I'm with you all the way. That album got a lot play back in the day and was one of the first FM albums to grab my attention, mostly because of the title cut, which, as you say, is highlighted by Wright's spacey keys. He soon became a crooner (Dream Weaver), but his live appearances at the time exposed his very weak voice.

No, Alberto, you must have an SC to sponsor the request for addition to the Admin Team... Unless there is someone ready to suggest them for addition, I'm afraid there is little to be done.

Bands can be added only by Special Collaborators, but any member can contribute to the addition by writing the bio and adding the albums. Since Spooky Tooth are being suggested for Prog-Related, you should contact a member of the Admin Team, and submit the band to them. They will then vote for or against the addition, and if the suggestion gets the green light, the band can be added.
In case you want to write the band's bio, you can send it to any SC who has shown interest in adding the band, and they will be added as soon as possible. Voilā! |

Suggest them to the Admin Team, and if they are accepted, volunteer to write a bio and add the albums. That is how we go about PP and PR additions. If you write the bio, whoever adds them physically will credit you. |

Spookytooth is a great great band, but it is hard to say if they should be included in here. If so, they should be in the "proto prog" or "prog related" section. They're so awesome that I chose their name to be my user name on these forums...

The Mirror is probably the closest to the fringe's of prog, with Gary Wrigh't swirling synths leading the way. The whole album is exceptional but the title tune is an outright FM rock classic . Great drumming on the album also. Anyone heard this one, used to play a lot on FM radio back then

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

I dont care what they're categoerised as, but they're a great band. They should have been much bigger.

AGREE!! I am not much into covers, but I AM THE WALRUS by Spooky Tooth is wonderful.
SPOOKY TWO is maybe one of the 100 best rock albums ever made...Lost in My dreams (if i am correct) is a wonderful athmospheric song and the 9mn Evil Woman a great hard rock epic.
Mike Harrison had a heck of a voice!
Not a prog band, but i have seen even less proggish artists listed here on PA.

Yep, they were your standard issue heavy blues-rock band. Spooky Two is a great album, one I enjoy every time I listen to it, and I've been listening to it for nearly 40 years now. The guitar solo on Evil Woman is worth the price of admission.

Not prog, I think, and I wouldn't even call them proto-prog. But great melodious songs, fantastic autumn-like atmosphere and two magnificent singers. I'm talking about Spooky Two now: fantastic album for the biggest part.

Spooky Thooth one of the greatest band i consider them to be protoprog, but Ceremony have one of the most fiery guitar played, only ruined by the electronics of Pierre Henry.
Also The Last Puff was a great album with a killer version of I am the Walrus.
