    naaah, because originally all these clones were included inside the neo-prog category/genre. (some of them were moved of genre afterwards)

    Adding post rock as a genre was already quite a fight (against the symph-weenies), and the fight to include JR/F was a homeric struggle in 2005
    my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.

    But how did you succeed in the end? Did you kill them?

    I'll throw these guys on the pile. For Astronauts And Satellites, an interesting mix of postrock and chiptune. Their music is available on Bandcamp.

Somehow I can't see all too many self-consciously math rock artists yearning for comparisons with acts who insist that "progressive" is still as was 40 years ago.
    If those clips are typical, it's certainly not like your Yes or your Genesis or your ELP. I was of course meaning "progressive" with a small 'p'.

    Having said that, I can't say I liked any of those camples.

    Check this one out, from Spain, Toundra. They have a few albums under their belt. This is called "IV" but I am not sure if they already have three full albums released before it.

    Which is absolutely fine, but nevertheless completely beside the point; these and numerous other "math rock" acts are progressive bands of today (although a couple of them are defunct now) who for the most part enjoy(ed) a significant reputation among various parts of the independent rock audience - and who toured and sold albums (sometimes surprisingly many of them) without having a todder to to with Genesis or ELP. Progressive rock music was always about what the music states and creates and achieves in the larger scheme of artistic things - not about "fitting a map".

    I lobbied the allmighty Max - who as a web entrepreneur was for his site to be as "inclusive" as possible instead of "exclusive"
