(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
 
Fear Of A Blank Planet
1.  Fear Of A Blank Planet by Porcupine Tree
The list author says:
  "It always surprises me how Steven Wilson outdoes himself on each new release. This, along with the “Nil Recurring” EP are the work of one of the best British rock bands full stop!"
£6.85   Used & New from: £4.89
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (74 customer reviews)

Rapid Eye Movement
2.  Rapid Eye Movement by Riverside
The list author says:
  "The third album from this ever impressive Polish band. On a par with the previous instalments in this trilogy, it will be interesting to see where they go from here."
Used & New from: £9.88
4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (12 customer reviews)

10,000 Days
3.  10,000 Days by Saga
The list author says:
  "A more than fitting finale to Michael Sadler’s career with Saga.  The band are all playing to their max and it all sounds so fresh."
£13.52   Used & New from: £11.47
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

Sleeping in Traffic Part One
4.  Sleeping in Traffic Part One by Beardfish
The list author says:
  "More structured and focussed than their earlier two albums, this band have a rough and ready sound which is quite retro in a proto prog sort of way. The overall result is a very exciting album."
£13.52   Used & New from: £5.98
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

The Hemulic Voluntary Band
5.  The Hemulic Voluntary Band by Ritual
The list author says:
  "Another Swedish band (been a good year for them) brings this unusual album. Quite acoustic and quite Gentle Giant, but this is one of the more individual albums of the year."
£13.68   Used & New from: £11.09
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)

Systematic Chaos
6.  Systematic Chaos by Dream Theater
The list author says:
  "Maybe not as prog as “Octavarium”, but the band are as technically impressive as ever and still stretching themselves."
£5.40   Used & New from: £3.95
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (77 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

RED PLANET BOULEVARD
7.  RED PLANET BOULEVARD by Lana Lane
The list author says:
  "The first woman of American symphonic rock has returned with a real winner here. Back to a more heavy rock style, with guitarist Peer Verschuren shining throughout."
£11.45   Used & New from: £3.99

The Sum Of No Evil CD2 Digi
8.  The Sum Of No Evil CD2 Digi by The Flower Kings
The list author says:
  "Their most fully consistent album in many years. No filler at all, just the band on top form and Stolt’s writing controlled and flamboyant."
£31.37   Used & New from: £9.99
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (7 customer reviews)

A Time of Day
9.  A Time of Day by Anekdoten
The list author says:
  "Beautifully melancholic Swedish prog. The usual glacial mellotron sound is this time augmented with some synth lines. Achingly nostalgic and sad and I love it!"
£14.46   Used & New from: £10.50
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (1 customer review)

Snakes & Arrows (Jewelcase Version)
10.  Snakes & Arrows (Jewelcase Version) by Rush

  "A very welcome return to form. To me their best since “Moving Pictures”. After the disaster production and mastering job on “Vapor Trails”, this one thankfully sounds good!"
£5.77   Used & New from: £4.47
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (134 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Dead Reckoning
11.  Dead Reckoning by Threshold
The list author says:
  "On a new label, but the same high quality prog metal. Maybe more harder edged than on recent albums, but the epic “Pilot In The Sky Of Dream” is a career highlight."
£8.00   Used & New from: £2.23
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (16 customer reviews)

Gothic Kabbalah
12.  Gothic Kabbalah by Therion
The list author says:
  "Epic, 2 disc symphonic metal. This shouldn’t work but it does. Bold and huge sounding and beautifully produced."
£12.12   Used & New from: £7.52
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (7 customer reviews)

Angular Perceptions
13.  Angular Perceptions by Thought Chamber
The list author says:
  "Complex, technical prog metal of the highest order on this impressive debut album. Beautifully played and produced and features the excellent vocals of Enchant’s Ted Leonard."
£13.52   Used & New from: £7.98
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Four O'clock and Hysteria
14.  Four O'clock and Hysteria by Alan Morse
The list author says:
  "Solo effort from Spock’s Beard keyboardist really showcases what an exceptional player he really is. Some very nice fusion style playing, with guest musicians including ex Mahavishnu’s Jerry Goodman ."
£17.06   Used & New from: £6.96

Angling Feelings
15.  Angling Feelings by Kaipa
The list author says:
  "No Roine Stolt this time, but the sound is still very much Kaipa. The keyboard work of Hans Lundin is expressive and has now plenty of room to breath. Another consistent effort."
Used & New from: £11.98

Frames
16.  Frames by Oceansize

4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

Sola Scriptura
18.  Sola Scriptura by Neal Morse

Paradise Lost
19.  Paradise Lost by Symphony X

20.  No World For Tomorrow (Deluxe Edition) (Clean) (CD/DVD) by Coheed and Cambria
The list author says:
