Definitely more to the prog side of the prog-fusion sound but I can't recommend the first Shadowfax album "Watercourse Way" (1976) highly enough.  Only one song has vocals and overall I think of them as a Mahavishnu/Gryphon/Larks Tongues hybrid.  Oddly enough, they drastically changed direction and became well known in the 80's for being one of the first new age bands on the Wyndham Hill label.  I finally got 'Watercourse Way' on CD from amazon a few months ago.

It was Jeff Clyne and Brian Miller, and BTW, they're already on PA, something I just found out myself:

Glad I could bring them to your attention.

Human, I just listened to `Silent Promise' a few hours ago, I love it so much!!

Sadly, at the time I bought the LP of it, I really didn't know much about the band, so I left their other album behind. Of course, I've never come across it again.

Terrific band, I even found a touch of Catnerbury on that second one! Plus, the cover is wonderful! I really treasure that album!

Both albums are currently available on a 2-CD set. I just found it on Amazon, tho it's a little steep.

Go for it, man!

I assume the first album is as good as the second one I have. It's got these lovely floating female vocals, just wordless harmonies. Great stuff!

Guitarist Ray Gomez was one jammin' cat back in the 1970's!   Notable works included Stanley Clarke's solo LPs, Patrick Moraz "The Story of i" and tons more.  

Check out his discography:
