At the beginning of this decade, in 2011, After Crying released a concept album in the best tradition of chamber-prog.
The album is titled Creatura (translated "Being") and sung completely in Hungarian.

For the fans of chamber-prog, I'd like to recommend After Crying's album Show (from 2003) as well.
And wow, that "Agoston" sure posts a lot of YouTube clips of Eastern European bands!
or should it be
or even
Hungary is Central Europe.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.

So few clues. So much time.
...mind you, I really like After Crying.

Clearly the winner Days of Future Passed
This is the best combination and perhaps one of the earliest
this actually works
What a fine album
Well, it's the one Moodies album I still keep pulling out on wanting to hear them. Gorgeous work, and it all does - 'work', I mean.

Just remembered a favorite of mine: Visitation by Pekka Pohjola. The orchestral swells on “Try to Remember” are just sublime!
Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883...
That album has a special place in my heart. Bought it in Helsinki, during a travel through Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark. 'Try to remember' is a great track.
Its a mystery how In The Court is considered as the 1st Progressive album
Days of Future Passed has set the template for Symphonic Prog
and... In The Court brows and steals shamelessly here
That's such a fascinating observation. Never thought of it.
What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it brings forth a sound.
have a listen to the album - there are specific moments that you can point out were KC took their ideas from
But this is merely a classic example of a retroactive taxonomy. Progressive rock - or what the term soon came to denote - was itself clearly at play before the debut KC; with groups who stretched the hitherto boundaries of so-called psychedelic rock to completely uncharted terrains as with Zappa/Mothers, Spirit, Kaleidoscope, Soft Machine, Touch, first two Family, Procol, The Nice and yeah, the Moodies indeed.
Truth be told, the reference to Future Passed did play a part in contemporary reviews of In the Court. You can read as much in the booklet to the Young Person's Guide to KC compilation as well as other places. I suppose some of the reason why the "first 'real' prog" tag stuck with In the Court is that it displayed more of certain traits, such as tight interplay, venomous riffing, improvisations and fantasy lyrics. Still, songs like "Epitaph" and the title track are directly rooted in Future Passed and Lost Chord.

Played the original Deep Purple album a few weeks back. It's just as ropey as I remember it being, with Blackmore's soloing being the only time it lurches into life for me. I find this direction a total cul-de-sac for them and I'm glad they didn't really pursue it. (Although there's also their version of Lord's Gemini Suite thing which came out decades later.)
I too am a big fan of Days Of Future Passed. Peter Knight later went onto arrange for the Carpenters.
I don't think we've had any more 'visitations' lately. Or have we??
The metropole orchestra conducted by Vince Mendoza with a tribute to Joe Zawinul. Pretty good imo but judge yourself and comment if you like to. With extra guests: Victor Bailey, Alex Acuna, Jim Beard, Peter Erskine and Amit Chatterjee. Nubian Sundance is a tune originally performed by Wheater Report.
They have worked with a lot of artists. There is also a concert with Steve Vai.
