What do people think of the new Oneira release, "Hyperconscious":


Really digging it. Take a bit of symphonic, a bit of RPI, a bit of prog metal, even a bit of Rush, and mix it all together. "Feel-good" prog, nothing edgy, or dark, or overly clever... but done very well.

Pymlico    Guiding Lignt
Electric Orange    Volume 10
Fractile Mirror    Garden of Ghosts

I also got some good stuff from artists I was already familiar with some thanks to progstreaming some due to a good word from artists I already knew.
Renaissance    Symphony of Light
Rothery, Steve    Ghosts of Pripyat, The
Tears For Fears    The Seeds Of Love
Pineapple Thief, The    Magnolia
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I agree. Phideaux is actually remarkably original considering how retro he comes off. I mean that in the most complimentary manner conceivable btw. I really dig his style and am never in doubt when I hear him. The vocals, but also the guitars and, especially, the piano add an unassuming uniqueness to his music.

Finding similar artists is actually very hard, but I do think the Swedish band Barrett Elmore comes pretty close with their debut 'Woodlands':

That what I was afraid of, but thought that maybe I'm missing something, maybe some band is out there, that I've never heard of.
Thanks for the recommendation, I'll try to look into them.

Maybe someone could recommend some bands similar to Phideaux? I tried looking for similar artists on many sites, but with no luck (let's be honest, haken sounds nothing like it). Thanks!

Lots of amazing discoveries, this is a very valuable thread !!


Here's "Porcelaine": the melody of that home-made song that narrowly escaped from deletion on the net, came back in my mind constantly without me knowing where I'd first heard it...It took weeks before I'd think of the right link !!


And Mermaid's Crimson Bough: I'm really fond of the tempo change like in 0h42

Here is one that I think everybody should check out. Necromancy's newest release "A Glimpse of Possible Endings." 


At his point if you want a copy you have to email the band at [email protected]

I recommend The Psychic Paramount - a New York-based band for fans of really raw, intense, brain-melting psych-rock.

Unique band from Scotland - The Blue Ship (before they were called "Brotherhood of The Blue Ship"). When I first heard them, I listened to the album three times in a row.
In PA there is no mention of them.

Was anyone else OCD enough to go through most of the top 100 albums in every sub-genre listed in the archives? Was able to quickly tell if I liked something or not by consulting YouTube, which had a track from every single release without exception, no matter how obscure. Waded through an ocean of well-rated drek, but found a river of gems, more than enough to make it worthwhile. (The work of RPI fans in hunting down and publicizing so much stuff I'd have zero chance of otherwise encountering is especially to be commended.) It's breathtaking what this site has accomplished, simply amazing.

I LOVE the voice on Lois Spinetta. Love Spinetta Jade, Invisible (especially El Jardin, which goes on my 'Top 10 albums'), and yet I've never heard Artaud. Thank you. SO good.

Tim Bowness's-- Abandoned Dancehall Dreams

Those who are unfamiliar with TB's sound, check out the track 'No Celebrations.'
It's a bonus track off OSI's- Blood album. Gives you a good idea how well this guy can sing.
Overall his album is a big surprise for me in 2014. It's up there with some of other strong releases.
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

I recently discovered an album titled "No tengas meed," by a project called Kant Freud Kafka. Very good album with lots of classical and sympho prog influences.
