Oh yes, this is a superb record.

 I have this LP but with a different cover ! 
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Yeah, those are killer. Jan Hammer's on Big City, too, laying down some MiniMoog goodness in "Enchanted Pool Suite." Sancious is on a few tracks on Venusian Summer (which also sports one of the best album covers ever).

Also, taking it to the edges of jazz fusion are the extraordinary albums and especially live performances by George Clinton's Parliament and its myriad side projects and offshoots. Amazing creativity!

Great thread....CENTIPEDE!  Keith Tippett and a proggy jazz big band.  That's music played for music's sake....wish I still had a copy of Septober.  Lost it and a pile of others on a move long ago.
 
Keeping in that same vein....Phil Miller's In Cahoots stuff.  Fantastic 80s fusion.
 
I also just picked up a copy of Gary Burton's Tong Funeral and Amalgam on a 2for1 CD.....been on my player for the past few days.  Highly recommended.  Can't beat Carla Bley's compositions.....speaking of which, that band Bley had with Jack Bruce in the mid-70s....more great fusion.  Better stop here.....not very "lost" stuff per se, but some stuff I've been listening to recently.
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

Yeah Bartek, I had a listen here the other day, but had little time to post. 
Anyway just my cup of tea fusionwise - and I really dig the creepy crawly electronics they've incorporated into their sound. Very nice and futuristicThumbs Up

I simply adore this one:

If you enjoy a little peyote in your ch-chii-ch, then you should go purchase this bad boy asap.

Back Door has 5 albums, plus a semi-compilation with some re-worked, also new tunes (listed on PA).
Their bass player Colin Hodgkinson has 2 excellent solo albums (not listed).
A live recording by Pete York, Brian Auger and Hodgkinson "Steaming" (INAK Records, Germany) is a pure joy to hear!
Hodgkinson has a legendary reputation about the way he plays his Fender bass, notably his approach to playing of chords.

Jeff Berlin with Vox Humana (2 albums) has some fine moments,
equally Tony Lavitz (keys) of Dixie Dregs had a number of solo works (out of print) that are worthy of attention. 

Wilding & Bonus "Pleasure Signals"(?) backed by Brand X is reasonably nice.

I highly recommend the Polish band LABORATORIUM (http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=2857). Here's the title track from their second album MODERN PENTATHLON (my favourite):



All their albums have been reissued on CD by Metal Mind Productions.

I consider drone metal to be progressive...
