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.

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.

My Recommendations:

Sikth-Death of Dead Day...This band is amazing. Tech/math metal. I really cant compare them to anyone. They have a sound that's completely theirs. But they are diffinitly pushing the limits for this genre. Check em out www.myspace.com/sikth.

Two Bands you should at listen to: Arsonist get all the girls and PsyOpus. At first you are gonna be like WTF? Both bands are just nuts. They have a very interesting sound, specially within the vocals. www.myspace.com/agatg and www.myspace.com/psyopus

All three bands are high engery and crazy, I personally love them. Check em!

Barzaz, if you can find it. I have Ec'honder on vinyl. It's Breton folky fusion type stuff. Fretless bass and whatnot.

Also, Lightdreams - Islands in Space. Again on vinyl, extremely rare, but really good neopsych from the early 80s.

At the very end of 2007, this is THE band to listen to guys ! Strange, beautiful, and so on... Just listen to TORM at MySpace and tell us your opinion about that album called Back to Zorn. The band is coming from France. Album issued on october. You can rate it at RYM page

i like them, but they haven't published any album yet, as far as i know ??

hunger for more prog can never be quenched.
