Hmmm.... I'll notify the Psych team, but these guys may have an even better case in Proto-Prog, so you'll have to get the support of a Special collab. That is if they don't pass for Psych. ------------- http://ow.ly/8ymqg" rel="nofollow">

Okay, it is from 1968 so so if anyone collabs are willing to pick it up if it does not pass. -------------

For me they sound less Proto-ish than 13th Floor Elevators.

Sounds like pre-Roxy Music, even the singer sounds like Bryan Ferry.
R&B with latin, jazz, avant thrown discretely into the mix = proto-prog.

great song the Roxy Music reference fits - and a jazzy Chicago or Blood, Sweat & Tears touch this is not psych/space prog in any case - probably proto prog ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Rivertree" rel="nofollow">  |

Anyone willing to champion them for inclusion under Proto-Prog? -------------

Decent band, on the border of progressive rock/progressive pop; the real issue is a single track is simply insufficient to sponsor for Proto. I would say the same for the even less progressive (and crippling) 'Billy the Birdman'. Further, the cut on the whole is not unusually progressive, which is to say easily 75% of bands between about '68 and '73 were at one point or another doing "prog" or had done "protoprog", and this track, though surely psychedelic and para-progressive, is not distinguished from other similar acts of the time that are not on PA (though that does not disqualify an artist for inclusion) . At this time I'm unconvinced, but if the rest of the album is more progressive (Proto), I'd be willing to listen. |

Thats all almost all the album, the only song I can't find a clip of is Poison Dance. -------------
