To be honest half of the new prog bands on this site that come up i've never even heard of before and never really cared less, I never really held out much for prog these days, never thought it would be worthwhile. Then I decided to buy 'Agaetis Byrjun' and 'Frances the Mute'!! I was amazed at how brilliant they were!! and ultimately deserving of the title "Progressive". So I now have a keen interest in finding new prog groups. Anyway, I'd love to hear a few recommendations! Whichever record comes up the most I promise i'll buy it!! I'm well acquainted with a lot of the classic bands, so any new groups similar to the 70s greats would be cool too... ------------- My computer's broke |

Hey man, you want new school or old school? New school:* Magic Pie--Motions of Desire * Porcupine Tree--In Absentia * Riverside--Out of Myself * Echolyn--As the World * Carptree--Man Made Machine * Arena--Contagion
Old school (actually new school, but with 70's texture): * Anglagard--Hybris * Wobbler--Hinterland * Anekdoten---Nucleus * IQ--Dark Matter |

the best thing you can do would be to play the MP3s on this site...that'll take you thru 2006!! Porcupine Tree are a bit like Pink Floyd, kind of spacey...if you like that sort of thing, also check out Pineapple Thief. IQ are neo-prog, so a bit like Marillion, in the Genesis tradition...but at the top of the tree in their particular field... if you like them, also check out Pendragon, Arena & Jadis. hope this helps...

If you're into jazz OR jazz/fusion, or just jazz influenced rock, please by The Flower Kings Unfold The Future. I've listened to it a billion times and I'm still not tired of it yet. It's simply amazing, as for the two new CD's you bought Frances... and Agaetis..., I enjoyed those as well. I would suggest; Echolyn - 'The End Is Beautiful' Magic Pie - 'Motions of Desire' Spock's Beard - 'V' Spock's Beard - 'Snow' Riverside - 'Out of Myself' OR 'Second Life Syndrome' Porcupine Tree - EITHER 'Deadwing' or 'Sky Moves Sideways' Dream Theater - 'Scenes From A Memory Pt II' And of course The Flower Kings - 'Unfold The Future' for your own good. These bands will give you a look into modern prog, that isn't "Neo", because I would never suggest anything from that genre, except perhaps Marillion. People seem to like Marillion these days... The most 70's related bands I mentioned are probably The Flower Kings and Magic Pie. Some people argue Porcupine Tree and Spock's Beard are both 70's induced as well. You won't regret buying any of these albums I mentioned. Goodluck. |

it depends what you like, Winter...its very spacey/ atmospheric/ ambient... it's good, but quite different from their later stuff... if you listened to Sky, then Deadwing, you wouldn't believe you were listening to the same band, so it would be best to give a few of their albums a go.... ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

Coheed and Cambria - In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 it might be a little too "new-prog" for you. theyre very unconventional. also 3 - Wake pig (3 is quite possibly the best new prog band) |

both coheed & cambria and 3 are from New York. for new british prog, check out RAIN, he's a solo artist from england, his sound is similar to older genesis and gilmour-era pink floyd |

winter wine, check out "Red Sparowes - At The Soundles Dawn" if you like Sigur Ros. Its not in the site yet, but is a new and promising post-rock band with a very solid debut.
