Ozric Tentacles - The Yumyum Tree
Afterglow - Wobbler
Huuro Kolkko - Alamaailman Vasarat
Beacons of Ancestorship - Tortoise
The Pariah, the Parrot, the Delusion - dredg

also looking forward to the new Jaga Jazzist out in January

One of my favs of 2009

OSI--BLOOD

:)

Porcupine Tree -- The Incident
This has to be my favorite of 2009.

But in fact, thanks to Darran and SA, I've been re-turned-on to some new prog that has added some fantastic audio to my life, including many of the pre-2009 "Porky Tree" and others.

Life is good! Happy New Year! Peace!

Frequency - IQ. Am I the only person who thinks that, apart from the first track, it's not that good?

Seven, by Phideaux, is excellent. I'm not sure what else came out this year since I've been discovering all sorts of bands this year.

BLACK CLOUDS & SILVER LININGS
Dream Theater

Probably Alan, everybody's got their own opinion, I like the album quite a lot. Saw IQ on Saturday in South Yorkshire and they gave a mighty fine concert supported by Anne-Marie Helder (Panic Room vocalist)

Sorry I missed Phideaux when they came through near here --  my friends who saw them liked them quite a bit. Have liked the Decemberists material that I've heard quite a bit. Not sure I've heard anything from the new Wobbler, but have really dug material from Hinterland. Great lists, guys, to help guide our explorations, thanks!

Considerd a bit mainstream but still Muse with there album Resistance  .... Also Porcupine Tree with Incident, Dream Theater Black Clouds & Silver Linings, Pure Reason Revolution Deus Ex Machina (Need to hear more from that album guys  ;)) and the Prog Metal act Guilt Machine on a perfect day ... This albums I own legally  ;)

Hey Macros! Yes, would like to er more from Deus Ex Machina, as The Dark Third was a favorite of mine for a while.

Seen them live in 2008 at a local music hall I wasn't really impressed over there but stll enjoy there studio albums a sure lot ....

A lot of people have recommended this album ("On A Perfect Day" - Guilt Machine), the fact that I don't particularly like Prog Metal has put me off getting it but I may try it.

The Tangent's "Down And Out In Paris and London" has also done well in end of year polls.

Guilt Machine from Arjen Anthony Lucassen's Stallion is sure something worth to check out as are all products of Arjen specially Star One and Ayreon ...
