Are you really claiming that anything *genuinely* new is being done? Perhaps in a very few isolated cases, yes, but the overwhelming majority of stuff I've encountered (as I was into prog prior to seeing the light and realizing that most stuff of any genuine worth was in "indie") have clearly been pretty banal and unremarkable reworkings of 70s music (e.g. most of Porcupine Tree, Phideaux Xavier etc). It is no wonder much of it receives such painfully little attention given how unadventurous and derivative it is in reality.

I will check out the archives, anyway, and see for myself. Though I think I know what I'm going to find.
