Lobster Newberg
 
Their Myspace bio:
LOBSTER NEWBERG
Biography
Lobster Newberg is serving up an innovative debut CD that will satisfy your musical appetite. These contemporary artists from Chicago suburbia are astounding audiences with their intuitive imagination, in a style reminiscent of Pink Floyd and King Crimson. Take finely tuned genres, blend them into a series of songs reeling with the technical ability of this unique band, and you have a sound for which we have long awaited. Constantly challenging themselves to produce music that is intriguingly inventive, they reach into unconventional territory. Lobster Newberg offers a modern concept in music which is hard to find today. While members all have different tastes in music, they create songs that are a breath of fresh air. Fans have found their music an unexpected welcome in a music scene that is stagnant. Colin Peterik who nimbly runs the keyboard also sings on the tracks. “Our music doesn’t age. Listen to it now or 20 years from now. It’ll still be new… it’ll still be fascinating.” Paradox, a track off their debut CD, Vernal Equinox, speaks to their wide range of musical interests and to the ability of Lobster Newberg to express it all in a complementing wave of synchronicity. And then there’s Happy Together, a refreshing rendition of The Turtles' classic tune, showing this band’s love of the past integrated with a modern conceptual approach. All the original songs are collaboratively written and deliver complex, multi-layered interlocking arrangements. It’s been far too long since we’ve seen this polished molding of sound and word. Once you try this recipe for Lobster Newberg, you’ll never go back to the same old thing again.

Jesu's new EP Lifeline. not prog per say but a must for fans of post metal or post music in genreal. softer, hardly any gutteral vocals, its very light, airty, spacey even. A new favorite of mine.

I recently made a thread dedicated to a composer of chamber music born in France, named Oliver Messiaen. If you know Arvo Part, you'd relatively know what I'm talkin' about. Extremely experimental, if not that minimalist. Take a look at wikipedia and try one of his most well-known efforts: Quator pour la fin du temps (Quartet for the End of the Time).

NOTE: for those who like Radiohead and, specifically, know a song off Hail to the Thief called Sail to the Moon, guitarist Johnny Greenwood said he was influenced by Messiaen (one of his idols) to make the music of the song aforementioned.
The best you can is good enough...

Brian Godding is still playing jazz rock - re-issued his solo album Slaughter On Shaftsbury Avenue on CD last year. A little know fact is that Godding was short listed and auditioned to replace Holdsworth in Soft Machine, but Etheridge got the gig.

Robert Wyatt's Comicopera is my recommendation.

It's fantastic.  It's his best album since Rock Bottom and the album of the year and millenium so far.

I don't like to blow Robert Wyatt's trumpet, but I will.

*brrrrrrrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuurp*

There.

Buy it, listen to it, enjoy it.  It's amazing.

You quit running with scissors before you hurt yourself.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

why they are not in PA?


I totally recommend that album too. If you like La Máquina de Hacer Pájaros you're definitely going to like this one too.
It's probably not on PA because Sui Generis were more a folk rock band, leaded by Charly Garcia, who was later the leader of La Maquina de hacer Pajaros and Seru Giran, both on PA. Sui Generis released 3 studio albums, the first 2 were very folk oriented but the 3rd one, though keeping some of the sound of the first 2 on a couple of songs, has a more proggy sound, especially noticed by the use of synthesizers, wich clearly shows the direction Charly was taking in his music, then forming La maquina de hacer pajaros.

I know it has been brought up a million times before but Steely Dan should definitely  be here. Jazz/Rock Fusion or Prog-Related at the least.
