Maybe you're thinking about the concert too. I would probably find it nicer than the album myself.

Actually, the concert provided my first audition of the album and I didn't like it much, it was very awkward. Maybe it happened because I was expecting something different, I don't know.

It was only when I started to listen the album on the studio recording that I started to like it. And it happened fast and totally. Now it's my favourite PT album, right up with Lightbulb Sun.

1. The Thomas Tracks.....5Bridges (By large the best release of the year IMHO) 
2. Ëmëhntëhtt-Rê.......Magma (Not as great as KA, but still amazing)
3. Out of the Tunnel's Mouth by Steve Hackett: Just got it,. but has climbed positions pretty soon.
4. The Whirlwind.....Transatlantic (Surprise, great album by a band I never cared about)
5. Progression by Failure......Progression by Faillure (Superb album that few noticed)
6. Mundos Bizarros.....Flor de Loto (Each album is more solid han it's predecessor)
7. The Form of the Good by Deluge Grander: Not as good as the previous, but still excellent.

Heard some more but don't remember them now, and the most expected one (The Incident) was a total disappointment for me.

Try these, you'll most probably like them:

Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra-Take Off!
Jono El Grande-Neo Dada
Fun Machine-Sonnenhuhn (also on my top of the year)

Some of my favourites this year are not prog, but oh well.
