"One and done" American band from 1992, Atavism Of Twilight. Always loved it!
Nice, I haven't heard that new Celeste yet, how is it? I love their debut album from the 70s, a beautiful Italian classic!
I have all their albums, but not too keen on the last album.
Great band despite this!!
....
Oh I like the last album a lot! 
Have you heard the album from last year by All Traps On Earth?
Jean-Pierre Alarcen – Tableau No. 2 from France
Symphonic/Classical/Eclectic Prog
Checking this out right now, excellent stuff! Love it!
The amazing Wobbler from Norway... I love all four of their CDs! They fit in nicely with the Änglagård dark symphonic style.

Glad you're digging them Noni!
Crucible's second album Curtains isn't nearly as good as Tall Tales, although it does have an amazing cover of Crack The Sky's Nuclear Apathy. I find them to be a nice blend of Trick Of The Tail-era Genesis, Permanent Waves-era Rush, with maybe a little Kansas thrown in there somewhere. They used to cover Down And Out live as well! Talk about a challenging piece to play...
Janison Edge's album is excellent, and most of the band are musicians from other bands as well. It's too bad they didn't continue though, it's one of the best obscure albums I know.
Lets hope ND dies a better job than the horrific Genesis SACD albums released in the box sets. 5.1 versions are excellent but CDs too loud.
Yes, I have no use for the stereo mixes on those boxes, with that terrible modern idea that all levels need to be pushed to 11. So much of the dynamics and beauty of the music is lost. I tend to stick with the original CDs (prior to the '94 remasters), they sound best on my stereo system. These albums were not meant to be squashed down for consumption on ear buds and computer speakers, which is how they were mastered after the new mixing.
I highly recommend one of Ant's strongest albums, Slow Dance - which Esoteric reissued a couple of years ago, so should be easy to find. I'm an Ant Phillips collector, so happy to answer any questions or provide insight if needed! 
Display MoreSounds interesting, but some questions remain unanswered:
Are these new stereo mixes or just remastered old mixes?
Will there be bonus-tracks?
What kind of set is this: indiidual CDs inside or just cardsleeves?
Will the set contain a booklet or individual booklets?
What happened to the 5.1 plans?
Going from the look of that photo and the previous Ant Phillips boxes that Esoteric reissued, I suspect it will be a clamshell box with the albums in individual card sleeves, and probably a booklet of some kind. From what I can tell from that article, the post-Fugitive albums have simply been remastered as opposed to being all new mixes. Surround mix plans appear to have been shelved.
This set seems a bit... half-assed in some ways. I'm glad for any newer fans who may not have this stuff, perhaps it's aimed at them as an easy way to get it all in one shot. Personally, I already have his complete catalogue on CD including a couple of CD singles with b-side tracks, and Esoteric's own A Chord Too Far boxed set from a couple of years ago which is excellent.
Listening to this long out of print CD right now. Crucible - Tall Tales
I do not have that one
If you have - and like - every Nexus album, I would have to insist that you get it.
My favourite modern Italian band Unreal City. All three albums are musts IMO!
I have them all too. Great band!!
Do you have the Lalo Huber solo album as well? It's highly recommended!
Here's another modern favourite of mine, from Argentina - the band Nexus. They have lots of albums and I have them all!
Been checking out the other tracks on YouTube, I really like this band. Love the female vocalist.
It's really excellent, isn't it? Especially for fans of IQ, Arena, Marillion, etc. but lots of people would love it I think.
An excellent one-off album from Janison Edge. Twenty years old now, I wish they had done more. Very melodic, proggy and lots of keyboard and guitar sounds that will appeal to a lot of people here.
Nice! I'm looking forward to that new IZZ, they are a great band and I have their whole catalogue on CD. I've been meaning to check out Laura's solo album too, I heard good things about it.
Oh man, fabulous new Chester Thompson CD arrived today... back together with Alphonso Johnson on bass for the first time since Weather Report's Black Market album!
Here's another huge favourite of mine, French band Shylock. I even shelled out for the expensive Japanese SHM-CD imports because I love them so much!
Serge Fiori - Deux cents nuits à l'heure Canada. From the band Harmonium
Don't forget Richard Séguin!
A Quebec classic! I'm a big fan of the whole scene... in fact, you've inspired me!
