J.S. Bach was definitely proto-proto-prog!!  Check out the pipe organ in this clip!!  WOW!  Nice performance also!

The great organ at the basilica in the town of Lezajsk Poland is one of the finest in Europe. It dates back to the second half of the XVIIth century.

Par Lindh's Gothic Imressions and Mundus Incompertus are probably the best examples

don't mention Yes'77 "Awaken" epic
also, Rick Wakeman's solo album 1977 , recorded in the same Swiss studio as "Going for the one" album

I just thought of the title song off Goblin's 'Roller' album, and, also (even though it's a Harmonium), Peter Hammill does a grand job on his 'In Camera' album - spine tingling and psychotic to boot.
And I can certainly vouch for Par Lindh's 'Gothic Impressions' for sure Big smile.

Three Monks---Neo Gothic Progressive Toccatas.

This album is saturated with it. Also, some churchy pipe organ on the new UNREAL CITY RPI album called La Crudeltà Di Aprile. Check that out. One the best albums of 2013 for me. :)

Someone forgot to mention the nice track "Jane Seymour", from Rick Wakeman's album "The Six Wives Of Henry VIII". Excellent for feeling the powerful sounds and the strenght delivered by the Organ instrument.

The Three Monks - The Legend Of The Holy Circle, is a 2013 release. They've added synths this time which is the main difference to Neo Gothic Toccatas as mentioned above. Both are essential instrumental albums imo

I just searched and they have a Bandcamp page! So I'll be checking this out. Thanks again for the tip. This is one of Zuffanti's projects. I must've seen an update and forgotten all about it.

Ah, yes, Jarrett's “Hymns/Spheres”, which is all improvised. Not too progressive for me, I assure you.

Hey, what about Strawbs’ Grace Darling? Not only one of my favorites of theirs, but based on a true story to boot.

Ah, just the thread I was looking for !

I'm hoping to go back on the air at KZMU (Moab, UT) and will do mostly themed programs, including one highlighting the pipe organ in rock..

Here's one I didn't see mentioned: Mannheim Steamroller's G Major Toccatta (from Fresh Aire IV). There's been debate on other threads about whether or not Mannheim Steamroller is prog, or at least prog related. This is probably as proggy as they ever got...

Glass Hammer's `Run Lisette' has a tasty overload of pipe organ (starts just after the twenty second mark), and I think it shows up on plenty of other spots on the same `Shadowlands' album:

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!

First page mentions The Three Monks and the album Neo Gothic Progressive Toccatas. I can vouch for that and also the follow up album The Legend Of The Holy Circle.
 
The former is wonderful if you just want pure unadulterated pipe organ in all its glory. The second album has a slightly expanded sound including synths. Both are mighty good!

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!

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.

Hugh Banton should be mentioned here.
 
Not only does he play pipe organs but also owns a company that builds them http://www.organworkshop.co.uk/" rel="nofollow - http://www.organworkshop.co.uk/  
 
Next time you are in Blackburn Cathedral check out the pipe organ. An original HB pipe organ.

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

Also Invocations, released in 1981 as a part of 2 LPs album titled Invocations  / Moth And The Flame (second LP is a solo piano music, actually the best solo piano stuff that Jarret recorded in 80s).

In my humble opinion, it's a better Mr Jarrett's organ music LP than both Hymns & Spheres vinyls.

I saw the reformed Nice about 10 years or so ago at the Royal Albert Hall and Keith Emerson launched the evening by playing the RAH pipe organ for about 10 minutes. It was a pretty good evening. First, half was the Keitth Emerson band and second half the Nice.

The " https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9KoHXU3hyEdh_W-KBsqn5U6uciJzWW69" rel="nofollow - Tablette " series is definitely pipe organ oriented – except that only Tablette 6 would really be called prog rock, the others aren't meant to blast.

MPXXIV has brought us one pipe organ track !



This in addition to good old thread of http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=90247" rel="nofollow - pipe organ music being revisited by rock band gear lovers (feel free to add some hidden gems there)

The new Motorpsycho & Ståle Storløkken live album En konsert for folk flest features Storløkken on church (Steinmeyer) organs. Highly recommended! Thumbs Up

I haven't responded to this thread yet, but all I can think of from my collection is : ELP, Yes and Par Lindh Project. I think Par Lindh takes the cake from what I know.
