Summer Lightning has a great guitar solo at the end. When it comes to 'prog disco' nothing beats this: ------------- Magma America Great Make Again |

I don't remember any of those  As for prog disco I very much recommend COS' Greeneldo. Disco meets zeuhl and Canterbury. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

I like Summer Lightning quite a bit. Brilliant guitar solo and nice melody and singing. Also the supposedly "disco" rhythm works pretty well in this one. One could actually even call using this a minor innovation in prog. |

Speaking of disco; am I the only one to have purchased Todd Rundgren's collab with Lindström and Emil Nikolaisen called Runddans? Such a headscratcher of an album - almost on the verge of becoming avant disco with the same sort of ebb and flow feel as the Atom Heart Mother Suite. Recommended to disillusioned John Travolta fans and folks into pants. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

There's nothing disco to Summer Lightning. Excellent groove (wich Saga and Rush uses a lot in the 80's). Steller guitarsolo and great vocals. Also an excellent album. Nothing wrong with a good disco song though. Actually Miss You is the only Rolling Stones song I really like.... And Earth Wind & Fire is very, very progressive.

I intended to suggest that as soon as I saw the thread title.  I can't participate in the poll, since I'm only familiar with Camel's first four albums. However, I dislike Guilty, so my vote would probably go to Summer Lightning. Oldfield's Platinum Part 4 - North Style (which I actually like) recorded at the same time also has a disco beat. To me, Tangerine Dream's Force Majeure has also has prog disco feel during the guitar, piano, drums section lasting between 4:20-6:40. |

There any many suggestions I never heard, but I'm quite curious about.
I agree and I have some EW&F in my collection, which I spin occasionally.

| I remember reading that while Oldfield was in New York and recording the Platinum album and Guilty single, he also supposedly recorded a disco version of Tubular Bells (shudder), which has never seen the light of day. |

| I don't particularly hate nor love either one of them. However, I've always leaned towards Camel as a band, so I chose them. |

How about Magma's Call From The Dark ?? BTW, never been much of an Oldfield fan, love Camel, and Summer Lightning is great to play along on the bass with Sinclair. Very tasty song, every element. |

Love disco-esque prog. arious mentions I love such as the Cos and I Robot. Chrome Hoof is cool too. Can't vote in the poll yet, as I don't recall either of those tracks, but I will check them out. More jazz-funk than disco, but there are similarities: ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Various music I am very into: a youtube playlist with two tracks per act |

Does this mean Kraut rock prog disco suite meister "The future of music" Giorgio Moroder will be in PA? Donna Summer as prog related? Or is that a little too progressive? ;) |
