Best progressive acts these days?

I've been way out of touch with whatever is going on these days with prog. rock but I have heard that one of my old favorites, Happy the Man, is due to release a new record after 20 something years. Anybody out there a Happy the Man fan?

Uz jsme doma just released new album avalable on Tamizdat.com I wonder how is their music without Jindra saxophonist now.

Xiekitchen, I've got "Crafty Hands" and like it quite a bit. Interesting to hear they're back together! Stanley Whittaker apeared on Ten Jinn's "As on a Darkling Plain" around '99, which I found to be a bit on the "pomp" side, but I like many tracks on it so guess I've gotta say it's pretty good. I've seen it for free on Ebay several times ; )

I have Damnation by Opeth which is more like Porcupine Tree since Steve Wilson produced it and also plays keyboards on some songs. I like Darxtar and Ozric also(check out their DVD) I saw HTM at Progfest in 2002, they were very good.

I had "Orchid" by Opeth, but I never connected with it. It seemed like a transitional phase between black metal and something more goth and stylized. That's interesting to hear they've really moved far in the direction they have. That's "progressive" for you!

Thanks for the tip on the Ozric DVD, that's right up my alley. I didn't know they had one. I'm definitely going to check this out. Do you happen to have "Darker" by Darxtar (their 2nd)?
