I think that new interesting music is always raising from the musical scene. I tended on believing that "music died in 1979", but there is a whole world outside of prog-rock of the 70's. Prog rock is not bad (in fact is some of my fave music), but has its limitations, cannot express many things that other styles (such as minimalism, post rock, avant-garde, math-rock, slowcore, experimental rock...) can. I think we should have more open minds, music keeps on living and reinventing itself, and new experimental, exciting and very enjoyable music is all around, but you have to stop looking for prog tags, because you will mostly find newprog wannabies willing to recreate another "Selling England..." or "Close to the edge". "Close to the edge" is a masterpiece, but its time has passed... If you don't believe me take a look out there to groups/artists like Sigur R�s, Max Ritcher, Library Tapes, GY!BE, M�m, Afterklang, Dirty Tree... just to name a few. Best.
