Probably the best Yes-on-speed-ripoff there ever was. I'm cheating a bit here as well, once again since there's a demo album around. And the complications don't stop there (or with the music, which just blows your mind); it was recorded in 1976 but not released until 13 years later in the age of grunge and sleaze when, if possible, prog was about as fit for the general opinion as East Germany was for automotive manufacturing. How great is that! |
Excellent album, I was going to include it in my list but didn't because of that demo album (I wasn't even sure if it was a demo or actual album, haven't heard it).

And this puppy doesn't fit in anywhere in particular, definitely not in the Court of the Crimson King. The closest analogy I can think of is contemporary Kinks, albeit spiced with Robert Fripp's already dexterious jazz runs. Very english, very different from what they (or two of them at least) would go on doing, and very good. |
Another excellent one, can't believe I left that out.
