Neo-Progressive

Neo-Progressive is a subgenre of progressive rock that emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is characterized by a combination of traditional progressive rock elements such as complex song structures, intricate instrumental passages, and a focus on extended compositions, with modern influences such as synthesizers, electronic drums, and modern production techniques. Neo-Progressive bands often draw from a variety of musical styles, including jazz, classical, and folk, as well as rock. Common lyrical themes include science fiction, fantasy, and philosophy. Notable Neo-Progressive bands include Marillion, IQ, Pendragon, and Arena.
