Funny i've heard alot of their radio hits but never registered who they are, some really good and catchy pop/rock is what I found.

I've always been on the fence about them, but I just can't get past the second track 'Alone at Sea'. Having it on repeat, holy crap what a great song.

These are all first listens starting now - will let you know. It's a relief to listen to something non 80's

The Vega definitely isn't far out of the 80's though.

Looking forward to seeing what you think, although it didn't really open up for me until the third or fourth listen, even though the songs are really accessable.

I listened to the Neonfly last night ... Not nearly as impressed as I was with the debut. Not bad, but not wow'd on first listen. Still have to grab that Triosphere. But samples I heard were awesome.

Wicked Sensation is the other new release I have my eye(ear?) on ... But haven't found it anywhere online yet. $:-\$

New release week:

Brent... I found 'Strangers' improved on the second listen. Did you try the Wicked Sensation release? I think you'd dig it.

Also, any prog fan has to try the "Book of Gates". I'll bump it's thread. It's on Spotify.

I was very pleased with Albion.

I have Wicked Sensation but haven't got to it yet...........been too busy stuffing around in the 80's

I doubt I'll grow to like the Neonfly tbh.

Good to see some love for the Ten - it is a good album. Not so sure about the cover

Haven't see that Eon album about...........I have something of his somewhere. Equinox something or other. If it's "neo prog" then chances are I won't like it - if it's more prog metal then yeah. Will try and track it down .

No worries on Neonfly. I just found that it improved from the first listen, and considering that I absolutely adore Outshine the Sun, I'll keep giving it a shot.

Time of the Equinox is absolutely neo-prog, and pretty bland - about 1/2 of it is instrumental. That was under the banner "Amadeus Awad". This one is definitely more on the metal side of prog. Almost melodic at times as well. Pretty sure you'd dig it - especially with Russell Allen and Amanda Somerville covering most of the vocal duties. The "bonus" tracks come from a prior release "Schizanimus" which features Gavin Harrison on drums. Those tracks aren't quite as "metal", but not nearly "neo" either.

It's also on bandcamp for the non-Spotify crowd - https://rockonaut.bandcamp.com/album/the-book-of-gates-special-edition

With just one listen, my first impression was that it was as good as (or better than) either Onwards or The Road Less Travelled - and I loved both those albums. Ida is neck-and-neck with Magali Luyten as my favorite female (non-operatic) metal vocalist.
