Yes, well done! Can't believe I forgot to mention Rush's new album!

BTW @ Mrd00d, you'll be glad to know I have a Buckethead (not literally, of course) in my stack for listening/review. His new one, something about an electric sea, I think? I'll let you know what I think --- well, I'll probably let everyone know, by reviewing it...

Looking forward to it!

Each sounds completely different, but they stand out vividly in a genre that most people will agree is a tad overcrowded and samey. 
And on a final note, who can forget the psychedelic, swirling folkish side of the progressive rock spectrum....

Aha! You are right! Both excellent albums, although I enjoyed Astra's The Weirding more... I am happy to have more from them as always.
Still need to get Storm Corrosion but I've heard most of not all of it.
Wo Fat - The Black Code
Sigh - In Somniphobia
Buckethead - The Shores of Molokai
Sula Bassana - Dark Days
Devin Townsend Project - Epicloud
Diablo Swing Orchestra - Pandora's Pinata
Well, they all have prog elements. They're all prog related.
