I'm kind of in a bind in regards to exploring more contemporary music. Stuff like the Mars Volta didn't appeal to me, and Porcupine Tree generally feels a little too plain. I did like stuff from Wobbler and the Dear Hunter though, as well as the obvious Tool and King Gizzard mentions, but can anyone recommend anything else in those ballparks?

I only listen to contemporary prog so here's a quick personal rundown and what album to start with

* Opeth - "gothic" style, lovely lyrics but fun music - Blackwater Park
* Steven Wilson (early) - basically better porcupine tree, grace/raven/hand all perfect albums - Hand Cannot Erase
* Between the buried and me - buddhist blackened prog - Automata II
* Haken - super british, like old prog with new guitars - The Mountain
* Animals as Leaders - instrumental but they play their instruments well - The Madness of Many
* Leprous - singer in constant pain - Pitfalls
* TesseracT - if you like leprous this is fine too although I only like this album with a different singer - Altered State
* Pure Reason Revolution - also really british with terrible name, distinct harmonious sound with two singers - Eupnea
