We're a quarter into 2023 with many great albums already released. What are your top 5 so far? Don't dig or contemplate too much. Save that for the year end. Mine: 1. Witch Ripper - the Flight After the Fall 2. Plank! - Future of the Sea 3. Atsuko Chiba - Water, It Feels Like It's Growing 4. Siena Root - Revelation 5. Zopp - Dominion ------------- You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all. |

my top-5 so far: The Waeve - s/t Aisles - Beyond Drama Shame - Food for Worms Super Pink Moon - Iron Rain HMLTD - The Worm
Since you'd enjoyed these two may I recommend you this: |

I feel like it's been an exceptionally strong year already, especially compared to last year. Off the top of my head I'd go for, in no particular order:
But right on their heels I have:
That Rain album in particular really needs some more ears on it IMO. To me they come across sort of like the UK's answer to Echolyn - nothing particularly showy on the surface, but there's real depth to the songwriting if you're willing to put the time in with it. |

I've not listened to enough new music of relevance for PA yet. 2023 favorite so far is The Necks - Travel. Also not on PA, but I guess I think they belong here. My favorite actually in PA is the always wonderful Kosmischer Läufer's new album Volume Five |

I listened to your album when it first came out and liked it but actually enjoyed some of your earlier stuff better. After your post, I went back again. I realized that I'm not as into straight doom like at the beginning of SotW, but that's just my taste, it's well done. But then listening with somewhat fresh ears to the whole album, I'm digging it a lot more. More psych and prog. Odd time in Porcelain is really good, and just the variation of so many textures. The middle section of SotW is my kind of music, and I dig the guitar sound which has more of a single coil feel in a lot of places even thought it's really heavy. So - Bravo good sir. ------------- You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all. |

Here's mine, decided to branch out a bit, want to go and listen to more genres I like this year than just solely prog rock. 1. Scaring The Hoes by JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown 2. Carousel by Vylet Pony 3. Seeking The Sources of Streams by Cicada 4. Fauna by Haken 5. Periphery V: Djent Is Not A Genre by Periphery No really big five star masterpiece yet, but maybe one day 2023 will have that big stand out album, like what 2022 had with All The Pretty Days by Fren. ------------- D~B |

Wasn't aware of a new album by them. Looking forward to it. The Zopp-album as well (which I was aware of, but simply haven't checked out yet). So far I've got: Swans - The Beggar The Necks - Travel King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard - PetroDragonic Apocalypse* Susanne Sundfør - Blómi Kosmischer Läufer - Volume Five -and that's pretty much all I got too... with any sort of PA-relevance I mean. *; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation |

Aksak Maboul - Une aventure de VV (Songspiel) Squid - O Monolith Kong - Traders of Truth Battlestations - Memories of once Kavus Torabi & Richard Wileman - Heaven's Sun I don't list the Swans album yet, only heard it once, but chances are it'll be top 5. Just didn't make it: Zopp - Dominion, Poil Ueda Not on PA: Mammal Hands - Gift from the Trees; Jeremias Keller - Alloy. The Necks album isn't bad either.

One more I wasn't aware of (the Songspiel one) and another I was aware of but haven't gotten around to checking out yet (O Monolith). Edit: just listened to a couple of songs from the latter bands latest, and decided to buy. Sounded amazing. I heard the quality of the music but wasn't personally completely sold on their debut, but I've understood that O Monolith is a different beast.

| I only have one album from 2023 so far, but since so many people have mentioned Zopp's Dominion, I checked that out, and it's very nice! I've come across their debut album before but didn't listen to it IIRC. So if I decide to get that one on CD some time this year that would be my top 1 at that point I guess. |

Which one? Ultraphauna are approved for addition to Eclectic I just haven't got round to it yet. Natural Information Society would be a good add.

Just wanted to give a mention to a superb album released about two months ago. Marco Minnemann "Their Colors Fade". This is one of those albums that get better with every listen, and Marco's guitar playing is excellent. Currently it has two ratings at PA. Anyone want to be number three?

both outdone themselves imo.

I'm really looking forward to that Chronicles Of Father Robin release. I have the 2013 ep which I hope to review in a week or two. This is the first time I've ever preordered an album. I'll actually be able to contribute to the 2023 Top Albums list. Last year I honestly didn't even have a top 5 worthy of voting for although since then I have picked up some great records from that year. I'm more in tune this year. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

| Southern Empire - Another World. Been listening to this a lot and has one of the best epics I've heard this year in White Shadows as well as a couple of melodious short songs Hold Onto Me and Butterfly. These guys can certainly play and manage to chuck in a bit of fusion into the mix just to prove the point! A band that is improving and deserve an audience imo. |

Bands that are not progressive in any way are tagged with this "not on PA". What's the point? Also, if there are bands that you think are progressive and not on PA, do suggest them. Otherwise, what's the point of the tag?

^ The "not on pa" part just indicates that at my website there isn't a link to pa for the album - so the link will take you to AwesomeProg instead of PA.

Nice to see Jesy Chiang and Taiwan's CICADA getting some love! If only PA had a "Chamber Prog" sub-genre the band might be able to be admitted into the database. Their seven studio album releases since 2009 have all, respectively, landed in my year-end top 20s. ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

^ nice list, perhaps a little suprised that Seven Impale is so low down. I will still only do a top 5 for the moment. 1. Zopp - Dominion 2. Seven Impale - Summit 3. Agusa - Prima Materia 4. Caravela Escarlate - III 5. Lumsk - Fremmede Toner I also love The Syn - Illusion. Technically a 2023 release I am unable to find out any information about it but I suspect it was recorded around 2004/5 when the band resurfaced. Anyone knows different please tell me!

Hi, Listened to the whole thing, and I got to admit ... it takes guts to do stuff like that and make it work. By the 10th piece, it gets a bit tiresome, but it's still good, but the first 3 pieces alone are quite a wake up and interesting thing, and they never break into a "song", or any kind of format, and that is a really serious attempt at creating live improvisation in music ... something that is not exactly easy to do, but these folks were up for it. Very nice stuff, with amazing moments! I suppose that I wanted to hear some Ax Gernrich like stuff, like the really early days when Ax went all out crazy and no one could really keep up with him ... but, still, this is excellent, and shows some guts by very special musicians. I was thinking that this is more "avant-garde" than it is "progressive". And Risa Takeda is far out, playing keyboards in a style that defies description. Excellent ability to mix and match and make things work. She's just as strong in the material with Mani. She might be the highlight of the whole thing, though everyone in it is really fine.

I was off on a electronic ambient binge. My list hasn't changed a lot but I need to revisit a bunch of material. Everyone else's lists will get me started. 1. Witch Ripper - the Flight After the Fall 2. Seven Impale - Summit 3. Plank! - Future of the Sea 4. Atsuko Chiba - Water, It Feels Like It's Growing 5. Sleep Token - Take Me Back to Eden I really like the new Baroness and Queens of the Stone Age. Prog-adjacent I suppose. Very interesting on first listens, will likely make the final list: Father Robin Mercury Tree Hackberry ------------- You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all. |

Glad you enjoyed it! Risa Takeda really is an out-of-this-world performer. If you enjoyed her work here I highly recommend her other collaborations with Tatsuya Yoshida as well (even if they arguably lean even further towards the avant-garde side than this album does) ------------- https://mirasnelder.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow - Freelance composer, accepting commissions | https://mirasnelder.bandcamp.com/album/altered-acuity" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp page |

| I haven't heard tons but the latest by these artists have all been great: Chronicles of Father Robin, Glass Hammer, Pattern Seeking Animals, Caravela Escalarte, Unitopia, Jordsjo, Hackberry and Agusa. Also, an honorable mention to the latest Trevor Rabin. I have Seven Impale and Lars Frederik Froislie but for some reason haven't gotten around to listening to them yet. |
