I was about to. Seriously, KG was a genius. Great stuff - you should check him out. Of course, don't forget the obvious: Spock's Beard The Flower Kings Transatlantic Echolyn Glass Hammer etc... |

A band I haven't seen mentioned is Sylvan. I recently bought Posthumous Silence on the strength of PA reviews, and am very glad I did. An exceptional album.

His only prog stuff is with NRG. His solo stuff, as long as Giraffe or Toy Matinee are mort art-rock / art-pop / mainstream rock. Kaviar could be regarded as noise rock. He recorded a lot of powerful ballads like Dana Rae, Long Day's Life (much better in its demo version that on the shaming), Another Day and had an incredible voice.
NRG could be considered as neo-prog.
NRG :
All NRG tracks are downloadable for free on his webpage.
And yes, he is a great loss for music in general.

Diagonal, or for a folkier approach, Circulus.
Interesting that somebody should mention Deluge Grander - try the first, first. The second is slightly more complex and, for me, less immediately accessible.

I'm having a hard time finding a lot of things these days ... and the reason why, is that too many of them sound like everything else that has been there before and many times not very original.
I had been listening for a long time to Live 365 stuff and there were several threads in there with progressive music, but after a while, the whole thing is so repetitive that it is boring and I get tired of hearing the same thing over and over and over again ... specially when it isn't that good, but the majority of those shows are not capable of breaking the "radio" format and always have to return to another 5 minute song ... which for me takes the enjoyment out of it.
It has become like ... you can't enjoy music without having to be force fed by the media styles, and thus some of these links will play one nice thing, and then they have to go back and play YES, ELP or KC, just to let us know that they are "progressive" ... and in the end, this is just bad radio ... like the same kind of radio that did not believe in this music in those days ... it's all they know, all they listen to and all they play ... and be damned if anyone says anything else!
I'm already thinking that this "progressive" thing is falling off and to be honest, I wish it a speedy death and end ... and let rap and crap get there instead ... we have to get better than talk about Mozart and Beethoven (as a relative parallel) but the throng in this board (sometimes) is only interested in the top 5 bands and that's that. Specially when one mentions other parts of the world and some people don't believe that world exists. Edited by moshkito - October 05 2010 at 18:28 |

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Definitely. That was a big part of the reason I initially decided to listen to it when it was in Scott's recommendation thread - I was hoping for good spacey stuff, and I wasn't disappointed. Edited by SaltyJon - October 06 2010 at 23:17 |

Par Lindh Project
anything by them is worth getting but check out the reviews section to get a better idea especially mine and Ivans.
Martin Orford
ex IQ keyboard player who has released two superb solo albums. Seems to be flying under the radar which is a shame as I havn't heard anything better in recent years.Again please check reviews section.
EDIT - I have just found out from reading the reviews section that Martin has retired from the music business. I am absolutely gutted and had no clue that he had done this. Edited by richardh - October 07 2010 at 02:01 |

Wobbler, try it.
And if you like a clone of early Genesis try "The Watch" or "Citizen Cain" |

Don't know how the heck I forgot to mention that one, but seconded - Mei is one of the definitive prog epics of the past decade.

Give Porcupine Tree a try. "Fear of a Blank Planet" or the live album "Arriving Somewhere..." should be a good introduction. Heavy at times but otherwise melodious and ambient; dripping with the English melencholy like Floyd and Genesis.
