Oh yeah... Gong is the only connection between prog and cheese, well, other than tons of prog-metal, symphonic and neo prog LOL

Correct.

Does someone else fancy having a bash at making one of these? I'll happily do more, of course, but I'm a bit limited with what I can do as I don't really have much prog-metal or neo-prog or owt to work with... Someone with a different music collection would make quite a different quiz, I'm sure.

I would make one but my quiz would be too easy. Perhaps over the weekend I will make one. I can't imagine it will take too long to solve.

Audacity. It's free, it's small and it's incredibly easy to use.

Linky: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

I'll whip up another one this afternoon then. S'not like I've got anything better to be doing! LOL

One of them is National Health "Squarer for Maud".

Not positive about the others, though some sound familiar.  Is #2 Magma?

Ars Nova... Thumbs Down
Magma... Thumbs Down (though you're in the right subgenre)
National Health... Thumbs Up

Great quiz! Some of them seemed familiar... but I can't put a name to any of them at the moment.

I'd be happy to do a quiz or more as well if requested; it could be fun. I have a diverse collection too. Not sure how hard I could make it though.
