Interesting to see from the responses so far how highly regarded 'Epilog' by Anglagard appears to be; here was a band who appeared on the scene in the early 1990s, a full 15/20 years after prog-rock's heyday, released two studio albums (plus a rather patchy live album), then disappeared, never to be seen again.
Many bands have followed such a short career path, but few to my knowledge have left behind such an army of admirers for such a limited catalogue.
Had I been told 'Epilog' was released in 1975/1976, I would not have batted an eyelid, such is the authenticity of their "classic" prog-rock sound - they shall be missed!

Snowgoose is a good suggestion but I like Jeff Beck's There and Back
which is a great album from start to finish. Very jazz rock with some
prog time signatures thrown in for good measure.

How can any of you not Mention "The Enid" - How about Aerie Farie Nonsense - Fand is surely one of the finest pieces of music - written in the late 70's / early eighties.............

Snow Goose, as far as PURE prog goes. Is, hands down, the BEST instrumental album out there.
Blow by Blow, Wired, The Sixteen Men of Tain, Believe It, Gazuese, Enigmatic Oceans..... the list goes on.

Bugger, you are absolutely right Swinton! The Enid are a great
instrumental band and rightfully worthy of our laudation. I saw them at
the Hammersmith Odeon in the 80's where they performed 'Fand' for
supposedly the last time and it was a truly stunning experience.

I also saw them at The Hammersmith - I was a member of The Stand - the fanclub of the Enid, I also saw them at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester - Fine, Fine concerts !!!

To "Snow Goose" and the two Jeff Beck albums ("Blow by Blow" & "There & Back") mentioned earlier, I would add:
Quiet Sun - Mainstrem (though there's one vocal track--the last one--it is mostly an instrumental album) "Sol Caliente" and "Mummy Was an Asteroid, Daddy Was a Small Non-Stick Kitchen Utensil" are awesome tracks.
Jean Luc Ponty - Cosmic Messenger
"Ethereal Mood" and "Egocenric Molecules" are the real standouts for me on this one.

It's the un-identical twin to Manzanera's Diamond Head album.

Maybe not prog, but Jean Michel Jarre's Equinox is good and maybe I could just wave a small flag for that oldie-but-goldie, Tubular Bells (okay, not entirely instrumental - given the Viv Stanshall contribution as MC - but almost!)

HTM never released an all-instrumental album, they always featured vocals by the underrated Stanley Whitaker.
