Bump. Any new recommendations? I'm looking for more adventurous and modern prog.

Also, to be clear, I do remember listening to Nil and to Battles, but I don't remember if I had listened to Secret Chiefs 3. I probably had but I could have been not entirely truthful about having listened to it at the time. If so, my apologies for having spoken deceitfully as I was much younger back then.

On a more positive note, though, at this point I think I'd very much enjoy listening to some new, innovative, out-of-control prog. Recommendations are appreciated if for nothing else than the effort to help a less seasoned listener out.

Without reading back through the last 2 pages, what do you determine 'Modern/New' to mean?
The last 20 years, 10 years, this year?

Are you familiar with Gordian Knot? Check out the album Emergent.

I can't help you. I love Wobbler and Neal Morse and The Tangent and Big Big Train and The Flower Kings and Transatlantic. The music you enjoy just flies right over my head...

Here's what I'm looking for basically:

An overly emotive and "darker" Foxtrot (looking at you IQ's Dark Matter) or a reiteration of Close To The Edge (From Silence To Somewhere) does not do that in any mileage. Those sounds were cutting-edge for their time, but now in my opinion. Any sub-genre of progressive music is fine as long as you think it fits this parameter.

Don't worry about it. I have grown to enjoy bands like Big Big Train, but what I really want in this thread are bands and/or albums that really experiment with pushing the envelope and break into new ground. And I don't mind listening to non-rock-based stuff either such as Fusion/Jazz, RIO, and Math/Post-prog.

Yes I read it. And your subject 'Modern/New" denotes a time component, or don't you recognize that? All I was asking for was a more definitive answer on that issue.
That aside...you didn't even answer my question on Gordian Knot.
Good luck on your search.

My apologies for not responding accurately. That was my mistake. Perhaps "modern/new" in this setting would mean anything within this new mellennium? 2000s and onwards? On another note, I have not listened to Gordian Knot. Thank you for the rec though!

black midi is the most exciting band I've discovered in the last 2 years.

I'd also add two more bands from the same new London scene.

Black Country New Road



Squid

I agree. I'm listening to their album RIGHT NOW. I've gone through most of the songs and like what I hear. Very fascinating stuff.

I'm really digging A Formal Horse lately
https://aformalhorse.bandcamp.com/

But I have no idea is that fits the OP's criteria. 

Some others are Bent Knee and Thank You Scientist
