I would like to recommend the band "Body Song" with special attention to the songs "To Live Again", "mad Girls Love Song" and "Eyes Will Follow" Somebody in that band has some excellent songwriting chops.
EDIT: one of the bands founders previously fronted "The Paddle Boat" and "Cuckoo Chaos", more bands that I like. I would call this often proggy, maybe crossover prog? aldri7

Hello everyone,
I wanted to share with you the album “Ceremonia II” by Bizirik, which is the second part of their Ceremonia trilogy. This album was released in physical format in 2021 and has received positive reviews so far. I would like more progressive fans to discover this work, as its promotion has been somewhat limited. You can listen to it on Bandcamp through the following link: Ceremonia II If you want more information about Bizirik or to explore their music, you can visit their official website: www.bizirik.cl I hope you enjoy it and I’d love to hear your thoughts! |

I recommend the new solo guitar album from Pat Metheny, MoonDial. An excellent chill record with superb sonics.

While most listeners may associate or even confuse Michel Colombier's craggy, soulful voice and compositions with Blood, Sweat & Tears and their famous frontman David Clayton-Thomas (or by way of influence The Buckinghams), Colombier was an artist unto himself as well as a more rounded and realized progressive/jazz musician who not only sung-up a storm, but developed some of the best progressive brass-jazzrock ever recorded. And with some very good help from the brilliant songsmith Paul Williams, singer-lyricist Lani Hall, and a fully orchestrated ensemble that brought the power, his 1971 extravaganza 'Wings' is a shamefully ignored LP. Brimming with theater and stage-set mellodramatics, the '71 release is a fully realized example of the deep possibilities of what progressive popular music had become, Colombier gingerly reaching out with 'Freedom and Fear's dizzied arrangements hitting on myriad forms, setting the bold tone of this LP, merging seamlessly into instrumentals 'Earth' and 'Thalassa'. Paul Williams' fabulous nasal toy-doll vocals lead the moody & slightly Beatlesesque 'Doesn't Anybody Know?', both a product of its era and yet setting itself apart with unexpected darkness and Herbie Hancock piano play circa '71. 'Pourquoi Pas?' and 'Morning is Come Again' sneaks up on us without warning, has surprising frenetic horn-play and deep chorales, one of the best passages here, and 'For Those Who Cannot Hear' is troubled reflection as is Lani Hall's 'We Could be Flying' putting us squarely in the audience of some experimental theater piece that surely closed the same week hosting tiny but appreciative onlookers. Morose 'Emmanuel' and Herb Alpert's 'All in All' say goodbye with some sweet sentiment and a touch of Hair as our nightcap. One day almost every fan of symphonic jazz/pop will come around to this sort of rarefied time in merged music, and this effort will hit them suddenly, tragically, surprising them with its startling brilliance and with a moment missed but loved all over again. |

I recommend the latest Jon Anderson album which he did with the Band Geeks called True. I especially recommend it for those who were disappointed with the last few proper Yes albums. For me this is better than anything his old band has done since maybe Fly From Here or maybe even Magnification. 1,000 hands was very good but this one is more of a proper prog rock kind of album so I won't say it's better than that but for those who think they don't like Jon solo but love Yes you need to hear this!

Here's a 70s-prog-inspired song whose lyrics celebrate the virtual worlds of fractals ! |

I would like to recommend Too Much - Too Much (1971)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6rB3OJCTJ8&ab_channel=ThebestdreamIhad A nice mix of Hendrixian rock and psychedelic prog instrumentation with use of flute and strings.

I'd say wilderness exudates from those thoughtful and civilized players, and I don't find this in many bands, but that you'd look for them is pretty surprising indeed !! A first mention of them on PA there Edited by jayem - March 17 2024 at 08:20 |

With: John Jowitt on bass (IQ) Fudge Smith on drums (Pendragon) Jargon on vocals (Verbal Delirium) Ralph Cardall on guitar (THEDEEPSTATE) and, of course, the great Pat Sanders on keys This is Neo Prog done right. |

Basically, I can recommend everything from my personal playlist of 1000 tracks, mostly from the complex wing of prog: Avant-prog, Zeuhl, Canterbury, Fusion etc, some Jazz-Rock as well. I hope some people will like it. I encourage sharing your own streaming service playlists.

Thanks! I noticed the "Yes" as well. This is a wild coincidence, but I was just searching the forums for Wananabani-en as I was trying to recall where I had come across them previously and the search came up with only one result---your "I recommend" post from 2019. It's on page 106 (not much in 5 years). I didn't see this post because the band name wasn't included and only noticed because you replied to my post. |

For those of you who haven't heard it, you have to give it a listen!
Ihsan Al-Munzer - Jamileh Kinda "spooky" sonuding middle eastern groove with a crazy awesome lead synth which I'm assuming isn't anything more sophisticated than an Arp ProSoloist but it sets such a peculiar mood! It's not prog, ok. However, tbf, it kinda reminds me of Bagarozzo era Goblin! |

Great track indeed ! Much of Yes in the way the built the piece, at 5:00 the guitar part must be a tribute to Yes' Yours Is No Disgrace at 2:54 Tonight I play back this exciting track from 2015 with a spiraling raise of tension + energy and like several carrousels at different speeds, the band had found something great here Edited by jayem - December 27 2023 at 12:48 |
