Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best I can

Satellite is original and tasteful. Complex? Well, this is not Magma nor Zero Hour but Satellite is a band with a defying and relaxing sound and I think making this high quality music is not easy, so I think Satellite is Complex.
Defying? Indeed one of the most defying bands in Neo-prog world!! Highly recommended for Symphonic Prog lovers!!!

Arena are too underrated, I think most people don't even know them well but they just put in the same box with all the other supposed "Neo-Prog" bands.
In the beggining Arena may have been very similar in style to bands like Marillion and maybe Genesis, but since the "The Visitor" album, they have forged their own style (just listen to songs like "The Hanging Tree" or "The Butterfly Man", I haven't heard any other bands doing things like that). And the almost 20 minute epic "Moviedrome" is espectacular, and in my opinion one of the most coherent, and best composed songs of this prog-repeated length in the history of prog rock.
Pepper's Ghost, may not be the best example of this, since I consider it to be one of the lesser Arena albums, but listen to the essential albums: The Visitor, Immortal? and Contagion. These albums are all excellent in quality and are worth being considered among the best that prog rock has produced after the 70's.
And plus, Clive Nolan writes some of the best lyrics I've ever read in my life, by any band.
The category "Neo-Prog" is just another stupid prejudice in the end, like all category's, genre's and labels.
"Label me, and you deny me." That's what I think.

Personally, I've always though The Visitor, Immortal? and Contagion were too dark and too close to meodern rock (except Movidrome, of course and several exceptions here and there). I much prefer the Pendragon-esque sweeping style of music earlier on.

Why is the wind visible, and is it metaphorical? Sorry, I digress. |
I don't have any of their albums, but on their website I've listened to some of their songs. They're not terrible or amazing, but I'd put them on the level of Twelfth Night (for me 3/5 as a band rating) barring hearing Narcissus goes to the Moon or the debut.

Galleon is really great, quite obscure though.

Marillion for me, too. Without a doubt, they can rival any band as being innovative and unique. I'm talking about the Hogarth era, too. Anyone who says that the Fish era is more unique need only to listen and watch Fish's best Gabriel impersonation. Hogarth copied nobody.

Marilllion, they are truly original and exciting. They're pretty much the only neo-prog I listen to and like.
