    ok, I have them in my lap... one of the Boccuzzi brothers plays Guitars and Keyboards (the other just Keyboards) and there's a Bass player. I misremembered Sax somehow... gonna do those LPs when I get back to the letter B again for sure
    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?

    Zoltan. They're a new-ish band out of the UK.

    They have at least 2 albums and an EP. Keyboards, bass and drums. No vocals.

    I'm unable to post videos at the moment, but you shouild be able to find clips on line.

    Not all of it. I'm sure Airlane didn't have any vocals. But at any rate, there's bass guitar on some of those tracks too, not sure about Airlane, but Cars, for instance definitely has a bass guitar in it.

    Elephant9 would fit, maybe. It has lots of organ, though, but played by the mighty Stale Storlokken.

    Funny, first thing that came to my mind was Jan Hammer - The First Seven Days. But "Oh Yeah?" is great too, especially this tune:



    There's a download only album of that band called Jan Hammer Group - Live in NYC; that one slays!

    here's a great, relatively new duo!

    Definitely one to check out. This track actually reminds me a lot of Goblin:

    Am I The Only One to mention this gem?



    P.S. I see Harald Grosskopf has been mentioned already, he is also the guy behind the drum kit here.

    [QUOTE=Azol;719008]Am I The Only One to mention this gem?

    A gem it is ! One of my real favorites as well.
    And ofcourse Harald played on 'X' and Body loves as well.
    For me, the ultime highlight of electronic music is with Harald and Klaus on 'Sense'. Here is a nice review of that: http://till-kopper.de/sense.html

    That was great. I don't think I'd heard that one before. Looks like that one and the second have never been issued on CD.
