This would have kept him around - it even made it to my Album Of The Year 2020 as the sole Neo-Prog act. They were just added to PA (you're welcome Wink)

I think Pendragon's album is the only neo-prog i listened to last year. 
Airbag is neo-prog here on PA, I kinda disagree, but they did a good album last year. 

I haven't explored much neo-prog lately, I don't love the genre like I used to in the past. Oh well... Embarrassed

HEY! Laughing stock are at position 3 on my AOTY 2020 - forgot they are actually listed as Neo-Prog at PA (phew, and I'm supposed to be the Neo expert here! LOL).

And even more phew, ZIO are #20 on my AOTY list! Embarrassed (And I even added ZIO recently with the rest of the Neo team!)

Plenty of Neo-Prog at 2020's AOTY, it appears Tongue

It says his last visit was on Dec. 6th of 2020. He posted for a full five months then flew the coop. Kind of strange to just leave all of a sudden like that. Oh well.

A whole slew of great albums by Albion from Poland, Galahad has a few killer releases. Lifesigns is brilliant . Mystery from Canada, Satellite/Collage from Poland again. Drifting Sun has 5 real good albums. Nine Stones Close /Riversea is great as well. Many more.....
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

I think the only neo prog album that made my top 20 was Magenta's Masters of Illusion.

Other ones I enjoyed from 2020 were:
Windom End - Perspective Views
Yacobs - Beautiful
Esthesis - The Awakening
Argus - The Outsider
Airbag - A Day at the Beach

I am trying a neo-prog listening marathon, let's see how may albums in a row I can enjoy. 
I've started with Jadis' debut album. 
Second album: Unicorn - Emotional Wasteland (1995)
Third Album: Mad Puppet - Cube (2000) 
Fourth album: Satellite - Nostalgia (2009)
Fifth album: first listen to Clepsydra - The Gap (2019)

The only 'neo-prog' I play currently is IQ....  a band that I have come to like quite a lot over the last 10 years.
I also have Arena-Contagion and Pendragon -Masquerade Overtyure but they don't grab me like IQ.
And of course I have several Marillion lp's.
For those who really know 'neo-prog',,,,which bands and specific lp's are worth getting into from the last 20 years? The best of the best?

If you played "more than meets the eye" by Jadis that's not their debut album. Their debut album(from 1989) is sort of obscure and is self titled.

I posted it in the "what are you listening?" thread. Their debut from 1989.

On the Neo-Prog page here at PA..the current team recommended these as representing the genre:
Marillion-Script for a Jester's Tear
Collage-Moonshine
Satellite-A Street Between Sunrise and Sunset
Sylvan-Posthumous Silence
Frost-Milliontown

Would the NeoProg fans here agree with this.....?

All of them are quite brilliant, but everyone here should at least acquaint the,selves with Posthumous Silence, a classic of any genre.

No..they were 5 representative albums in that genre according to the 3 members who wrote that page.
I would be interested in what you and Lazland like as your all time favorite neo prog albums.

Well....I am a fan of IQ..all periods ,but especially Dark Matter and Frequency.
I have Arena- Contagion...it's ok. Pendragon-Masquerade Overture...again it's ok.
I have Marillion-Script , Fugazi, Afraid Of Sunlight, and a 2 cd compilation of both eras...all pretty good.
but so far IQ has been the one that grabs my attention.

I'm listening to Sylvan -Posthumous Silence right now...I like it so far....(but is that the drink talking...I'm currently drinking a Black Russian with a hint of peanut butter whiskey added)  Wink
