A place to share and discuss new and overlooked music that is progressive in both senses of the word; forward thinking music that pushes the boundaries of its genre, and music that utilizes unusual time signatures, harmonies, scales and song structures.

This community is dedicated to sharing and discussing progressive music of all kinds. The wilder the better!

Please include the genre or FFO in the title of your post when sharing music and tag discussion threads with [Discussion].

Be kind and respectful to others - if you don't like something, that doesn't mean no one does. Criticism of music is allowed, as long as it's expressed in a polite way.

If you're on the fence whether your submission fits here, feel free to post - music is subjective anyways.

Enjoy your stay!

Edit: If you have any better suggestions for the community icon, feel free to share, this one was done more as a temporary solution.

Legal, best quality purchase option: https://www.qobuz.com/ca-en/album/random-access-memories-daft-punk/0886443927087 -- this one isn't on Bandcamp.

I really like the single version linked above the best, but there's also an album version with different lyrics. Album: https://blackcountrynewroad.bandcamp.com/album/for-the-first-time

If you like a slow build, this is a great 10 minute crescendo. With some depressing lyrics too.

Just in case you folks are interested in what's going on elsewhere. With the new Scaled sort algorithm, I'm finally seeing some content from the smaller communities and this makes me happy :)

I absolutely love his voice and the riffs. Listening to this always takes me somewhere. I hope some others will share my appreciation.

A few days ago marked the release of The Dreaming, LP from Kate which began with this song. I wanted to share with y'all.

Lemmy has got me feeling in a mood, so I'm gonna get crazy & try to be socially functional for once instead of just lurking & leaving. There don't seem to be many communities for prog, so let's get this going.

Right off the bat, I'd like to mention The Desaturating Seven by Primus. I don't even know what to say about it, it's a journey.

Obscura totally blew my mind when I first heard it. It's definitely not for everyone, but it's unlike any other album I've heard.

One of the best live version I believe.

An interesting album I discovered today, reminds me a lot of Canterbury scene.

It isn't new, but I do feel like this album is underappreciated.
