My current favorite albums are:

Porcupine Tree - Stupid Dream
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet

I suppose there's a common theme running through those Embarrassed

.
(I'm getting myself psyched up & prepared for the May 19th show in NYC)
(And, I'm particularly addicted to Anesthetize off of FOABP. Possibly the best song ever created)

From the proggy-but-not-prog side of things, here are some other albums I've been addicted to recently:

Katatonia - The Great Cold Distance
The Beatles - Abbey Road (particularly the side 2 medley)

Mostly jazz rock/fusion featuring Elton Dean or Keith Tippett for me.

I'm really delving into my Canterbury and Jazz Rock/Fusion at the moment.

Bone - Uses Wrist Grab is also an album I cannot get enough off and I can also feel a Soft Mountain and Le Silo bias coming on soon.

I've never listened to them, but they're coming to Atlanta in May and I think I'm going to go to the concert.

Not familiar with Sound Horizon. How's it like?

Once I submitted Sound Horizon for PA but it seems to be rejected on data base.

Sound Horizon was started by multi-instrumentalist Revo in 2001. This music is, so to say, not depressed Devil Doll + Novela-ish progressive hard rock + pop rock + jazz + progressive folk rock + main stream symphonic rock...

Because of starting as dojin music (see it please, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dojin_music), Sound Horizon was noticed by animation and game music fans in the early period. Gradually the name became to be known by fans of other genres. Chronicle 2nd is remaking album of 1st album ''Chronicle''. However it is also entirely different album from Chronicle. Because Aramary didn't sing on original one. Chronicle 2nd enormously features her song and talk. It made Chronicle 2nd greater masterpiece than 1st album. Elysion was released by major label. Progressive rock magazine Euro Rock Press positively reviewed it. But it was also Aramary's last album. She left Sound Horizon one year after this release. The latest album Roman includes Hasegawa Atsushi and Fujimoto Kenichi (Gerard) as support musicians.

SH's albums are highly story-oriented also composed as suite music.

*Similar groups / artists; uuuuuu, what is similar to it .... Devil Doll is very far.

Teru's Symphonia may be a little close to SH. Marge Litch may be also a little close ...

I recommend Aramary's period (especially, Chronicle 2nd and Elysion - Rakuen ~).

By the way, can you imagine a bit of SH's music ? I'm afraid it makes you confuse.
