I mentioned Inside Out Records the other day. They are a German-based record company that specialize in, but is not limited to, a revival and sustaining of progressive rock, progressive metal, heavy metal, and other real alternative musics (unlike the phony, industry controlled "alt rock" from the 1990's). I thought that, along with a link so people can check them out on their own, I would showcase the diversity of their catalog.
They do have a lot of prog and prog-metal. Mostly European, like Sweden's Evergrey, Germany's Van Den Plas, they also have a few American performers, like California's Enchant, and Derek Sherinian (former keyboardist for Dream Theater). The following is from Austria's Dead Soul Tribe, called "Flight on an Angel's Wing".
They also do more traditional prog, such as Spock's Beard. The Tangent was originally a "supergroup" - members of other bands getting together in a side project, in this case to pay tribute to the Canterbury sound of mid-1970's British rock. Not quite prog, the Canterbury sound included elements of jazz and a lighter approach to writing and arranging. The Tangent evolved, even though most of the original members split off. Here they are doing a rare live performance.
They also include on their roster the California Guitar Trio. Here they are with Tony Levin and Pat Mastoletto from King Crimson, with "Train of Lamy".
