Richard, don't quote me on it, but I'm pretty sure I remember an advance ad for `Shadowlands' that appeared in an issue I've got of that `Progression' magazine, and it boasted about it being the real thing on the studio album?! I'd need to check whem I'm back home, but that was actually why I instantly thought of that album? We'll see....

Which DVD was that off? The one with Carl Groves fronting the band and them playing stuff off the `Inconsolable Secret' album? I've got two of theirs (that one and the `Lex Live' set too), but they seem long overdue for a new concert DVD/Bluray! Many albums have come and gone since the last one!

 
I'm fairly sure its the Lex Live DVD although I haven't seen it for a while.
 
I've also got the Live at Belmont DVD which I think is the other one you are referring to as it does have some tracks from TIS. That's a superb DVD.

Yes, that's it, `Live at Belmont'! I think I'm going to dig it out for a new watch tonight!

I remember it being a superior DVD sound-wise to the `Lex' one, which I think had some rather messy mixing in parts. I remember some sections where the female vocalists were way too low and very hard to make out. Still, nice to hear some of the `Lex Rex'-era material live.

If I can find that `Shadowlands' ad (and, you know, it wasn't some screwy half-imagined detail I accidently made up) I'll report back!

Drifting away from prog for a moment (although it is quite a proggy song), there is some fantastic church organ in this Nelly Furtado song.

during the whole concert.

I've always enjoyed the pipe organ in Yes' Parallels. And yes, it is a righteous instrument of prog!

Did anyone mention the portative organ played by (the former) David Palmer on the Jethro Tull albums Songs From the Wood  through to Stormwatch?

The most chilling has to be the climax to La corne du bois des pendus by Univers Zero.  Surprised it has not been mentioned so far!

A song titled Sonatanas by Costa Rica's LordFish. It's very good progressive psychedelia.

Hi,
 
Nahhhh ... just go listen to Keith Jarrett spinning some jazz licks ... and you will never, ever, go listen to rock bands try to be cool and sound better, than they are.
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

This:
 
A portative organ (portatif organ, portativ organ, or simply portative, portatif, or portativ) (from the Latin verb portare, "to carry") is a small pipe organ that consists of one rank of flue pipes, sometimes arranged in two rows, to be played while strapped to the performer at a right angle. The performer manipulates the bellows with one hand and fingers the keys with the other. The portative organ lacks a reservoir to retain a supply of wind, thus it will only produce sound while the bellows are being operated. The instrument was commonly used in secular music from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries.

Two songs from The Flower Kings' epic Stardust We Are album feature the pipe organ. Church of Your Heart has it in the middle of the song, and Pipes of Peace (albeit a brief interlude track) is entirely performed on the pipe organ.

Sort of ... but yeah! Only Keith Jarrett is crazy enough for that, I would think! But it's a great album!

La Cathedrale de Strasbourg by Focus has some majestic pipe organ. The most spine tingling use of the instrument ever is of course this (has to be seen in context of the film for full effect):
"And now...on the drums...Mick Underwooooooooood!!!"

"He's up the pub"
