Found their whole back catalogue on Bandcamp and have become more than a little obsessed in the last couple of weeks.

Mouse has some really interesting ideas, and some of the Acts are wonderful.
Crucifixion on Don't bring the rain is brilliant at time as well 

But the Song I just can't seem to stop playing over and over is 'Rocking Horse' - not sure how I missed it all these years but its everything neo prog should be to me :) - enjoy Act 2 as well

I have seen posts on here by Les and the guitarist has posted in some youtube comments that they are working on more Rocking horse acts to make up a whole album

Anyone have any idea if they are still working towards more material ?

I love this forum - listened to more new albums in the last few weeks than I have for years :)

Very underrated band these days. I used to have "don't bring the rain" and always thought it was a very good album especially "the crucifixion" which must rank as one of the most underrated and underappreciated epics of all time. I don't know if they are still around or not. I'll need to revisit them at some point. More neo fans need to know about them.

The singer posted a selfie from the studio in November, so... maybe?

That band performed very powerful music, no band, even out of neo-prog, portrays better being torn between both heavenly dreamesque and cold brutal dark , my favs are the Changeling, also Rocking Horse part 1

The band are on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/aragonmusic/) and it seems they are indeed working towards more material when and where they can.

From a post in September last year:
"Just a quick update from lockdown central. Unfortunately it's still a thing here in Melbourne and we have been so limited in what we can do (for all the right reasons of course), that Rocking Horse Act 3 is still on hold as we cannot get in to the studio to finish the bloody thing. I have been listening to an unmixed version for a while now and its sounding awesome. First time I've been happy with a result in years."
