It was only when I reread your post that it struck me how unexpected it is that Sunforest and Lou Reed should have a musician in common.
Right now I'm exploring the discography of Renaissance, who in their earliest incarnation, had all the prog elements you could wish for:-
For me at least, there was a surprising connection too; the band was formed by none other than Keith Relf, distinctive frontman of the Yardbirds, with his former bandmate Jim McCarty. The girl with the tambourine is Keith's sister, Jane and the keyboard player with glasses was John Hawken, who arrived from The Nashville Teens and who would later move on to The Strawbs.
P.S. My favourite Renaissance lyric so far, more Beefheart than prog folk, is:-
