Funny seeing someone mention "The Earth and Everything in it."  I went to college in the town where the main dude of the band lived!

Some bands I have found this past year that you all may be interested in are:

O'Brother (Kinda post/rock with more approachable sound): http://obrother.bandcamp.com/album/endless-light
Stare at the Clouds (alternative/prog metal): http://stareattheclouds.bandcamp.com/album/this-clear-divide

Quiet Child (a bit like Porcupine Tree): http://quietchild1.bandcamp.com/album/the-ever-present-shadow

The Earth and Everything in it: (what I like to call Coldplay alt rock/metal) http://theearthandeverythinginit.bandcamp.com/album/celebrations

Vulkan (kinda like Karnivool, but of course not as good. Listen to consequences of ignorance): http://vulkanband.bandcamp.com/album/observants

Four Stroke Barren (similar to Vola): http://fourstrokebaron.bandcamp.com/album/king-radio


Glass Kites (softer prog rock): http://glasskites.bandcamp.com/album/glass-kites


Keoma (a bit of power metal with alt metal): http://keoma.bandcamp.com/album/synthesis

Raptor (a bit generic, but catchy none the less): http://raptormusicnl.bandcamp.com/album/raptor

Please keep the suggestions coming in, i want this to be a brain trust of great similar music.
 
PROG ON!!!

God damn!!! The Mars Chronicles are crazy good! Young Cardinals are great too, lately I've been getting into more atmospheric stuff so they're a great find. 

Just a quick update on some stuff I've found in the past few months:










Please keep the suggestions coming. It's nice to see this post and find new bands.

Another Aussie find I've come across is Plini.  

His latest track is impressive and really grows on you. Full album out Aug 26th.

Here's another from Mars Chronicles.  It's a drum playthrough, but I really love this track:

Good find, sir!  I'll be digging into 22 a bit more this week.

Here's my latest find, Young Cardinals.  They're a French atmospheric rock band with some killer heavy grooves. 


They're on the same label as Mars Chronicles, an amazing french prog-metal band.

Glad to help you find some new music! Likewise I've been playing The Earth and Everything in it from your recommendation and will add it to my playlist.
I'm regularly hunting out new music and have worked out a couple of good approaches:
- Spotify weekly recommendations are generally quite good
- This site & progressiveears, threads like this and the new releases thread on progears.
- threads about new releases on bandcamp & eMusic
- This new music blog is excellent:
 
Do post more recommendations you find.

I also saw that you shared Shearwater's new album. I just saw them a month ago in San Francisco and they are just as good live. You have got some great taste in music there my friend.

Thanks - your tastes are similar to mine as I have a number of these bands in my playlist.
 
You might be able to find more bands to your liking in the following thread that I post my 'discoveries' to every month or so.

Jeff Buckley it is. I wish Leprous-and-the-likes would have at least 0.01% of the talent that guy had

With all due respect, it's pretty lame what they're doing with his work.  20 years of rehashed, posthumous releases...the most recent release is simply preying on his fan base, releasing boombox demos with previously released live covers, and calling it a "new album".  And people are buying it...it's #58 on the billboard top 200 right now.

I like Sleepmakeswaves music, but instrumental music is tough for me to grab onto.  Something about the band Heights works for me, though:


Also, I don't recall if the band Rendezvous Point has been brought up yet in this thread.  The drummer apparently played in Leprous, and their sound is similar, but more accessible than Leprous:


Slow build, but worth the wait.

^ Apologies for my ignorance. That's the one - almost identical style and singing voice. I don't like Buckley's music, but I sure do like what CH is doing

I am just getting into Katatonia, and it is just amazing.  They are a group that I would use the word "textures" when describing their sound.
