    \n
  1. Explosions in the Sky, “Yasmin the Light”<\/b>: beautiful post-rock.<\/li>\n
  2. Kansas, “Miracles Out of Nowhere”<\/b>: Old Kansas – great stuff. <\/li>\n
  3. The Flower Kings, “Starlight Man”<\/b>: People who’ve read my FRTs know
    \nthat I pretty much worship the ground Roine Stolte walks on. Even a short,
    \nsimple ballad like this, Stolte manages to turn into something amazing.<\/li>\n
  4. Metaphor, “Don’t Sleep”<\/b>: Metaphor is one of my favorite discoveries. They’re
    \nvery obscure; most proggies that I talk to haven’t heard of them. But they’re
    \nreally excellent. Definitely Flower-Kings inspired, but with a very distinctive
    \nsound, and a great sense of humor.<\/li>\n
  5. Flying Bulgar Klezmer Band, “Dig”<\/b>: Progressive Klezmer! FBKB does
    \na fantastic job of mixing very traditional Klezmer with all sorts of other
    \ninfluences.<\/li>\n
  6. Tan Dun, “Water Passion after St. Matthew”<\/b>: This is a masterpiece. Tan Dun
    \nis a really brilliant composer; this composition is inspired by Bach’s
    \n“St. Matthew’s Passion”, which is one of my favorite pieces of music of all time.
    \nIt’s frequently difficult to hear the connection between Tan Dun’s work,
    \nand what inspired it, but the connection is<\/em> there.<\/li>\n
  7. Jerry Douglas, “Takarasaka”<\/b>: a duet between the world’s best
    \nDobro player, and the world’s best Bass player. <\/li>\n
  8. Spock’s Beard, “All That’s Left”<\/b>: SB is a Genesis inspired
    \nneo-progressive band. They almost dissolved a few years back when their
    \noriginal leader quit the band, but since then they’ve developed in
    \nwonderful directions – they sound much less like they’re trying to just
    \nbe Genesis. This is one of my favorite songs off their most recent album.<\/li>\n
  9. Jadis, “What Goes Around?”<\/b>: Something different: a Marillion inspired
    \nneo-prog band. They’re on a label run by Steve Rothery from Marillion. They’ve
    \ngot a very Marillion-like sound, but a bit more pop-ish. I still haven’t
    \nquite decided how I feel about this album.<\/li>\n
  10. Genesis, “Fly on a Windshield”<\/b>: a wonderful bit from Peter Gabriel’s
    \nmasterpiece album with Genesis.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
