I don’t know much about prog rock, have a few albums, saw Yes in the mid 80s, saw Nik Turner’s Hawkwind a half dozen times. Were Pink Floyd ever prog or not enough classical?
There is a label that releases old tapes as well as new albums with older performers. You can hear many of them online but also but the releases on vinyl and CD.
I do think that they have a lot of modern recorded prog rock but I can’t compare it to what came before, I just don’t have the background.
I mentioned Nik Turner so I’ll direct you to his album on that site which I’ve never bought or downloaded but I streamed it a number of times when it came out.

Purple Pyramid is the overall label

Even a reissue of an 00’s release by Rick Wakeman

Thanks! I haven’t seen this before. Really well done with the visual effects.
Some of these folks are really creative. There is one with “Subdivisions” (I think) with snips of Charlie Brown cartoons.
Below is “Headlong Flight” with video of guys body-suit gliding in the mountains of Europe:

Was that Lemmy-era Hawkwind?
I saw Lemmy once and have a couple of the Hawkwind albums with Lemmy (got him to sign one even) but Nik Turner’s Hawkwind come sometime after a falling out akin to Roger Waters vs. Pink Floyd (only Dave Brock seems to be the one who holds a grudge).
Lemmy is on some of these “new” recordings including a Christmas album.
