Cool European prog

Hello. Without a doubt Aural Moon music database is wonderful, but there are some European albums, which I'd like to suggest you as a prog fan knowing European progscene.
So:
Anekdoten-Gravity - new studio album from 2003. A fantastic piece of work IMHO.

Galahad-Following Ghosts - one of the greatest neoprogressive albums of the 90's

Karnataka-The Storm or Delicate Flame of Desire - very modern neoprog from England. Absolutely brilliant female vocalist Rachel Jones.

Pineapple Thief - Variations on a Dream - very good album from 2003. Porcupine Tree style with symphonic momentum.

Jadis-More Than Meets The Eye - the best Jadis album

Opeth-Damnation - fantastic album presenting the mellow side of Opeth. Great!!

Kayak-Merlin:Bard of the Unseen - great comeback to prog of Dutch group. Recorded with orchestra.

The Flower Kings - Retropolis - we have only one track from the one of the best TFK albums

Mostly Autumn - The Spirit of Autumn Past - I think you know this band, this is perhaps their best piece of work yet.

Pain of Salvation - The Perfect Element pt.1 - only one comment: a masterpiece

Karmakanic - Entering the Spectra - The Flower Kings Jonas Reingold's band album, also features other members of TFK. Very good.

Paatos - Timeloss - quite unknown but very interesting Norwegian band. Psychedelic, mellotrons etc.

The Mars Volta - De-loused in the Comatorium - one of the 2003 hits. Very original mix of prog and...punk (!)

Quidam - Time Beneath a Sky - very appreciated album from Polish band

Ark - Ark - very original mix of prog and hard rock, with phenomenal vocals of Jorn Lande.


These are my sugestions. Hope it will be helpful
