One of my favorite albums is Ritual's The Hemulic Voluntary Band. The thing that I most like about them is the way they frequently have these contrapuntal staccato lines on guitars and harpsichord (?) on this album. This can be heard on the title track and Waiting By The Bridge especially. Can anyone recommend me another band or album that has this?

I'm not exactly a prog expert, and I'm mostly into metal and more avant-prog stuff, so don't be afraid of suggestions that might be too obvious. Thanks!
