Several here I've never heard of. But what band(s) was Peter Matuchniak in? I know some of his recent stuff.

Thumbs up on the mentions of Dagaband, Edge and Gizmo. Let’s not forget the all-instrumental Gemini. There’s also Tamarisk, who only released a demo cassette, and the horribly-named BunChakeze, whose work only just came out posthumously.
Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883...

Recently found a used copy of East/West, interesting if non-essential slice o'neo.
The Ire (the right ones this time) (also seem to have reformed)
Ranata Spirit (no your sound system ain't broken)
Catching up on this post. I'll always have a soft spot for the genre, as it came about just as I was getting into prog myself in the early 80s while still in high school. I can still remember the metal magazines of the day proclaiming "the Progressives are back!". And yes, it was called NWOBPR to contrast with the much more popular NWOBHM.
So what's the consensus on the new Multi-Story and Third Quadrant albums? (I didn't hear the samples)
This summer I re-listened to the Lahost archival album Erotic Antiques. It really captures the ethos of the era perfectly. Mark - I'm pretty sure you were the one who initially turned me onto it.
Another album I just heard for the first time this past year is from Lord Flimnap and it's titled Point of View. It's from 1989 Israel, but they really capture the 1982 UK vibe. It reminded me of Tamarisk and Trilogy (not sure the latter has been mentioned yet).

Not really underground, but I remember getting my first order from Laser's Edge - it contained the first Galahad album and the Pendragon "The Rest of Pendragon" CD which is early singles and stuff. I played them both back to back, and my wife had a look of barely suppressed horror. We were only recently married, or possibly not even yet but living together. She'd already had to semi-accept Marillion.
