I love dark sounding Prog. By this I mean stuff like King Crimson's
"Red", Tool's music in general and Yes's "South Side of the Sky".
I would like some recommendations on this particular sounding Prog. Oh, and I'm not really interested in Prog Metal, even though it is dark sounding alot of the time. Thank you!

I`m not a good fan of Prog Metal, but yes of prog with dark moments
The one I think right now are: - King Crimson- The Power to believe (it`s a dark album from start to end) - Marillion have his dark moments (songs like "White Russian", "Chelsea Monday) - Everything from Tool and some moments of Mars Volta. Bands I like that some be ADDED here with a LOT of darky moments are: JOY DIVISION THE CURE BAUHAUS JAPAN I don`t know if you know that bands? |

Try Univers Zero - the darkest band of all time. Listen to"Heresie" with all your room's lights turned off if you can. Not so dark, but once labelled as "Dark sound band": Van Der Graaf Generator. |

Cool, thanks  I already really dig The Mars Volta and Tool, and I know of The Cure, but I need to look into those other bands... I'll very well likely get King Crimson - The Power to believe on my next CD buying spree. |

Indukti's new album S.U.S.A.R. is dark prog - twin guitars and violin with some nice sig changes. Also Anekdoten's earlier works - Nucleus, Vemod, From Within. From way back, St Elmo's Fire were KC - insipred. Splitting Ions in the Ether is a good live album. Guapo - Five Suns. Now there's dark!

Universe Zero? Interesting. If the "darkest band of all time" of what you say about this band is true, then I can't wait to look into them! I got some Van Der Graaf Generator compolation album that had a bunch of thier songs from 1970-75, it was rather dark sounding, but I just didn't really get into it. I may have enjoyed it more if there were no vocals and the Sax was replaced by an elecric guitar... Please don't flame me for that VDGG comment...  |

Wicked With all these recommendations, I'll need to spend a fair bit of time at my local Neighbourhood house downloading tracks on their broardband internet  Then I will have to make a trip to the city in hope of finding the CD's... That will be the biggest challenge... Thanks everyone! |

I guess these are dark enough and worth to listen: AFTER CRYING (Hungary) - any album PLJ BAND "Armageddon" (Greece) IL BALLETTO DI BRONZO "Ys". |

If you like Japan, you should also try David Sylvian's solo albums, especially Secrets Of The Beehive. |

Osanna (Palepoli) are a cross between VDGG and King Crimson,
which means lots of sax and guitar. I'd also recommend High Tide (if you like Black Sabbath+Hawkwind+violin) and Island, the only song I've listened to so far is amazing. And of course give zeuhl a chance, maybe Magma and Shub Niggurath Edited by paulindigo |

Do you have the two albums that precede Red? If not, get those. They have their "dark" moments.
