My personal favorite: Motorpsycho - Heavy Metal Fruit.Big smile

In fact, progfreak helped me to acquire my beloved Univers Zero. However, do you personally know about one or two good albums that you've listened ? Your and PA's lists are useful, but I also want something from person point of view.

Yes, this is unique phenomenon, most of these groups has pattern:

BEST 70's
getting worse (70/80)
WORST 80's
getting better 90's
BETTER 00's


But Rush are consistent in matter of quality. Well, some may dislike few 80's, but they're still better than many others groups in this.

^^ That would be Motorpsycho - Heavy Metal Fruit ... have a listen (not to the first track though - in the sample they managed to capture the silence in the beginningLOL):

http://www.emusic.com/album/Motorpsycho-Heavy-Metal-Fruit-MP3-Download/11766900.html

I would have listed more albums if I had listened to more albums of 2010 ... right now this is my recommendation. Smile

If you want a description: Space Rock, Vocal Harmonies, Avant-Garde, Epic, Hypnotic, Eclectic, Experimental.Big smile

Actually, this one is very, very good, too, and it's a nice tangent from the Motorpsycho album:

http://www.emusic.com/album/Heart-of-Cygnus-Tales-From-Outer-Space-MP3-Download/11711526.html

It was released in Nov 2009 though, so it's a bit off topic  - but let's face it, good music is what you seek.Big smile

Let me reiterate three albums from my initial list that I strongly recommend

As for Masal, you can still find the album for purchase at online prog vendors, but it is different from the new one:
Masal - Galgal


I second Olav's recommendation of Elephant9


Also be on the lookout for the new:
 Rebel Wheel album - We Are In The Time Of Evil Clocks
Mastermind - Insomnia
Polar Bear - Peepers
Hanging Sounds

I actually prefer Rush from the Eighties onwards to what they did in the Seventies. I don't really care if it's 'prog' or not -  music does not need t be prog to be good.

One more question to you, PA more aged guys than me (who witnessed more ProgArchives winters than I), is it like that every year ? Are first two-three months quite dry with some good albums, but generally less than more pieces ?

i tend to find this generally and not just with prog bands on PA that not too many new albums seem to come out in the first couple of months. I've only bought 2 2010 albums so far and most of my purchases have been catching up on 2009 releases i haven't got round to getting yet.
 
One 2010 album I can highly recomend though is the new one from RACCOMANDATA CON RICEVUTA DI RITORNO. I think we could have a new RPI masterpiece on our hands.

by the way) there are two fine releases, I AM ABOVE ON THE LEFT's "Astro" and BOSCH WITH YOU's posthumous "Wired Promise To Be". The latter is simply one of the best Post-Rock releases I heard in a while. Even if you're not into Post-Rock, you should try this one. Atmospheric and moving

I actually heard just around 10 new albums (from 2010). From them, Jaga Jazzist is one good (not very good, but quite good), Royal Hunt is a bit lower than average ( but with great sound recorded), Jon's Olivia Pain is .... errr , too funny to be listened. John Zorn/Masada first 2010 release is really interesting, but for very special listener ( it is vocals only recording,female a-capella quartet, jazzy, based on klezmer/Masada).

The only album I've heard from this year is Clivages, but it is indeed a great one.

I just ordered this album, and holy crap i don't regret it. Sounds kinda like the stuff VDGG has been concocting lately, but with more technical flair.

Thanks for useful contributions. I've already tried about 20 albums from 2010 and for sure, I don't regret.
