1.
Heaven's Cry
- Food For Thought Substitute
Reading Zero started as an honest Queensryche-clone, but their music progressively shifted to a more original sound. 9/10

Soul Cages
- Moments
Progressive thrash from the UK, the experimental type. But it works damn well - 9/10
|
|
7.
Dali's Dilemma
- Manifesto For Futurism
Often labelled as a Dream Theater-copycat band, but they actually managed to write some catchy tunes, even though the composing is off bit sometimes. 8/10

Mytra
- Age Of Elegance

11.
Mytra
- Sagittarius
Even though just an instrumental demo, it is really awesome. 9/10
|
|
12.
End Amen
- Your Last Orison
An early '90 australian prog album, strongly influenced by Queensryche and Fates Warning. It really needs a couple of spins to appreciate this, but the song "Separate Ends" struck me like lightning on initial playing.

|
14.
Red Tide
- Inner War
Female fronted german thrash. Style is pretty close to Depressive Age.
|
|
15.
Red Tide
- Themes Of The Cosmic Counsciousness
Sounds like Vuvr and Atheist, but incorporates a lot of hardcore elements.
|
|
16.
Scholomance
- A Treatise On Love
Some italian dudes are trying to play Spiral Architect. Not bad at all.

A fairly new mexican band, that uses a lot of latin instruments.

Never heard of any of these. I think that's more of an indication of how much prog I listen to nowadays. Thanks for the recs.

Vauxdvhil... To Dimension Logic is an absolutely wonderful album... criminally under exposed, perhaps because the band were Australian? It's long been OOP I'm afraid, but was genuinely original. Digital Ruin... I only ever heard their 2nd effort, 'Dwelling In The Out', which was a very bland affair and I'm lead to believe wasn't a patch on their debut, 'Listen'. Heaven's Cry... again, I only heard the Canadian's sophomore effort, 'Primal Power Addiction' which was a similarly underwhelming experience iirc, and a downturn from the debut to which you refer, which again has been long OOP. that's all I can help with I'm afraid... which I agree isn't much help at all.. 
---- First gig was Manowar (loincloths 'n' all), Bristol Colston Hall in March 1983, on the 'Hail to England' tour. Tickets were £3.75, 300 in the audience, Mercyful Fate never showed, but my hearing still got seriously trashed..

Posts: 1571 Written by fandango68 on 09.03.2014 at 18:51 Digital Ruin's second effort sounded a bit flat to me too, but they had something on the debut that I can't really name... makes you check out the album from time to time. Heaven's Cry debut is mASSSIVE. Honestly the best I can pick from the list, apart from Koyaanisqatsi. Just revisited my little notes this afternoon, will continue to add more soon. For the rest of the guys above: cheers & enjoy discovering new stuff

I haven't heard most of these, thank you for making this. It's always fun to hit the edit button on these types of lists years later and see which names go bold.

^^ guys, I wasn't trying to be patronising, I just thought it might help the thread along, that's all.... I'm pleased both of you have come across PA before; its a very good site (as long as you stay out of the forums)
