Basically Enzso is a two volume colaaboration with Eddie Raynor and the NZ symphony orchestra recreating classic Enz songs featuring Neil Finn and Tim Finn and other NZ guest singers. I don't know whether Art Rock of Variuous Artists are the place for it.
I recently got a Phil Judd solo album, basically it sounds as if he was cryogenically frozen arfter Split Enz broke up and then was thawed out in 1996 to release a new album. Its eccentric and bizarre album called  Mr Phudd and his Novelty Act. The songs don't have the same progginess as Mental Notes but stioll odd like Syd Barrett, Peter Gabrial and Kate Bush I think it would suit prog-related. hisa site www.philjudd.com has some samples on the little radio image to give you an idea of some of his music unfortunately the most proggy track Fire Extinguisher and  another one, (I've forgotten its name) is not their to sample.
I thought that there was a slight radiohead influence on this album. I think probably Prog-related for this guy. I think this is his only solo album although he did work with some bands. But check out the samplesWink Also if you go to the icon Wordz on the website there are more samples

I feel with Enzso I don't really need to play you MP3's or anything to convince you guys that it should ber on here since its a classical version of Enz songs which are  already on here.

He did do one other solo album in the early 80s called private lives  apparently quirky, other than that I don't know how proggy it is.
But like I said his latest album sounds like his work with Enz just less complex

Michael, I just haven't heard any of the stuff individual Enzers have done outside the group.
 
My uninformed opinion is that if the records are post True Colours, they're not likely to be prog. and if they are pre-True Colours, they're likely to be prog-related.
 
Unless these albums are truly full-blown prog, of course.
 
Are these inclusions really urgent, necessary and justified to you?
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

 not urgent but Enzso is a more a classical tribute of Enz music spanning their whole career, so necessary Yes
While with Phil Judd, I have his web address on my first post here has some samples for you all to make up your minds, Phil Judd, originally the primary songwriter, left Split Enz before they became pop at about 1976. Phil Judd is a completely different thing altogether, his songs were the more proggy ones. His solo album is a little unusual, like Syd Barret or Peter Gabrial, and has a couple of proggy tracks thrown in. Like I said his webite has sample in it both on the first page click on the radio icon, and the lyrics section.

True, you can compare it with The Symphonic Music Of Yes.
 
I have the album as well. I only have a single cd, though.

Yeah so I don't think there is any real necessity to debate this their music is in this is just a classical music version,
