First off, my biggest discovery of the year would have to be this site, which in turn have turned me on to Camel and Van der graaf generator. I have been visiting this site since last winter and finally got the nads up to start posting. Thanks to everyone who donates time to this site for helping a prog head expand his horizons.

Catapilla!!!!
Obscure femalesinger a la Belgian Canterbury band COS fused with the spacewhispers from Gilli Smyth, along with twin saxophone attack, psychedelic guitar and a rolling rhythm section. Both albums are from the 70´s and definitely worth checking out if you feel in the adventurous mood  |

Children of Nova. They only have one EP out, but I adore it.
Also, tried for the first time in my life to listen to an album with growling/screaming vocals in it, Colors by Between the Buried and Me. I always thought I was totally averse to the stuff, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I originally thought, the musicianship is actually quite good. Being a fan of Pink Floyd, Rush, Yes, etc., growling wasn't in my repertoire, but it'll now sneak its way in here and there.

I guess Alex Machacek's 24 tales is a biggy for me. Brother Ape's Turbulence is another... Looking forward to hearing the new Relocator CD. |

My biggest discovery this year so far has to be Transatlantic. I absolutely love The Whirlwind and am really growing to like Bridge Across Forever.

How things change. Now it would have to be Kaipa, and it will no doubt change again before the end of the year! |

This website
I've been listening to prog for just OVER a year, so I would say my greatest discovery this year would be King Crimson |

Procol Harum!
How have I overlooked them for so long? I saw them open for Jethro Tull last night - they were phenomenal...I'll be checking out everything they've done with great interest...I've been searching for prog that is not afraid of blues/soul influences and here it is! |

This was one of those albums the every Canadian had to own "back in the day". I discovered Nash the Slash "Children of the Night" first, then got Black Noise later. Apparently the master tapes for "Black Noise" disappeared, so the 1994 CD re-issue is recorded from vinyl !

I thought this was general music lounge for a moment, my mistake.  But I stick by my words, they're the best band I've found this year.  As for prog specifically, I'd have to choose either Eloy or Spock's Beard as this year's best additions to my collection! |

Heres a belated discovery I happened to stumble across "Black Noise"by F.M. That album just grabbed hold and pulled me in, don't know why it just did!
I still play it often and enjoy the whole thing, I first thought it was from the early 80's and then found out it was from 1976. To me it seems ahead of its time. A bit cheesy in places but on the whole really good. Pity the sound quality of wasn't better though...

And the changes of no consequence will pick up the reins from nowhere...
