Look at the sig. "You are unique..."

^^You're quite right about Nemo and probably also about After Crying ( i don't know  them so well, I know  that other well known hungary band Solaris  better and they're certainly innovative). Still there certainly are some bands being discussed in the symphonic threads and in this database too that indeed intentionally try to recreate a 70's atmosphere or at least build upon these influences to create a modern symphonic sound, imo there's nothing wrong with that. This music is obviously not interesting to MajesterX  but why should i or others here care? I see that MajesterX likes Dream theater a lot, i like them too but certainly not as much as he does. So i generally  stay out of DT threads and polls or approach them in a mildy positive tone.I suggest to MajesterX  to do the same in regard to modern symph, to each his own.

 An overwhelming list, as always, there are many familiar names from the legendary  Sypmphonic prog thread, but there ones which are don't know at all, but judging from this review the must be interesting.

Oh no, another one to look for.

Well Erik you're the one leading the way, we just have to start hearing more of these groups which are, as you well put it, unknown to the big majority of us all. You shouldn't be only A Symphonic Prog Expert, but a Symphonic Prog Expert and Expert In Lesser Known Bands!

Great job, you did!!

Well, andYouandI45, as a psychiatric nurse I need moments to relax so all those extensive listening sessions are a way to relax, I am carried away to Progheaven

Give him my regards Erik.

I apologize for the generalization about modern prog bands. I guess I really don't know much about modern prog that is more obscure, so my comments were rightfully tossed aside.
I suppose I'm just sort of grudging of modern prog due to my experiences with bands like Spock's Beard and The Flower Kings, which I personally don't find original or interesting after a while of listening.

Just to clear things up, I'm not so much of a DT fan as much as I was, their new album was kind of another nail in a coffin for me. I'm not so much uninterested in modern prog (albeit it's in some way original) as I am annoyed with modern bands that exist only to provide a nostalgia trip back to the 70's.
I feel a bit idiotic now, as I've never really listened to any of the bands on the list.
