Thanks! Have not experienced any of the music of Argentina yet so this is exciting.

Sweet, will do! The whole Italian prog scene fascinates me. It's wonderful how one nation can rise up to be a prog juggernaut like that.

Yes it is. There's a thirty second sound sample to check out on their wikipedia page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refugee_(Refugee_album)

Triumvirat are essential listening for keyboard heavy progressive rock; I would recommend their first three albums to start with, 1972's "Mediterranean Tales", 1974's "Illusions On A Double Dimple" and from 1975, "Spartacus". They happen to be my favorite band.

It is my understanding that there is a lot of Italian Progressive rock that is in the ELP vein....I'm not an expert here but imagine that the best known band like PFM, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, and Le Orme are probably good bands to start with. I'm sure the RPI folks would likely have better recommendations.

Thanks for the recommendations! You and I are on the same page musically it seems, I love all things keyboards as well, especially synthesizers. Just finished listening to Score, that was magical!

Manfred Manns Earth band are a keyboard heavy prog band who employ synths a lot.
I particualrly recommend you try "Solar Fire" and maybe even "Nightingales and Bombers" Edited by Hugh Manatee - December 15 2021 at 17:32 |

I'm pretty sure Glass is mostly synth. There could be a little organ in there since there's a bit of canterbury influence in there. Illuminations is a good one to check out by them first. There's also Glass Hammer (different band) who are also pretty synth heavy but I don't know them that well except that they are in the classic symph direction. Definitely check out the stuff on progaardvarks list too.

Sounds like I have some Glass to check out! lol  Glass Hammer sounds like they would be pretty cool, love that classic symphonic sound.*Knew I would mess up the quote lol

Have you ever heard the Refugee album? That has Moraz on it as well as the other former Nice members minus Emerson(obviously). I'm not sure how much synth is on it but I'm guessing just as much as relayer. I haven't heard it myself though so I can't really comment much.

Thanks! I would say I would check it out... but Relayer is actually one of the albums that got me into Prog! Patrick Moraz is an incredible player, and Gates Of Delirium is a mind-blowing tune.

"Relayer" by Yes might fit your bill, Patrick Moraz was much more of a synth player than Wakeman!
