Underrated prog from 71 to 75

Thanks for reminding me about Fusioon. That's been on my list to check out for years. I keep getting distracted!

Nice chunk ... and in my book, just about anything from Roy Harper in that period is excellent, as is the FAMILY stuff, although by the end of that time period they were STREETWALKERS and the material was more rock'n'roll oriented, but it was magnificent with outstanding guitar work (the trademark of Family and all of their material and Chappo's solos).

Kevin has always been a favorite of mine, and it could be said that this particular period was really good in all of the albums, however, KA was just fine at any other time.

Pekka is someone I bought his stuff when I saw him play in Mike Oldfield's Exposed ... and his albums are very enjoyable to my ears ...

Of all the bands in those years, in my collection, there are/were many that did not get "accepted" and "appreciated" a whole lot ... and the HARVEST Breakfast Cereal box listing is a really good clue to some material that is very different, and yet stands out. (For what that is, check the Hipgnosis book! Could not find it in a net search!)

From that listing, you will also find things like Edgar Broughton Band, which started earlier, but their material within this time period is excellent, and not appreciated because it isn't considered "progressive" as it does not have .... hmmmmmm .... no layers of useless keyboards for frivolous solos! But other things stood out ... Capability Brown (both albums are great), East of Eden's early material is super nice ... sometimes a sort of Quicksilver in their early days, Lol Coxhill became very well known in the jazz circles though I can not say I have a whole lot of his stuff, Principal Edwards was a very different something else, although it appears to have been there from the earlier days ... and later, HARVEST spread into Europe, and brought out Kayak, Triumvirat, Eloy and quite a few other bands, including some not always mentioned, like Tanned Leather and Cherubin (Germany) ... and these were all unusual, and progressive in their own way, in the sense that they were not "popular" or played by anyone else ... EXCEPT Guy Guden in his Space Pirate Radio show. You were not going to miss OORA, or BANDAGES ... or VOICE!
