Okay.(function(){function c(){var b=a.contentDocument||a.contentWindow.document;if(b){var d=b.createElement('script');d.innerHTML="window.__CF$cv$params={r:'906b1ddc19b6ac4e',t:'MTczNzY3MDI1Ni4wMDAwMDA='};var a=document.createElement('script');a.nonce='';a.src='/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/scripts/jsd/main.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(a);";b.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(d)}}if(document.body){var a=document.createElement('iframe');a.height=1;a.width=1;a.style.position='absolute';a.style.top=0;a.style.left=0;a.style.border='none';a.style.visibility='hidden';document.body.appendChild(a);if('loading'!==document.readyState)c();else if(window.addEventListener)document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',c);else{var e=document.onreadystatechange||function(){};document.onreadystatechange=function(b){e(b);'loading'!==document.readyState&&(document.onreadystatechange=e,c())}}}})();< height="1" width="1" style=": ; top: 0px; left: 0px; border: none; visibility: ;">

For myself signature Victorianique sound requires pump organ, hurdy gurdy and, most especially, calliope.(function(){function c(){var b=a.contentDocument||a.contentWindow.document;if(b){var d=b.createElement('script');d.innerHTML="window.__CF$cv$params={r:'90633c413b7736d9',t:'MTczNzU4NzYxNS4wMDAwMDA='};var a=document.createElement('script');a.nonce='';a.src='/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/scripts/jsd/main.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(a);";b.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(d)}}if(document.body){var a=document.createElement('iframe');a.height=1;a.width=1;a.style.position='absolute';a.style.top=0;a.style.left=0;a.style.border='none';a.style.visibility='hidden';document.body.appendChild(a);if('loading'!==document.readyState)c();else if(window.addEventListener)document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',c);else{var e=document.onreadystatechange||function(){};document.onreadystatechange=function(b){e(b);'loading'!==document.readyState&&(document.onreadystatechange=e,c())}}}})();< height="1" width="1" style=": ; top: 0px; left: 0px; border: none; visibility: ;">

Did not Adam Wakeman make a concept on Hound of the Baskervilles??(function(){function c(){var b=a.contentDocument||a.contentWindow.document;if(b){var d=b.createElement('script');d.innerHTML="window.__CF$cv$params={r:'9062b7573e21ac2e',t:'MTczNzU4MjE3MC4wMDAwMDA='};var a=document.createElement('script');a.nonce='';a.src='/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/scripts/jsd/main.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(a);";b.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(d)}}if(document.body){var a=document.createElement('iframe');a.height=1;a.width=1;a.style.position='absolute';a.style.top=0;a.style.left=0;a.style.border='none';a.style.visibility='hidden';document.body.appendChild(a);if('loading'!==document.readyState)c();else if(window.addEventListener)document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',c);else{var e=document.onreadystatechange||function(){};document.onreadystatechange=function(b){e(b);'loading'!==document.readyState&&(document.onreadystatechange=e,c())}}}})();< height="1" width="1" style=": ; top: 0px; left: 0px; border: none; visibility: ;">

Therefore, as my last suggestion on this lovely topic, I would also like to suggest the 1972 album "Ys" by Il Balletto di Bronzo because of its haunting atmosphere. If you think YS sounds more like early Genesis than Geese and the Ghost then you are out of your friggin mind.

Oh, I'm very sorry! Gosh, I must confess that I failed to achieve a clear explanation, which everyone might understand, why I suggested Il Balleto di Bronzo... Anyway, if "Genesis" is actually the main demand in this topic, here is another Italian band, Submarine Silence. Their albums, adorned with nothing less than Paul Whitehead's Victorian-era style illustrations, should come into play.

Funny how someone tried to poo poo my suggestion of Geese and the Ghost.   Victorian or not you won't find many albums more similar to Nursery Cryme or Trespass than that one. ;)

While I don't know how Vlad Tepes prog sounds, I believe that 'Victorian Prog' has to have strong romantic and pompous elements due to the character of the Victorian era. For instance, the Italian band Mangala Vallis musically nailed it with their album called Microsolco.
