Ahhh, I hadn't looked it up I just knew he had ties to Motorpsycho, thanks!

I actually forgot to include the Kaukasus altogether, although it's very, very good. For some reason I might have thought of it as a 2013 release, confusing it with Mattias' album with Walrus (which was also great).

“Remember, if it doesn't say "Cuneiform," it's not prog!” - THE Jed Levin
Any time any one speaks to me about any musical project, the one absolute given is "it will not make big money". [tip of the hat to HK]
"Death to false 'support the scene' prog!"
please add 'imo' wherever you like, to avoid offending those easily offended.
Thanks, Steve! Ears Wide Open, after all.....LOL.
Your offerings are a significant part of this list. No surprise.
I keep coming back to Cellar and Point. I'm hoping they have a nice long career giving me more awesome music. Really cool sound. Would love to board a plane and hear them live!
I don't know who 'we' is, but I certainly had it on mine.did we have Seven Impale-City Of The Sun on the list?
Oops, sure we did
I have to add Nils Frahms' Spaces to my list -- electro and piano, very pretty space music.
rcarlberg: Is there anything sadder than a song that has never been played?
Plasmatopia: Maybe a song in D minor that has never been played?
bob_32_116: That would be a terrific triple bill: Cyan, Magenta and Yello.
trurl: The Odyssey: "He's trying to get home."
PoiL - Brossaklitt
An album that is an absolute gem, and may possibly be regarded as a proggy masterpiece in a few years down the road when the rust has settled.
It's certainly no. 1 on my list. With Aquaserge and Cellar & Point arguing for the second slot.

I just discovered the new Amenophis album. They had one of the better albums of the 80's and it's been 26 years since their last one. Welcome back!
