For fans of heavy psychedelic music. Just came out in late July. I've been digging this album quite a bit:
"Corn Flakes pissed in. You ranted. Mission accomplished. Thread closed."
-Cozy 3:16-
"Improvisation is not an excuse for musical laziness" - Fred Frith
"[...] things that we never dreamed of doing in Crimson or in any band that I've been in," - Tony Levin speaking of SGM
Don't know them, but here they are:

Update:
December:
Subterranean Masquerade - The Great Bazaar
Just received my copy of Causa Sui newest release: "PEWT'R Sessions 3"
UPDATE: Just listened to it twice: very disappointing, I have their last four releases prior to this one and it is by far the weakest!

On GAD Records, some smoking hot jazz/bluesrock:
Jazz Q - Živí se diví
And a great soundtrack:
Martin Kratochvíl & Jazz Q - Temné slunce

Cool - good cross section of albums. For certain, I'm most interested in the new Homunculus Res - their debut is brilliant in my mind. I'm hoping that La Coscienza di Zeno tones down some of the "American Idol" singing bits found on the second album, and focuses in on their strong compositional and instrumental talents. And I hope Not a Good Sign carves out more of an identity on their new one, since I thought much of their debut sounded "generic northern European". Also curious about the new Ciccada.
I didn't, but thanks for bringing that up. I just listened to whole album and really enjoyed it.

I thought the Not a Good Sign debut was very good, but I never really warmed to the second La Coscienza ('though their debut is great). Ciccada are fine as well, but I'd love for them to concentrate on vocals in Greek only. Yugen and Simon Steensland are always welcome, and I took Bob D. on his tip and listened to the Blue Ship - bringing joy to my ears.

Yep, I think we're on the same page here on Ciccada (I always prefer native languages myself). As for La Coscienza, I still ended up enjoying the second album. I think it would have been a killer if the music didn't stop (other than steady rhythm) every time he started to sing (a common problem in modern progressive music - at least for my tastes). And I really did enjoy Not a Good Sign - but I did feel it was a bit by-the-numbers for the style. It's just a great style I'll have to check out Blue Ship...
Homunculus Res, Ciccada and Yugen are the more anticipated here from the AltrOck / Fading forthcoming catalogue. Then La Coscienza di Zeno and Not a Good Sign.
Listened to Causa Sui's "PEWT'R Sessions 3" at my local record store. Very disappointing indeed, as Mythos noted few posts above.
One of the best currently active Polish prog bands, Millenium should release their brand new album 'In Search of the Perfect Melody' in September, 29th.
Don't know if this has been mentioned previously, but I'm getting a lot of enjoyment out of the new Steve Unruh cd "Music From Air". This is a soundtrack to a movie that was made in 2006. A lot of musical styles are represented.
Antoine Fafard - Ad Perpetuum
It's not due out until October but I was sent a zip file and it is killer.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF STUPID PEOPLE IN LARGE GROUPS!
Searching for the Lost Key
The eagerly-awaited debut album by The Emerald Dawn will be officially released on October 8th, 2014
