I like the sound of Oboe so can people who knows of prog with oboe pleace recomend some bands  for me, I like the nasal sound Gabriels Obo is one of my favourite songs (nella fantasia),

the bassoon is also fun but not my absolute favourite but I wonder if its used in prog (probably in Avant-garde, prog folk, and post rock)
 
and french horn is cool intrument (i guess Gentle Giant have used it on AtT)

Henry Cow is bassoon, Univers Zero and Art Zoyd have oboe and bassoon on some of their albums, and it's free jazz but Jimmy Lyons with Karen Borca is pretty great.

Steve Hillage's "Fish Rising" comes to my mind for bassoon as well as Steve Hackett's "Voyage of the Acolyte" for oboe.

Came here from Krumhorn....nothing.
 
Gryphon's "Red Queen to Gryphon Three" may be to your liking.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Holger Czukay of Can plays French horn on some of his solo albums. He studied the instrument before he became Can's bass player.

For oboe I have three words for you: Third Ear Band! Superb use of the instrument with heavy oriental touches, hence the band's tagging in here as Indo/Raga. I would recommend Music from Macbeth for starters.

Roxy Music (the two first albums)
But the last and most recent of beautiful Oboe parts I heard were from a French jazz band, Filigrane Quartet.

Get "Hergest Ridge" by Mike Oldfield. There is a new 2010 mix out. The original 1974 mix was the best. Very sweet melody on oboe. You'll like this. From your post, it sounds like you might like a lot of Mike's albums. Avoid the 1976 "boxed mix" of HR. But with the 2010 remix u should be happy.

Andre Fertiers Clivage - Mixtus Orbis CD (album) cover

MIXTUS ORBIS

Andre Fertier's Clivage

 
Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

Well, this may not be oboe oriented at all, but if by chance you happen to like Pink Floyd, then you have to get David Gilmour in Concert DVD, which has a version of High Hopes in which in the final guitar solo Michael Kamen includes some nice oboe.
