I think that new interesting music is always raisingfrom the musicalscene. I tended on believing that "music died in1979", but there is awhole world outside of prog-rock of the 70's. Progrock is not bad (infact is some of my fave music), but has itslimitations, cannot expressmany things that other styles (such as minimalism,post rock,avant-garde, math-rock, slowcore, experimentalrock...) can. I think we should have more open minds, music keepson living andreinventing itself, and new experimental, excitingand very enjoyablemusic is all around, but you have to stop lookingfor prog tags, becauseyou will mostly find newprog wannabies willing torecreate another"Selling England..." or "Close to the edge". "Closeto the edge" is amasterpiece, but its time has passed... If you don'tbelieve me take alook out there to groups/artists like Sigur Ròs, MaxRitcher, LibraryTapes, GY!BE, Mûm, Afterklang, Dirty Tree... just toname a few. Best.
