I know exactly what you meanLOL You also happen to mention some that I forgot. Bauhaus, Massive Attack and Trentemøller fxBig smile
I still need to check out Swans, but judging by reviews I´ve read about them, then they should be right up my alley. 

Have you by any chance heard a band called Saturnia? Portuguese psychedelic, electronic trip-hop, indo-raga and very spacey. 
Listed here at PA under Indo-prog.

This is more of a drum n bass meets trip hop type of beats, but everything else is pure psych. From the debut:

Yes you should, quite an extensive discography, so I would recommend
1. The Great Annihilator
2. While Light From the Mouth of Infinity
3. Children of God

Listening to Saturnia now (myspace), sounds promising

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Cool- thanks for the recs Bonnek!
Seems every time I speak to you - you add stuff to my, by now, very long listLOL
Let me get you back! You need some Exmagma in your collection. Brilliant krautrock mixed with fusion. I´ve read your Embryo reviews, and I´ll be damned if you wouldn´t find Exmagma to be very interestingBig smile

There's lots more.
System of a Down is one of my favorite bands! I went to one of their concerts in May! Smile

Wow, I'm jealous! I would really love to see them.

Apparently I'm out of the loop, I thought they broke up!
Nah, they're just on hiatus, but they're currently doing a tour. Don't think they're making an album though.

The Smashing Pumpkins,The Doors, The Beatles, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return To Forever, Weather Report, Miles Davis, Led Zeppelin, Sonic Youth, Steely Dan, The Band, The Velvet Underground, Alice In Chains, Elton John, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Soundgarden, Silversun Pickups, The Cure. Alot of these bands in my list would fit under Prog-Related, Proto Prog and Jazz Fusion. To me Jazz Fusion isn't Prog. It is related to Prog, they coincide alot of the time and Jazz Fusion is a blueprint genre and influence but they are vastly, vastly different to me.

Her music is certainly experimental and progressive, like Bowie's was in all reality, but her music is more analogous to Art Rock than Prog Rock.
