Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?

I just wanted to thank everyone on this thread for the fascinating discussion, & the introduction to Potemkine.
Thanks to hanging around hereabouts, over the years, I've been able to take the plunge with German experimental music from the early-/mid-70s, & the nether regions of Canterbury. Zeuhl was always on my radar, but nothing I'd heard made an immediate impact. This thread turns out to have been just the entry-point for which I was looking.
Triton hit the mark spot on, immediately. This is a kind of space of structured chamber jazz Improvisation which absolutely works for me.
If it's not too much of an imposition, would anyone care to suggest where I might go next - given how much Triton hits my mark?!

I blame Wynton, what was the question?

Thanks Ian, & Steve.
I'll start checking out these recommendations.
(I sometimes feel a little like Thor Nogson in the company of these threads!)
I was going through exactly the same exercise as you a few years ago and still spend most of my time here searching out new stuff. It's nice to pass it forward for once.

So, I've managed to have a bit of a listen to Serge Bringolf's "Strave", & quite enjoyed what I heard.
Funnily enough, however, the thread on Vortex sent me to Les Cycles des Thanatos, & this has slipped in alongside Potemkine as records that are getting more regular plays.
I have both the Bringolf Strave albums and like them. I need to go back and revisit them. FWIW, I got more mileage out of them than the Vortex, but the majority opinion over in that thread seems to be pretty positive, so maybe I'm the outlier on that one. Anyway, the Strave stuff is cool.

The Strave stuff is well worth exploring, one of my happy discoveries in recent years, its good stuff.

^ That Noa is really good, albeit less overtly Zeuhl than the Bringolfs. Quite alright and very worthy of a listen is also the ultra-obscure Corsican band Rialzu.

"[...] things that we never dreamed of doing in Crimson or in any band that I've been in," - Tony Levin speaking of SGM
Thanks for the further recommendations. I'll check out the Noa first off!
The Rialzu album is awfully derivative, like really derivative, of Magma. As in, some of it seems lifted straight from Köhntarkösz. But the mix of Zeuhl and Corsican polyphony is undeniably unique, and makes it worth listening to. Plus, how many albums in the Corsican tongue can you name that aren’t straight Corsican folk music?

I'll add an obscure recommendation: Evohé. I'd never heard of them before, until earlier this year when they made more than 2 hours worth of archival material from the 70s available on their website: http://evohe.eu/les-morceaux/
