Highly doubt that. There's no talk of it yet even.

Steven Wilson's Cover Version VI was also great, Rick Wakeman's 'Always With You' was surprisingly good, and Bullets In Madison released a great album too.
Kayo Dot also has an EP due by the end of the year, and Blackfield III is 'coming soon' according to KScope.


And now also Tartar Lamb II confirmed, things are looking REALLY good

I've heard Kayo Dot's 'Coyote' might be worth checking out...

It's all about listening. The more you listen these album, the more you will like most of them. And whole year as well.

Some are instant hits - Orphaned Land.
There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

I have got the new Anathema, the new Pineapple Thief, and PoS' Road Salt One, and all are pretty good IMO.

2010 isn't as good as 2009 yet, I think. 

I'll be buying the new Iron Maiden, and the new Opeth, if it makes it out this year.
Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while...

I believe a new Agents Of Mercy cd is in the pipeline. As far as i know The Flower Kings are on hold for the forseeable future.

I really want a new Flower Kings album... We're going on three years with no new albums! Confused

I really can't wait for Epignosis either! I really love Still The Waters! Clap

But what has me most excited is the new Iron Maiden.... best heavy metal band ever! Clap Rawks

A good year but not a great one so far. To date none of this year's releases have earned a 9/10 or higher. As some others have said many of my favourite albums in 2009 were released in the second half of the year. Fingers crossed that 2010 is the same.

I don't think it will be the new KC album at all ... he has admitted that the whole KC thing for him is not fun anymore and he deserves the chance to do anything else but KC.
 
I would like to see him on the loose again, and be able to go do something with others ... that we would never expect at all. I would like to see him with a Riuichi Sakamoto, or even a Terje Rypdal, or even a couple of the ECM folks ... so that he has a little more fun experimenting and enjoying himself and not have to feel self conscious in doing it and have to mark it down so he can play it again in concert when everyone else wants to hear it! I would also love to see him go have a bit of fun with Peter Hammill again, and Peter Gabriel, and ... if he is not too tired, setup a jam in Los Angeles with Chuck Oken and Richard Pinhas on the old analog noise makers! And have Eno produce it! Ohhh .. .bring Robert Wyatt while you're at it! ... his abc's will definitly liven up the store!
 
But if all it is, and becomes, is just a bunch of songs ... forget it! You can then say it's over and he is tired!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Not nearly as good as 2009 so far, but the new Pain of Salvation and Spock's Beard are both fantastic! Clap

Black Prairie is folkier than the Decemberists.  Most of the songs are instrumental and there's no percussion, so it's a bit unusual, at least in my collection.  It's a great album though.  I would recommend it to anyone who likes folk.

The whole thing about any given year is that if you try to evaluate in the middle, there's still half a damned year left.  If you try to evaluate it on the last day, then there's still plenty released late in the year that you haven't been able to try.  Kind of hard for me to evaluate a year in prog music until I get at least a year past it.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Black Prairie? Is it in the vein of The Decemberists?

I just found that a new Iron Maiden is planned, 2010 finally starts Tongue

I'm anticipating the new Symphony X as well.  The new Iron Maiden should be out soon too.  So far, there have been several great albums out.  The new Ihsahn, High on Fire, Immolation, and Shining albums have all been kicking my ass lately, and the Black Prairie(side project of the Decemberists) debut is excellent as well.  There are several I still need to get, but I've been too busy exploring some older stuff.Tongue

Isn't the new one from Symphony X due sometime soon? That should be one to look forward too.

2010 dissapointing? I wouldn't agree. Kayo Dot's Coyote, Spock's Beard's X, Univers Zero's Clivages,Kaipa's In the Wake of Evolution, Karnataka's The Gathering Light, Motorpsycho's Heavy Metal Fruit, Shining Blackjazz, Jaga Jazzist's One-Armed Bandit, Elephant9's Walk the Nile, Metheny's Orchestrion, Panic Room's Satellite... These are all class acts for me.
