	Vanishing Twin - The Age of Immunology* Chelsea Wolfe - Birth of Violence* Ciśnienie - JazzArt Underground Le Silo - Yamai Secret Chiefs 3 - Malkhut Swans - leaving meaning. De Lorians - De Lorians Magma - Zess Cosmic Ground - Cosmic Ground 5 Bent Knee - You Know What They Mean - Vanishing Twin is not in PA and not really Prog I would say, but kind of proggy in a sort of Streolab Pram and Broadcast Way (Neo Psych, Space Age, and Krautrock qualities with Art Pop/Dram Pop). That is one of my favourite albums of the decade. - Chelsea Wolfe mad e avery good Dark Folk, NeoFolk album here. Not in PA but related enough for me. - Ciśnienie was a fairly recent discovery of mine, and am pleased to have suggested it to Post-Rock and have it added to PA. It is a band that build really big crescendos that faollow almost walls of sound (quite like a fair amount of Swans, and I find Dirty Boy by Cardiacs does that sort of thing etc.). -With Swans' leaving meaning. it is pretty different from the previous few Swans albums, folkier and gentler, but I like it. I know that there were lots of others I listed closer to 2019, but I didn't want to look that up, and these are some that still stick with me and a few of these I discovered later.

	Like 2018 the order is going to change but probably not the albums. I need to get a proper hearing of some of these yet. Opeth- In Cauda Venenum Jordsjo- Nattfiolen The Worm Ouroboros- Endless Way From You O.R.K.- Ramagehead Jambinai- Onda Stephan Thelen- Fractal Guitar Monkey3- Sphere The Pineapple Thief- Hold Our Fire Klone- Le Grand Voyage Arch/ Mathoes- Winter Ethereal I just saw from Grumpy's list Mahandini is from 2019 and I had it wrong at 2018 will change that. Edit again! Discogs says Mahandini was released Decemebr 10th 2018, I'm going with that. Edited by Mellotron Storm - May 15 2022 at 09:09
