Syrinx is a French quartet that issued a couple of formidable albums. Since they only released two albums, both excellent, I have included both in this recommendation. The musicians are not unveiled in the albums, they called themselves “The Transcribers”. But there are reviews in the band page in ProgArchives that reveal their names.
The description of their music in their website accurately describes what Syrinx is:
Unfortunately, to date the third album that completes the trilogy has not seen the light.
Their music is usually described as “Jazz-Prog”. However, I don’t see clear jazz elements in the music of Syrinx. In fact, their style is quite original and very difficult to classify. The music morphs continuously in many aspects: style, timbre, rhythm, embracing a palette that goes beyond jazz and progressive rock.
Here are a couple of examples so you can judge by yourself:

I listened to Reification not too long ago, and I must say I loved it, a fantastic album, thanks for the tip!
Syrinx is, indeed, a must. They give an elegant spin to the words sinister and mysterious in the sonic world of progressive rock.
