Hello fellow symphomaniacs. Here is my list of interesting new progrock bands, I have some questions for you when you have read this extensive list: Chili: Jaime Rosas Cuartetto/Angulart/Mar De Robles Argentina: Amagrama/Nexus/Bauer USA: Salem Hill/Presto Ballet/Echolyn/Glass Hammer Canada: Red Sand UK: Willowglass/Pallas/Magenta/Mind Sky/Pendragon The Netherlands: Ayreon/Flamborough Head/Like Wendy/Plackband/Ice/Lady Lake/Mangrove Belgium: Mindgames Italy: Doracor/Aries/La Maschera Di Cera/Finisterre/Ubi Maior/Mangala Vallis/PFM/Banco/Le Orme/Randone France: Nemo/Maldoror Norway: Mikromidas/Flagship/Magic Pie/Wobbler Sweden: Anekdoten/Simon Says/Liquid Scarlet/Moon Safari/Violent Silence Finland: Overhead Spain: Senogul/Zaguan/Unoma/PI2/Bijou Portugal: Sonic Pulsar Poland: Riverside/Indukti/Collage Hungary: D-Sound/Solaris Russia: Little Tragedies Japan: Gerard/Ars Nova/Interpose My questions: Which bands do you like? Which bands are overlooked? Have you listened to their MP3's? Should new prog rock bands get more attention on this site? Can you buy/order these bands easily in your country/on Internet? Is Prog Archives your main source for prog rock? Which bands are not mentioned in my list? Do you have recommendations? Many thanks in advance! |

Jaime Rosas Cuarteto, Glass Hammer, Ayreon, Finisterre, Magic Pie, Wobbler,Riverside Gerard and Ars Nova are the bands that i like... I have listened to mp3 of all of this above mentioned Yes, new bands should get more attention ( i prefer old bands, but theres a lot o excellent new ones) In Mexico is not that easy to find this albums, if i want to order one, then i have to go to sites in the USA Progarchives is my main source of prog And of course i have a few recommendations: From Mexico this 3 excellent bands : Toccata, Elfonia and the best IMO Cabezas de Cera and i recommend Stream of Passion (multi national? ) |

I agree with you about the USA bands - all the ones you've mentioned are brilliant. I would also add Little Atlas and IZZ to that list.

Little Atlas are in a similiar vein to Salem Hill. I've only got one of their albums (Wanderlus) but it's excellent. IZZ are a bit had to categorise - I can only suggest you listen to some samples at http://www.izznet.com/main.htm |

You are forgetting Djam Karet one of the finest US prog acts - kind of space rock meets King Crimson. Izz and Little Atlas are also excellent bands. Their latest offerings are higly recommended. "Deafening Silence" of Izz's "My River Flows" is simply one of the best songs I have heard for years. |

Adding Gerard (and Ars Nova) was a Freudian slip, I love these bands since the early Nineties, indeed, not really new bands ... By the way, this list is very subjective, it's my personal taste! And thanks for the reactions |

Thanks Timothy Leary and Anael ( I only know Malibran - check out their DVD
 - and Distillieri Di Malto), good to read that there are still so many progrock bands I don't know!

So MUCH music out there! Gotta check out some of them aforementioned acts!
More to the point of this thread, indeed, lots of impressive bands need more exposure, and as to which of them I've heard of and/or highly : moderately enjoy would be Echolyn, Glass Hammer, Riverside, Bijou, Ayreon, Cabezas De Cera, Mind Sky, Pallas, PFM, Banco, Le Orme, Anekdoten, Liquid Scarlet, Riverside, and Indukti. I recently stumbled upon in my playlist (I get albums daily and upload them into my itunes list; too many one might say, to the point where I can't possibly listen to all coming in) a band called The Grand Silent System. I'm not sure how to classify them, but I think - le sigh, labels - they'd fall under the Art-Rock category, and I think they're an Australian band...pretty decent song-orientated slightly world-music vibed stuff. Fans of Dredg and other bands of their ilk (drawing a black at 4 in the morning U.S. Time) should look into them. |

I listened to a MP3 of The Grand Silent System on their website. A very good recommendation indeed. Will do a reach for their cd's for sure. |

Those are tho ones I know the most and the ones I really like. Yeah, I've mp3 from a lot of them, ProgArchives is the place where I come searching for information, and it's not so hard to find good recordings here in Chile.
I totally agree... but I'm still searching for Circe full album  |
