Over an hour of the hottest prog sounds around today, hand-picked for you with Prog's warmest compliments. Enjoy ...

01 & 02 AEON ZEN - Enigmatic Soul / Divinity Rich Hinks' progressive UK metallers return with the heady mix of technical flourishes and melodic progression - all served with a distinct edge. It sees the collective taking early influences like Opeth and Dream Theater into fresh dimensions.

03 BUSHMAN'S REVENGE - Iron Bloke Norwegians who started in 2003 and take jazz, crash into Frank Zappa, then add in some metallic impetus. The result? Tight but loose music that sounds improvised, yet within a tight structure.
Taken from: A Little Big Of Big Bonanza on Rune Grammofon.

04 NERVE TOY TRIO - The Riddle Of Anything Featuring Touchstone drummer Henry Rogers, this trio have been going for two years, combining power trio, jazz fusion and progressive instincts. The influences may come from King Crimson, Rush and Pat Metheny, but the impact is original.
Taken from: The Hard Cell on Burning Shed.

05 CHRIS FRY - Secret Garden The Magenta guitarist strikes out on his own, and how! This is taken from his debut solo album, a record that showcases not only his many and varied influences, but also his ability to translate this all into a strongly focused, classical approach. Listen and marvel!
Taken from: Composed on Milemusic.

06 CAKEWALK - Glass A Norwegian trio who are renowned for their ability to improvise, Cakewalk combine drones and riffs in a cascade of charismatic noise and bruising power. Yet it also has a real sense of progressive muscularity and complexity, akin to Radiohead with distortion.
Taken from: Wired on Hubro.

07 EDISON'S CHILDREN - Fracture This duo formed when Marillion/Transatlantic bassist Pete Trewavas met Eric Blackwood while tuning up on a US tour. The music is epic, haunting and very different to anything Pete's done before.
Taken from: In The Last Waking Moments ... on Random Disturbance.

08 PANIC ROOM - Song For Tomorrow The highly rated band return with their third album. It takes Panic Room's established sound further forward, combining lush melodies with delicate yet thrusting musicianship. Clearly still among the best bands on the Brit scene.
Taken from: Skin on Esoteric Antenna.

09 HEADSPACE - Die With A Bullet Unfairly, the presence of Damian Wilson and Adam Wakeman will have people dismissing this as just another supergroup. But the music is thoughtful, clever and passionate. Headspace have their own style and imagination.
Taken from: I Am Anonymous on InsideOut.

10 ERIC NORLANDER - Astrology Prelude A multifaceted musician, Norlander has been involved in around 30 albums. His playing has been compared to Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman, but he bends these inspirations to fit his own sparkling musical vision.
Taken from: The Galactic Collective - Definite Edition on Gonzo Multimedia.

11 QUIDAM - Saiko Przedwiosnie On their sixth album, Quidam develop an atmosphere that hinges on sparseness but also diversity, using folk, power chords and progressive sensibilities. The Polish sextet's exquisite artistry creates a moodiness that's dynamic and beautiful, the sound of a band facing new challenges and meeting them!
Taken from: Saiko on Rock-Serwis.

12 SENDELICA - Magical Ninin No strangers on the pages of Prog, here's a band woho combine elements of space rock, psychedelia and electronica. The Welsh band then add in their own flavours - and some very long album titles - to provide the soundtrack to a wigged-out acid trip. Magical indeed.
