Obscure prog rock doesn't get any more obscure than Comus' 'First Utterance' - that is one incredible, attention grabbing, nightmare of an album. Just keep in mind, however, that it may take a few listens to really appreciate it, but once you do...oh boy, that is one album you'll certainly want in your collection.

Well, apart from all the stuff that is more obscure than Comus' First Utterance.

Thank you all so much!! I went through every album and artist that was brought up and made a long list.. I really appreciate all the suggestions as I never would've found all this great stuff otherwise.. I'm looking forward to listening to ALL of it ๐Ÿ˜

I've seen Tortoise described as prog, so I suggest you check out their '90s discography, particularly Millions Now Living Will Never Die ("Djed" is def a prog track); if "Djed" interests you, then check out Directions' "Echoes." And then maybe try Back Door's first two albums, particularly their first (s/t); and Bill Laswell's Baselines. And then there's the gauntlet of Yes' Close to the Edge and Fragile, King Crimson's Red and In the Court of the Crimson King, and late '60s/early '70s Pink Floyd. As far as "scenes," the English "canturbury" scene and German "krautrock" scene are two you must explore. And for more modern bands, there's Phish and Dream Theater.

If you want obscure, I'll suggest Skyliner's sole studio album "Outsiders." it's good if you like power metal.

There's been a lot of great prog recommended here, go for those.

I'd also like to toss in


Seven by Magenta


And if you're looking more towards the metal-side of prog:

I'm just gonna say it: that looks like the gritty reboot of Howl's Moving Castle. ๐Ÿคฃ
