Prog rock continues to be inventive and exciting. I'm currently listening to a fine Dutch band called Flambrough Head. Lovely, flowing melodies and fine guitar/flute/keyboard interplay!

Starcastle (formed by R.E.O. Speedwagon's original lead singer)have just released their first album in nearly thirty years and it's outstanding. "Yes-like" is what most reviews will say, but I don't find it derivative at all.

The two "Icon" albums released by John Wetton and Geoffrey Downes are at the more commercial end of prog but they're wonderful for all that.

Chimpan A formed by members of Magenta and The Storys is unclassifiable! It's complex, melodic and just different from anything else I've ever heard!

There are many good prog sites. Check 'em out. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to smooth down the fur on my anorack!
