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


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 2 albums by each of those people, which is why it took so long to respond, but I didn't really like and of their songs. Sorry. Maybe if I listen to the albums more I will, but I likely won't do that for a little while.

-Vespero (Russia),
-Weedpecker (Poland).

You can also listen to Ozric Tentacles and Kingston Wall, in the same style of progresssive rock. Wink

I listened to some songs by Hidria Spacefolk (specifically in the album "HDRSF-1") and they were pretty good. I have been busy today so I will definitely listen to more of them later.

I couldn't find Offworld on Spotify. I looked online and couldn't find them.
I listened to Quantum Fantay and, like Hidria Spacefolk, it was pretty good and I will listen to more by them later.
I listened to Taipuva Luotisuora and I liked them. Will listen to more later.
I listened to Vespero and they were good as well. Will listen to more later.
I listened to Weedpecker and they were pretty good. Definitely the best thing you recommended in that reply! Thanks for the recommendations!
I am happy that you like my recommendations. Wink

I think that you should listen to these albums of Elder (USA): Omens and Innate Passage.



I listened to those albums and they were quite good! Thanks for the recommendations. You recommend good stuff!

Welcome to PA!!  You've come to the right place. 

Visit this site every day, even several times a day.....it is like a university of prog!!  I considered myself a "master" of prog music, but constantly learn new things, hear of new music, and enjoy other's recommendations! 

Prog is a lifelong pursuit.....the catalog is vast.  Have fun! 

p.s. Genesis "Foxtrot,"  Yes "Close to the Edge" and ELP "Brain Salad Surgery!"

Does anyone here know songs that have vocals like the ones in Anekdoten songs? My favorite part of their songs are the vocals and I am curious if any of you know where I can find similar vocals.

Thanks ! I've got the CD III. And I will try to buy their fourth album. Some kind of mix between stoner and space-rock. Smile

My monthly budget for vinyl has been 1 vinyl a month, but I haven't bought a vinyl in long enough to be able to buy four this month! I bought "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven" by Godspeed You! Black Emperor, "Until All The Ghosts Are Gone" and "From Within" by Anekdoten, and "Polygondwanaland" by King Gizzard And The Wizard Lizard.

I can't thank you guys enough for giving me all these good recommendations.

I think that this link written by Denis Vecchie (Passion Progressive / France) could help you (progressive rock/metal from the 60's to our century):

Well I disagree with you. Which is fine. I think of new bands heavily influenced by the 1970's as less progressive (and obviously less innovative) than those who have found a new spin of progressing rock music - and challenging what it can mean - and be.
But I agree with you ! For example, for me, The Watch, Wobbler, The Flower Kings, Spock's Beard are less progressive in terms of innovation than many post/alternative rock/metal bands (Caspian, If These Trees Could Talk, ... ) and artists of progressive black/death-metal (Agalloch, Borknagar, Enslaved, ...). Wink



I have been fooled! It was not a disagreement all along!

Well I disagree with you. Which is fine. I think of new bands heavily influenced by the 1970's as less progressive (and obviously less innovative) than those who have found a new spin of progressing rock music - and challenging what it can mean - and be.
But I agree with you ! For example, for me, The Watch, Wobbler, The Flower Kings, Spock's Beard are less progressive in terms of innovation than many post/alternative rock/metal bands (Caspian, If These Trees Could Talk, ... ) and artists of progressive black/death-metal (Agalloch, Borknagar, Enslaved, ...). Wink
