Univers Zero (if you haven't heard them already) makes some nice avant prog chamber music. Their symphonic in more of a orchestral and chamber focused environment.

I would also recommend checking out After Crying's Megalázottak És Megszomorítottak.

I absolutely adore Univers Zero. This subgenre that I knew with Zappa became one of my favorites together with Univers Zero. I just looked at After Crying's Megalázottak És Megszomorítottak album and I absolutely loved it. Thank you so much. :>

A lot of Zeuhl kind of splits the difference between the two, with big expansive, bombastic arrangements a la symph and dissonance, experimentation and jazz leanings a la avant-prog. "K.A." by Magma and "Mathematical Mother" by Universal Totem Orchestra would be good starting points.

As I said above, I found Mathematical Mother on the discarded site and I loved it. I knew about magma before, but I didn't wrap it up. I looked at their songs saying that there was such a group that went through it again recently and I don't know what exactly has changed, but I can say my mood these days for this subgenre and the group. For the last week, every time I tell my friends "Look what I'll show you", I introduced them to this group.

EDIT:
Another fantastic choice just came to mind.
Czeslaw Niemen - Aerolit

ELP is definitely a great band. Especially tarkus is just great. However, as I discovered the group, it was extremely pleasant to find even a piano concerto. Aerolit, on the other hand, was a very good album that I happily added to my list. Thank you very much.

I need to say, I agree. It did not feel very different in structure from symphonic progs, in which the guitar reminds itself of its existence by being more audible than soft. Although it wasn't the one I was looking for because I love the symphonic prog, it was a suggestion I happily used.

Knowing my tastes in music, if Kaipa were listed as Avant Prog, then I doubt if I would've recommended them. Tongue

Great album, even it doesn't seem so Symphonic to me.
                      quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond
