What are some prog rock bands that have brass instrumentation and strong keyboard? A great example would be I Spider by Web. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

As I understand it, the most obvious entry point for this would have to be Van Der Graaf Generator.

There are only a few tracks that include both heavy keyboards and brass, "Amygdala" being the most notable one.
You have heavy keyboards on "Living in the Heart of the Beast" and "Nine Funerals of Citizen King", but no brass.
You have heavy brass on "Teenbeat" and "Nirvana for Mice", but no keyboards.
Tim Hodgkinson was a reluctant keyboardist, so his Farfisa rarely takes the lead, which is quite a pity.

^ I'm thinking that a lot of those 'twisted' sounds are manipulated organ. I don't know - they created unique sounds from their instruments........
