Modern prog album suggestions

Also picked up "Overlook" by Fromuz. 5 tracks clocking in at just over 69 minutes. There's only "short" clips up on their myspace: Link Removed Progarchives.com has a full track: Invalid Link Removed

I bought this one about a month ago, but really didn't like it that much. The guitarist tried to do a buncha technical solos and riffs, but he really isn't up to it. Their first album is better.

Tetrafusion's "Absolute Zero"

Instrumental prog/experimental metal.

Instrumental concept album dealing with astronomy, cosmology, and physics.

Obviously it's my band (as my sig says)..but would love for you guys to give a listen. We have a full-length released, so I figured I'd post it!

I liked it. I might just buy it.

I've got to give a +1 to Protest the Hero - Fortress
I've listended to that album an insane number of times this year! I'd never cared for screamy vocals but there's a nice mix!

It was voted #2 album of last year by Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater!

I was hoping someone would mention Din Within - if you like the Spock's Beard/Transatlantic/Genesis/Floyd kind of vibe, there's plenty of that mixed in...

I think it's great to see albums from TalkBass members here!! Maybe we should create a topic about "prog albums from TalkBass"?

Anyway, mine is available sinde March 7th, it's not really modern and more of a "crossover prog" but maybe you can like it:

Another shameless plug...

Here are a couple of tunes out of 6 we recorded so the drummer could have a bonified CD with his name on it. It isn't the final mix but our sound magician had a stroke this week and the drummer decided on a deadline (***?) so this is pretty close:

Not sure if Ozric Tentacles has been mentioned, but I just picked up "The Floor's Too Far Away" and I'm really digging it!

one of my all-time favorite bands.

I don't have that one, but I have almost all the others. Pick up Spirals in Hyperspace and Waterfall Cities if you haven't already, those are my favorites.

 

[Gubna]

I think I'll get them all...eventually.

Just got Waterfall Cities, and while it's good. I think I like Strangetude more.

Crap, Rhapsody removed Fromuz. I guess I was the only one listening to them. Sad.

Great sound, sometimes it misses some vocals, but not that much.

Mastodon - Crack the Skye

Any "Happy The Man" fans here?

Queensryche (if you like prog metal) released a new album.

 

[VisualShock]

[Hayde]

I got a CD in the back of a British magazine "Classic Rock" They had a Prog Rock Issue. Anyway three of the bands I really like :

1. Mystery (If Rush and Kansas had a love child)
2. Panic room (Anne-Marie Helders voice just floors me)
3. The Pineapple thief (odd time sigs but still grooves)
