Riverside - Second Life Syndrome (2005)
This is exactly how I like my progressive rock. It's bold and complex yet doesn't stray into self-indulgent, technical wanking territory, and it's pretty much in a similar ballpark to bands like Porcupine Tree, Amplifier and Anathema. I'm really digging the seamless mix of heavy guitar riffs, synths, atmospheric passages and amazing vocals that are on offer here. It's moving and memorable stuff.
