I love the Krokofant album Fifth. They are a powerful jazz fusion outfit, think of Elephant 9 and you are not far off but even heavier. 4 tracks and 40 minutes , this was probably intended as a vinyl release but sounds great on CD anyway. Play this loud and the neighbours (if you have any , thankfully I don't that are close!) will be banging on the walls.

Rachel Flowers - Bigger On The Inside Very talented Lady best known for her piano versions of ELP tracks and this is a lovely well put together album. Nice vocals and tons of melody. Certainly on the Crossover side of things but worth a listen.

I believe it was from your post I found them, so I have to check out those others too. Thanks. A little note on one band: I think "A Holy Family" is called "The Holy Family".

Tho certainly not close to the 70s, musically this year is pretty good. I expect that soon we will probably get a lot of good music from the people who spent their quaintine time learning guitar. Who knows, rock might make a big comeback in the 2020s or 2030s

Found some more in this topic:
black midi - Cavalcade Black Country, New Road - For the first time Meat Mallet - A Formal Horse Hedvig Mollestad Trio - Ding Dong. You’re Dead. I just noticed while writing this that all these four clock in at 40-42 minutes, which is a length that greatly agrees with me. I have listened to Mastodon some years ago, not so much these days, but I wanted to check out their new album. It’s 1 hour 26 minutes long and simply too long for a collection of songs which aren’t that different. I had to check if I was listening to a Deluxe Edition with various bonus songs and fluff. For albums to work with that length, I prefer concept albums which has a distinct difference between two sides. Still, I prefer albums that land between 40-50 minutes. |

I'm not usually posting in these threads as I rather expect to get hold of 2020 between 2021 and 2028... Anyway, Battlestations "Splinters Vol. I: Tremor" impressed me far more than I'd have expected and more than anything (prog) I have heard of 2019 or 2020 (although I'm not done with these years yet for sure).

I do feel your pain here. Until joining PA I will openly admit my prog knowledge stopped after about 10 major albums of the 70s/80s. I'm in my late 20s and finally reaching out beyond listening to Absolute Radio and falling asleep. But there's just too much out there, and I'm too much of a nerd to be happy missing anything. If there's one good thing that's come from Covid and working from home on my own, its meant I can listen to album after album after album with very little interruption...
