PartTimeZombie These guys have horns and cellos, and they're not afraid to use them. If you're looking for a Yes or Genesis clone you're out of luck, but if you want a band who take the time to stretch out and give a song time to develop you're in luck.
I'm going to change my mind about my favourite track regularly.
Oh, and flutes.
Favorite track: The Transit of Venus Across the Sun.

impressivelad A really brilliant progressive rock album, there's a curious sentimentality to this album as it explores England's little nooks and crannies, brooks and valleys. Many of the tracks have brilliant string and horn arrangements which lend a feeling of high production value. This is serious prog rock but there is quite an ear for catchy melodies and beautiful arrangements which make it very accessible. Some incredibly beautiful songs here. RIP David Longdon. Favorite track: Along the Ridgeway.

Dragonjazz Just another excellent release from English band BBT. It would be really hard to find a greater example of contemporary symphonic prog/folk. Favorite track: Wassail.
