Re: Keyboards and synthesizers in Progressive Rock
How about Ozric Tentcles? Not sure if they really qualify as prog or not. I like their stuff when Joie & Merv were still in the line up. Their newer stuff has too much of a techno sound. I saw them at Trees in Dallas back in '94 for their Arborescene tour. I think that was their 1st album with new keyboardist & drummer. Pretty good show.

Re: Keyboards and synthesizers in Progressive Rock
I can't believe nobody has mentioned Triumvirat yet? I actually liked his hammond and synth work better than Emerson's, although I think Emerson had him beat on chops. I'd second Eddie Jobson too, his work on UK's night after night is amazing. What a powerful trio! There's some real nice hammond and CS-80 stuff there.

Re: Keyboards and synthesizers in Progressive Rock
Apart from Rush and Genesis, my favorite prog rock band is It Bites. John Beck is one of my biggest influences!

Re: Keyboards and synthesizers in Progressive Rock
Mike Quatro was a Detroit Prog artist with some serious keyboard chops. His 1972 debut, Paintings features plenty of Minimoog and Mellotron. I saw him in 1976 at the Starwood in Hollywood. He had a trio that played mostly extended instrumentals with the bass player doing an occasional Lake-like vocal. His bass playing sister Suzi was well-known in the 70's. His guitarist sister Patti was a member of the 70's all-female band Fanny which had Prog touches in some of their later music.

Good one! I'm surprised it took that long for Triumvirat to be mentioned.Denms20 wrote:I can't believe nobody has mentioned Triumvirat yet?

And how about PFM? And the more obscure brazilian band Mutantes(are they progrock?)?

Re: Keyboards and synthesizers in Progressive Rock
Unbelievable, no one has brought up Eddie Jobson and U.K. yet. Take a listen to Carrying no cross, and discover yet another dimension of progressive keyboard playing.
As for Equipment, during one time he used a CS80, a CP70, a Putney, a Minimoog, a P5, and a Hammond C3.

Re: Keyboards and synthesizers in Progressive Rock
My bad. Of coarse Jobson had come up earlier. Then again, he deserves to be mentioned every now and then.
