Really too many to make a list that doesn't omit alot of great bands, but here goes anyway: Blast Hamster Theatre Pip Pyle's Bash Uz Jsme Doma Present Univers Zero Massacre (Frith/Laswell/Hayward) Ruins Scorch Trio Bone Structure Lucas Niggli Zoom Good For Cows Patrick Cress/Telepathy Available Jelly Tricolor Tortoise Trio AAB Tarental Alamaailman Vasarat Gotta agree that Thinking Plague deserves mention. I've still got all the Anglagard discs (they're obviously really skilled) but after catching them at Nearfest i couldn't help thinking that Terje Rypdal eclipsed everything they've done on Whenever I Seem To Be Far Away recorded in 1974.
I like Minimum Vital from France alot, but they can be a bit pompy. Happy Family (JP) has its moments. On the spacier side: Ozric Tentacles, DarXtar, and the Anubian Lights/Farflung/Pressurehed family.
Rwwear: Opeth? If death/prog is your thing, you might like Katatonia. Or Cynic... or Disharmonic Orchestra (post Expositionprophylaxe), or Death circa "Human". Of those, Disharmonic is the hidden gem.
Duane, been meaning to drop you a line. Good taste, as always.
I've been way out of touch with whatever is going on these days with prog. rock but I have heard that one of my old favorites, Happy the Man, is due to release a new record after 20 something years. Anybody out there a Happy the Man fan?
