I.B. are a Swedish progressive mainstay, but with their two most recent albums they have been moving towards a thoroughly orchestrated work that combines elements of many styles of progressive, symphonic & avant rock. They use tuned percussion, guitars, keyboards, bass & drums + a huge number of guests on orchestral instruments. I clearly hear elements of Zappa, Holdsworth-era Gong, Bruford, Tipographica & more, all blended into their own thing. This also has the distinction of being live, which makes it even MORE impressive, so start here.
