Have you given any of the bands I listed a listen yet? Just listen to Dean Wells' noodling on the latest Teramaze album, Her Halo. One of the best modern guitarists out there, imho. He's not an Ernie Ball poster boy for nothing... The incredibly young Nathan Peachy's vocals aren't to be snarked at either.

And Waken Eyes is just incredible. Hell, any album with Mike Le Pond on bass is a sure-fire hit. That's why I lurve me some Symphony X. Btw, heard their latest album, Underworld, yet? I'd like to hear your (or any prog fan's) opinions on it...

Oh! And try out The Paralydium Project. Great new band with insane talent. I'm looking forward to what they can offer on a full-length release.
I haven't gotten to any of your recommendations yet, but I'll work my way through them over the weekend! I've got a feeling that my prog-taste will be a bit more mainstream than yours, but I'll gladly delve through to find out!
