Jazz fusion group Go Go Penguin dropped a new album, Man Mad Object. Very good album, these guys are super talented and creative. Also recommend their 2.0 album:

Something that I haven't seen posted yet could be one of my favourites: Marillion (Fish era). Some hate on Fish for trying too hard to emulate Peter Gabriel, but I honestly can only appreciate him for doing that. Technically it's Neo-Prog, more easy\melodic?, and with more guitars over synths compared to Genesis.
Misplaced Childhood - Fugazi - Script for a Jester's Tear. Absolute masterpieces imho! Just listen all of them at least once, I don't think you'll be disappointed :wink:
 
 
 

 
EDIT: Added a Fugazi's song. Can't add one from Misplaced Childhood because it's a concept album :wink:

 Fish's lyrics are at their finest on Fugazi, particularly on the title track and Incubus. As you say though, all Fish-era Marillion albums are great. Pity they turned into a pop band after he left!

Yeah, I hate how much even their stories (Fish-Marillion and Gabriel-Genesis resemble). Damn pop.
I must admit that I also like Fish's solo Albums, and even some pop era Marillion stuff (Marbles and Brave mostly). Can't say the same for pop era Genesis yet. I tried several times to like them but I'm still at the same point of not connection.
 
As far as Fish's Marillion lyrics I must agree, very fine choice of words by him. Clutching at straws was quite deep once I found out it was autobiographic. Oh, and Rothery is a melody genius imho :D

Thanks, I'll check it out. You do realize, though, that a vacation in life does not remove you of your proggy headfi responsibilities!

Fish is one of the greatest vocalists and lyricists of rock. Those three albums are landmarks of not only progressive rock but music in general, and some of my all-time favorites.
Fish is a poet and an actor, and you can easily get caught in his lyricism. Those 3 albums are also very powerful, haunting and dangerous if you listen to them when you are emotionally down. So be careful :) I know they had a big influence on me when I first listened to them, back in the day :)
As for the Fish / Gabriel comparison, I think they have very little in common, few similarities but otherwise very different in the way they portray their music. And I love Genesis with Peter Gabriel very much too, but in a different way.

Some classics refreshed, and in a very good way.
"I Talk To The Wind" Greg Lake's live performance of the King Crimson's classic is excellent.
 
Keith Emerson & Greg Lake - Live From Manticore Hall (2014)

 
Steve Hackett - Genesis Revisited II
