The suggestion is that:
It’s not just the quantity of new Prog releases, but the quality of them that distinguishes the last 18 months or so as potentially a new golden era in Prog.
Bands have upped the bar in terms of quality, be it in the areas of composition, chops, sounds, recording quality, etc, whatever floats your boat.
We’ve seen fewer derivative releases, and see bands creating their own sounds, unique combinations of influences, their own ‘take’ on Prog music.
Whatever your particular tastes are in Prog music, there’s been a number of releases that ‘do it’ for you from 2012/2013.
So, focusing less on which bands we’re thinking of as we’ll all have our own take on it, generally, do we think this suggestion is true?
Phil.
