If you like Shultz, then you should check out GO, the fusion/space music supergroup he was a part of with Steve Winwood, Stomu Yamashta, Al Dimeola and Michael Shrieve. Great stuff.

Procol Harum is "sort of" in the Classical Rock genre. Nice lyrics, singing, playing and arrangements. The reason some consider them prog is the occasional long epic song, with proggy lyrics. Piano and organ, but no mellotrons or synthesizers. Robin Trower was guitarist on early albums, and "Broken Barricades" has a bit of Hendrix guitar sound.
First few albums: rock with some psych-prog elements.
Then more mature sounding for a few albums...
I have all albums up to "Grand Hotel".
I can recommend "Salty Dog", "Broken Barricades", "Live" (with orchestra), and "Grand Hotel". The other early albums aren't bad, but the first album is in mono and doesn't sound that great.

no, no, no, no! Johannes Schmoelling completely redefined the TD's sound and style from Tangram! and you forgot post-poland albums like underwater sunlight & livemiles, who are brilliantly composed!

I am really really confused right now.Im interested in Tangerine Dreams music.
Progressive electronic.I listened music preview .I was stunned-wow!!! Emerald Beyond, some live
edition . I like it.But there are lots of albums and lots of ERA`s
Witch ERA`s and albums you recommend to me.
What do you think about these bands?
What can you talk about Procol Harum ,Klaus Schulsze
(correct me if I spelled Schulsze falsely)
