We have two Spirogyra albums, and I believe they should be an automatic recommendation for anyone into Comus - though they are in no way so dark and disturbing.

Yeah, they're definitely not so dark and disturbing, but they're definitely worth checking out.  What two do you have?  I've got St. Radigund's so far.

Do you know these boys - seems to me similar to a few of the bands in Bold like Between the Buried and Me, Cynic the 2009 album FrAme is great. 
 
Hourglass's "Oblivious To The Obvious" and Exivious self titled 2009 album.
More in the heavy end could be Sepultura's "Roots" (this may be too much i dono)
Maby Shogon's  - Trivium
 
On the instrumental side You should def. check out :
Bill Rieflin/Robert Fripp/Trey Gunn's : "The Repercussions of Angelic Behavior" got the feeling You will like that one.
 
I c you got soft maschine on your list, have you checked out any Robert Wyatt solo stuff.
I personaly love the wierd 1971 "The End of an Ear"
 
Talking about wierd post punk band Pere Ubu, is a sure laugh, if you are interested in experimental music.
 
No Talk Talk on your list, especialy the last album Laughing Stock is great, very calm and relaxing, at the same time very inteligent music.
 
Laurie Anderson's Mister Heartbreak, i have to recomand anyone interested in non mainstream music,
not that im sure you will like her though.
 
Thats what i could come up with for now, took me some time to post this may be others allready mentioned some of it. ? 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Prog is whatevey you want it to be. So dont diss other peoples prog, and they wont diss yours

I've got that one, and also Old Boot Wine. We have yet to get Bells, Boots and Shambles, which is said to be their masterpiece.

Same here, Raff.  Plus, I've looked at the disc of pre-Radigund's recordings, it seems interesting.

I thought the same too...Well said Scott. In a forum if someone is looking for help they should not shun/push away someone that may be of help.

hey Andy....  since I suggested this band earlier to someone.

this group might be up your alley....  this is an old clip...  but thought you might enjoy anyway.  Might be my favorite of all the 'newish' groups we have found/added over the years.  Check out their Myspace page...  it will hook you.  It sure did me when we evaluated them.

Well, I'm a bit confused about what you've liked and disliked, I would have though if you like this you should like that, and then I find it not bolded or even on red. So I have no idea if you would like my sugestions but if you have an oportunity you might just as well try them: Harmonium, specially Si on Avait besoin d'une Cinquiem Saison (somehow similar to Gabriel era Genesis and early King Crimson - the soft songs; with nice flutes); Focus, specially Hamburger Concerto and Moving Waves (similar to Jethro Tull); Metamorfosi: Inferno (RPI, don't know whom to compare the to, but so far my fav RPI -not that I know much about it anyway); Haggard (Doom Metal - with growls - many slow quiet parts with folk or classical sounds, and ofcourse, operatic vocals).

I know you enjoy Opeth so I would suggest getting the two last Shining albums. Kind of a black metal take on Opeth to simplify things. Well they are much more than that but I would recommend them.

Okay, let me actually be helpful here.  LOL

You should check out Osada Vida, a Polish heavy prog act.  I do not own their latest work, Uninvited Dreams, but I have listened to it on Internet radio and let me tell you it is excellent.

I wonder why I got rid of it if it's so great ? It's a welcome return to form, but pales with comparison to their seventies outputs.

hahhaha....  thank God to hell, knowing your tastes, I wasn't suggesting the group to you then. 

Andy is a Mastodon fan.. hence the youtube clip. The music though is 15 years old...  if he wants to check out their music. Myspace is where he needs to be... and you if interested, for why I strongly recommended them.
