I'm wondering how many 2 piece prog acts are out there? 

I'm friends with the band "Clatter" - a husband & wife duo who make some very loud music together!  They recently moved from the USA to Sweden, lucky them! 

They once had a video performance of Rush's "Limelight," but it is gone from YouTube.  It was amazing!  Amy often plays 12 string bass for songs like that. 

Here, dig it!

I wish I had the video for "Limelight," it is gone from YouTube! 

Here's the audio:

This is an obscure & cool progressive electronic duo.

Covet is a trio. Their bassist doesn't play in that video because that's one of Yvette Young's solo compositions (and the drummer played on it).

Thanks, cool suggestions!  

It's been touched on before = Anderson & Vangelis, Fripp & Summers, Fripp & Eno etc.  

However, I was more interested in performing/touring acts.  I've seen some amazing duets (Larry Coryell and Steve Khan in a small club with a drum machine), but a performing two-piece would seem to be very powerful if they had the chops.

Hansson & Karlsson are considered to have released the first prog album



ALso

The German duo Magma


There are a few other German duos but can't remember them at this moment

off the top of my head:

Mats/Morgan (Swedish duo from the 90's)
Hansson & Karlsson (Swedish duo from the late 60's)
Alaska (US duo from the late 90's influenced by ELP)

Also, I can't help but mention Hayward & Lodge from the Moody Blues and their one album from 1975 although I'm sure they probably had a backing band.

Jade Warrior was a duo, but they often had guest artists joining them.

Chuck, I would highly recommend Midnight Circus, a two-piece prog folk duo with one studio album and single to their credit from the early seventies, on Bellaphon Records in Germany. In a nutshell, wonderful in both a lyrical and cerebral kind of way, I guess!

A brief duet, but a milestone in prog -- Roy Harper & Jimmy Page....
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...
