You should listen to Disco Volante (1995) from Mr. Bungle.  As it is the only album I own of this group, I can't tell if it is their best, but I can tell you that Disco Volante is a album that impressed me and surprised me at each and every song.  Only to give you an idea, we can find on this album heavy distortioned metal, jazz fusion like Zappa, many strange voices and disturbing sounds, kind of middle eastern techno, some italian/spanish folk, .... sometimes in the same song !!!

Thanks everyone for the suggestion

I think i should have been more specific when i started this thread, i have no trouble finding a lot of prog metal bands in the stores its only the modern prog rock bands that the likes of HMV, Virgen etc ignor.

Im looking forword to hearing all these bands.

Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Because you prefer more modern prog I would like to advise the following bands:

Magic Pie-Motions of desire

Presto Ballet-Peace among the ruins

Dr. No-El bufo de la cort

Amagrama-Ciclotimia

Magenta-Live 2-CD

Nemo-Prelude a la ruine

Riverside-Out of myself

Take a look at the Prog Archives reviews and make you choice along with the other advices and enjoy the listenings sessions!

Maybe you can follow the new releases of prog publisher record labels like InsideOut,old Magna Carta vs. Then reviews and comments are useful also.

Otherwise, counting group names don't meet your needs because there are so much subgenres and different sounds, approaches vs..

Grab a copy of Cautionary Tales For the Brave by Pure Reason Revolution.
Quite possibly the 2nd best album released this year.

Cheers,

Listen to Hamster Theaters "Carneval Denoument", for a totally new take on progressive, combined with elements of modern classical and eastern folk, somehow very accesible.

You should like The Devouring by Djam Karet if you like the bands you mentioned. The problem could be where to find it today? Ebay?

Well through this site I've tried and would recommend:

Porcupine Tree - Sky Moves Sideways;
The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute or Deloused in the Comatorium
Tool - Lateralus

...I bought them in UK shops (HMV or Virgin I think)
