Dude, If you like Al D. go and find Return To Forever, some fine jazz/fusion stuff that he was involved in before he went "solo". That band includes one Stanley Clark, as well as Chic Corea, and Lenny White. I was fortunate enough to see R.T.F. and all the members on solo ventures. Such incredible talents and awesome musicianship that anyone who appreciates prog would be definately entertained by, if you cross the lines into "fusion". |
already done, thats the weird thing, i've been listening to Mahavishnu and RtF since about 2 years now, but never heard of Al solo work before  , i guess i want into fusion, yet.

finally checked out Woe of Tyrants and really liked their recent album "Threnody". they got more of a "progressive death metal" sound going on this album, reminding me of Between the Buried and Me"

Hello to you all,
Please check out a band called Prospekt. They are a mixture of Dream Theater, Symphony X and Pain of Salvation. Epic guitar solos and great vocals all with the combined average age of 23! Definitely one for the future, or even the present.

Discovered Lykathea Aflame recently. Love how they can be incredibly brutal, yet beautiful at the same time

LOADS. But most importantly - prog rock itself.

^ Welcome to the prog side! Enjoy your journey...  This last week I've been really listening to new prog (for me anyway). Breakthroughs include listening to Supper's Ready and The Whirlwind in their entireties, and loving both. Now I'm listening to Garden of Dreams by the Flower Kings (another Transatlantic alumnus).

the biggest discovery of the year 2010 would be Erik Satie or Antonin Dvorak, but as for the prog I would say Comus (I know it's not really "fresh" thing but the "First Utterance" album is simply ingenious)

Another great discovery this year - Mouse on the keys. Progressive jazz/post-rock, 2 or 3 keyyboards musicians and a drummer. Wicked.

That's an easy oen for me: ALGERNON, with their latest release "Ghost Surveillance".
There is this German post-rock band that I have also enjoyed with a sense of pleasant surprise, and also the same with ELEPHANT9. Both are matchd close seconds.
Kind regards from Lima.

Before this year I had only heard one Frank Zappa track (Peaches..). Now I have 18 of his albums on CD. So Zappa is definitely my biggest discovery of the year.
In the last few weeks I have bought a few Strawbs albums (I'd only previously been aware of the single 'Part of the Union'). The albums Grave New World, Hero and Heroine and Ghosts are some of the best albums I have ever heard.
Also I have bought the earlier albums of Chicago. Like many people I always associated Chicago with 'If You Leave Me Now..., and Hard to Say I'm Sorry. But my eyes (and ears) have been truly opened. Chicago II is a masterpiece.
Finally, my last big discovery has been the music of Richard Wagner. I am currently getting into the monumental 'Der Ring Des Nibelungen'

After Spock's Beard, I didn't know anything of Neal Morse and Transatlatic. Now I can't give them up.

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Ephemeral Sun has caught my attention thus far, and I'm done 1 of the 4 songs on their new album.
