I really liked "Svefn-g-englar" by Sigur Ros. It was very calming and I like that.

I really liked both of the Swans songs.

I liked the Ciśnienie songs.
I was in-between on the Art Zoyd songs.

Thank you for these suggestions! I will definitely look into the swans albums that those songs came from and Sigur Ros and Ciśnienie.

From what Archisorcerus said:
I liked Jurassic Shift by Ozric Tentacles.

Archisorcerus recommended "Jurassic Shift" by Ozric Tentacles and "Cat's Eye/Yellow Fever (Running)" by Van der Graaf Generator. You said you liked Jurassic Shift by Ozric Tentacles, suggesting that you didn't like "Cat's Eye/Yellow Fever (Running)" by Van der Graaf Generator. So I'll suggest "A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers" by Van der Graaf Generator, which has a very different sound to the track you appear to have rejected:

If "A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers" doesn't appeal to you, then I will suggest "Scorched Earth" by Van der Graaf Generator, again a rather different sound:

And if "Scorched Earth" doesn't appeal to you, then it would seem that Van der Graaf Generator are not for you.

I listened to the songs you send and I liked them for the most part. There was a minute or two during "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" later in the song I didn't like, but other than that it was pretty good. I had actually forgotten what that song was and I listened to it and liked it. I don't know what I was doing when I didn't put it on there (meaning I didn't like it). Thank you for the recommendation!

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

In the category of progressive metal/rock operas:

-Ayreon (Netherlands),

-Flaming Row (Germany),

-Majestic (USA),

-Pictorial Wand (Norway).

I listened to Ayreon and thought it was in-between. Although the last song that was in-between for me ("selling England by the Pound") I ended up liking after future listens.

I listened to Flaming Row and liked it, although it was almost too heavy for my tastes.

I listened to Majestic and it was just too heavy for me.
I listened to Pictorial Wand and I really liked it. Its heavy sections were a definitely a "bit" heavy for my tastes, but the way it was interwoven with slower and more delicate sections (which I generally enjoyed more) was really beautiful.

Camel - anything and everything from the 1973 debut to 1981 Nude + Stationary Traveller (1984) + Rajaz (1999) & A Nod and a Wink (2002).

I listened to a couple albums by Camel and it isn't my favorite, but its pretty good. Thanks!

A link for Offworld (Belgium) (Psychedelic Space-Metal/Rock):

Some Circles Are Square | Offworld | Tom Tee (bandcamp.com)

For the question in relation to the vocals of Anekdoten, listen to Landberk (Sweden).

And here are some "new" artists of my collection influenced by King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator and dark progressive rock bands:

-Discipline (USA) and Matthew Parmenter (solo),

-Eyestrings (USA) and Ryan Parmenter (solo),

-Gargamel (Norway).

I listened to Landberk and really liked it! Enough to go see the prices of their CD/Vinyls on discogs. Their CDs cost $40! Thats the price of 2 "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven" vinyls! So I probably won't be getting their CD/Vinyls anytime soon.

I listened to Discipline and liked it.
I listened to Eyestrings and I really liked it. I am definitely going to look at CD/Vinyl prices.
I listened to Gargamel's latest album on spotify and I did not like it.

Thank you for the recommendations!

Until All The Ghost Are Gone by Anekdoten is really, really good in my opinion.

In regards to neo-prog, I love Forsaken Innocence by Drifting Sun.

Until all the ghosts are gone is honestly one of the best albums ever made in my opinion.

I listened to that album and it was pretty good! Thanks!
