The Flower Kings - Paradox Hotel
Saga - Trust
Toto - Falling In Between

I'm going to have to listen to The Tangent's new one; however, first listen didn't do a lot for me.

I am going to have trouble even finding one
 
Confused
 
 
Most of those cited in the list do not even pique my curiosity and the Tool album I heard last WE does not come knee-height to AenimaCry
 
And the new Paatos album, although better than Kallocain is not up to par with the debut Timeloss
 
not a good year so farShocked
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Tool's and The Flower Kings' albums are easily the best ones I've heard from 2006.
 
The tangent one is great, but some synth sounds and that singer are annoying. The music reminds you of many many bands. However, some of the best hammond organ riffs/solos are here.

Kayo Dot's Dowsing Anenome with Copper Tongue. I've also heard Tool's latest but it doesn't come anywhere close.

I've heard, in order of my liking

The Tangent - A Place In The Queue (****)
Tool - 10,000 Days (****)
The Devin Townsend Band - Synchestra (**)
David Gilmour - On an island (**)

I plan to track down Free shortly. Of course, I'm sure Scarsick is going to destroy all of these.

If they can get heard. They're already getting lots of slams for being Prog throwbacks on the one side and Not Prog Enough on the other (just check the two-star review on Amazon.co.uk).

There seem to be some pretty big plans afoot for the US, though. I don't really see the point, as I think they're much more likely to have European appeal.

My favourites for this year, at the moment are:

Tool - 10,000 Days: What an amazing album!!!! Maybe their best effort until now.
The Tangent - A Place in the Queue: The second disc from this mega-band was a weakly one, but this record sounds like a blast!!! One of the best wotk of the year.
 
Non prog:
Ahleuchatistas - What You Will: Even that is not here, in the progarchives, this extremily original power trio form the Cuneiform's catalogue made a record that all the fans of free-jazz and punk enjoy. 
 
That's is, for the moment... i'm thinking in others... prog obviously, like the last of Evergrey, "Resonator", from Tony Levin, Umphrey's last one and, even if it's not prog, the last one of sir Paul McCartney... what a beautiful record is it!!!.
 
Greetings

I'm afraid that the "new" release is only a world-wide re-edition of the EP Voices In My Head which was a 2005 release in Poland.

Paradox Hotel is really the only good thing to be realesed this year so far. 10,000 days is alright...
I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

There's also a useful list on this website, called ProgArchives: http://www.progarchives.com/top-prog-albums.asp?year=2006
 
Ever heard of that website, Mike? Wink
 
BTW so far I've only heard a few albums this year. I'll post my favourites a bit later on. Smile

Oh my oh my, there have been PLENTY of quality releases so far in 2006...it's hard to narrow them down!

Tool - 10,000 Days
The Tangent - A Place in the Queue
The Flower Kings - Paradox Hotel
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium
The Devin Townsend Band - Synchestra
Vanden Plas - Christ 0
The Flaming Lips - At War with the Mystics
Mogwai - Mr. Beast

A bad year for prog???Exclamation No way man!

My favorites so far are Tool's and The Flaming Lips' offerings.  On a side note, I recommend everyone find some way to watch the Red Hot Chili Pepper's (not prog, i know, but still awesome) new music vide, 'Dani California.' One of the best (and funniest) vids i've ever seen. I know they have it over at Vh1.com.
