The final boss of prog would be Univers Zéro, that's the music you play to summon Cthulhu.

Fair enough. I suppose they're not especially inaccessible in the sense of being particularly noisy or dissonant, but it's more like they use familiar prog rock musical elements in such different ways that it feels really alien. You're absolutely right in that a lot of the RIO stuff is much more inaccessible. Magma is like the last boss on disc one, avant garde prog is on disc 2, haha.
