I Recommend...

I'd like to highly recommend the band 'Information' and their only, self-titled Album from 1981. Unfortunately I found no hints for a recent release, CD or other, so it's a bit of a search task for you, but I can assure you it's worth the effort. I bought the original LP (RCA PL28483) back then and til today it's one of my Prog-favourites. The band-members are three well known european jazz and fusion musicians, as there are:
Joachim Kühn (keys), George Kochbeck (keys, voc) and Mark Nauseef (perc)
The music is real Prog, powerful and innovative, with raw vocals and many rock, jazz and fusion influences. Listening to this kind of hard-rockjazz-prog it' s hard to believe that, no matter what your ears might tell you, no-one plays guitar or bass on this album. It' s all keyboards and distorted synths! For friends of  BrandX, U.K., Magma

Hello. 

for those who like intsrumental math/post rock....instrumental......try out the recent mini album by "collection of colonies of bees"....superb stuff......mostly nice rocky grooves with smart drumming....and the odd bit of thart repetitve steve reich/philip glass classical vibe.

last year they did an album with Bon Iver under the name of Volcano Choir if that helps.....that was like the last two talk talk albums meets contempary classical.....a great hidden gem.

This is some pretty good stuff. I just DL'd the music after one listen. It's free!

I'd like to recommend my own band Caligula's Horse, who have just released a CD version of our album "Moments From Ephemeral City". It's got some great reviews on this site, and it should appeal to fans of Devin Townsend, Frost*, Opeth and perhaps Porcupine Tree. Check us out guys!

Our website, where you can buy/download (for free if you like) the album: www.samvallen.com

I want to recommend a couple of groups here for people to check out.    

Animal Collective - Anyone who knows the name immediately thinks of indie band weirdness and shudders. But the albums Feels, Merriweather Post Pavilion and Fall Be Kind are modern art rock at it's most melodic.

Akira Yamaoka - Does the soundtracks for the Silent Hill video games. Check out the 2nd and 3rd OSTs for some haunting ambient textures and goth rock.

Minus the Bear - They aren't as dense or thought-provoking as some newer bands on PA but I think fans of Andrew Latimer's guitar tone, Radiohead's grooves and Weezer's silly lyrics would like them. BTW that's a terrible description, just sample them on amazon or itunes.

I like Dream Theater, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, and Jeff Beck

Right now I've been listening to Genesis, Devo, and They Might Be Giants. Eventhough the latter aren't very prog, they still rock.
