Along with contemporaries like Ween, PJ Harvey, Tori Amos... at the time they probably defined me more than Prog Rock. But I was getting into everything from 20th century classical music, Minimalism, Baroque era, Early Music, old folk & world music as well. No jazz for me just yet. Here's some favorites discovered much later. Not a whole lot comes to mind really: Non Credo Godspeed You! Black Emperor The Necks Rabih Abou-Khalil Rachel's Morte Macabre Trembling Strain Pram Slowdive +Sonny Sharrock - Ask the Ages |

Most 90s acts I know and love, I know (and love) indeed from the 90s. Here's some I found out about later (again assuming that my system has dated them correctly):
Slint - Anekdoten - Miranda Sex Garden - Bark Psychosis - Aphex Twin - Cartoon - Gastr del Sol (*) - Karda Estra (*) - Propellerheads - The Fireman - Otomo Yoshihide - The Necks - Fishmans (*) (*) By recommendation of this forum.
