Good solid neo-prog.....I think I like this track the best of the 3. ....all good songs.
You might want to ck out IQ....another excellent neo prog band in this vein. Nice long melodic prog rock that is not overly complex.
I also see that you have looked into more obscure prog since you posted Fields and Polyphony.
Fields has a connection to Rare Bird(Graham Field) and King Crimson(McCulloch drums on LIzard) and even Greenslade (McCulloch on drums) who are one of my favorite less known prog bands......
Bedside Manners Are Extra is one of my favorite prog lps.

I was pretty sure you would some of MYSTERY's music. They're quite popular here in Canada with Prog Rock fans. I don't go to large arena concerts anymore, but I would change that rule were they to come to a venue in Saskatoon. That said, they are unlikely to make it onto my active playlist, though their music makes a nice background for writing.

Dark Matter and Frequency are both excellent neo prog lps...many prog heads like their newer lps even better but these 2 have always stuck with me.

Sacred Sound (Dark Matter)

Frequency

IQ: No surprise here. A talented group of veteran British musicians, playing well-written compositions.
