I would like to recommend London's five-piece female-fronted sympho-rock combo, The Far Meadow. If you are looking for something fresh and bracing yet intricate, then checking out this band is ideal. They released three full-length albums, which are all beautiful and powerful. It is definitely must-have stuff for fans of contemporary symphonic rock. The albums are available on Bandcamp.

You need some Anathema in your life the last 4 especially but virtually anything from 1999's Judgement is worth a try. They are doom metal, post rock, spiritual and alternative all rolled into one.

How about Hybris from Anglagard? That one's wonderful. Now, you already mentioned you didn't like Porcupine Tree, and I guess Steven Wilson goes included in the package, but have you particularly heard The Raven that Refused to Sing? That one sounds very much like classic prog. Also, have you heard some Rock Progresivo Italiano? There are many gems within that sub-genre that would be worth checking out. I would particularly think about Banco del Mutuo Socorsso (Darwin to begin with, perhaps).

Since Gentle Giant was mentioned, I'd give a shout-out to Quebec's Opus-5: 1976's Contre-Courant, and 1977's Serieux Ou Pas. Also some of the Gryphon albums (Red Queen to Gryphon Three, Raindance, Treason).

I will definitely get to all of these recs. I struck gold with Grumpyprogfan's Wippy Bonstack recommendation. I want to digest those albums for a week or so before moving on. They triggered the rare experience for me of hearing some new prog that I loved instantly.

The Emerald Dawn is a band from St. Ives, Cornwall, in south-west England. The name of the band is a reference to an environmentalist-led revolt. They play enthralling and dramatic symphonic rock music. The progressive music internet radio stations have globally played The Emerald Dawn a lot, so they are not an unknown band in the circles of fans of the genre. They have released five albums since 2014. You can find all of their albums on Bandcamp, and I highly recommend them. |

Sorry I deleted my post because I realized most were too well known and you probably knew them already.

I don't think I have heard any of what has been posted here. I think I may have heard the birds and buildings album a while back, but that's it. I will have plenty to digest. I was on the forums here years ago, but my email address for that account is no longer valid, so I couldn't recover my password.

I don't know if you'd like it, but Birds and Buildings' Bantam to Behemoth was the first to comes to mind.

The progressive rock genre tradition serves as the foundation for the contemporary band Napier's Bones' sound. Their primary emphasis lies in dramatic storytelling that resonates with modern audiences. Music with a strong emphasis on the present and hints of the past. Since 2014, this quintessential English prog band has released seven albums, which should all be a rather good treat for enthusiasts of the genre and are available on Bandcamp. |

I was a huge fusion fan years ago but transitioned more into a mainstream jazz guitarist a couple of decades ago (I play in a quartet). These days, it's more Wes Montgomery, Pat Martino, Joe Pass, Monk, Coltrane, etc., for me. Years ago, I used to listen to a ton of Mahavishnu Orchestra, The Dregs, Mike Stern, Scott Henderson, Kazumi Watanabe, Jeff Berlin, Fire Merchants, Jean Luc-Ponty, etc. I still listen to some fusion occasionally, but my listening is mostly divided between prog and non-fusion jazz. Some classical thrown in every now and then too.

I am listening to that Simon Says tune right now. Sounds cool! It will take me a while to check all this stuff out. I am glad I started the thread.

I'd like to recommend two albums by The Worm Ouroboros, a non-English 'Canterburians' from Belarus. They put out two albums, both of which are masterpieces of the contemporary 'Canterbury' genre. You can get both albums on Bandcamp. |

Wippy doesn't get much mention on PA. Glad you enjoyed! Check out Mike Keneally's song "Cornbread Crumb" on YouTube. It has a Steely Dan vibe to me. Keneally has a lot of weird stuff, I would recommend his album "Dancing" for newbies and then venture into his avant stuff.
Bubblemath is one of my favorites, you have good taste! Do you like fusion? There is lots to recommend for that genre... Nova Collective, Panzerballett, Pat Metheny, Allan Holdsworth, etc. |
