If you like ELP you may want to check the modern italian band BAROCK PROJECT, their music is quite different but somehow inspired by the great Keith, and its leader Luca Zabbini is a real crack at the piano and keyboards, both their 2 albums are reviewed by me here in PA and sadly by nobody else, I really think it's a pitty no other PA members appreciate this band.
 
For piano work but more on the jazz side than prog, Michael Camilo is a real crack (as are so many others in jazz, but I think that Camilo's style has something which makes him more appealing to prog fans than many other jazz pianists).
 
Have you seen the movie Calle 54? If not try these 2 clips to get a feel for what good piano is about, Camilo in the first and Chucho Valdes in the second, I get the goosebumps when I see this... let them play until the end!

this stuff is very much on the jazzy side, but you can't deny it also rocks

Bo Hansson's "Tom Bombadill"  is a quick one that really impressed me on first hearing it, but turns out its easy to play - anyways, if Baggs can play it ,anyone can.

Dutch bands Cliffhanger and Coda are very good too. Complex and very much keyboard driven. Symphonic prog with a touch of neo, and in the case of Coda, wonderful concept albums too.

EJWUUSL WESSAHQQAN.

No, not a concept on fantasist, Clark Ashton Smith.
 
This is  german instrumental psychkraut  ABSOLUTELY SATURATED  with organ. ("Organ-infested' as one catalogue puts it.)
 
So much Hammond that you just might bleed out the ear & bumhole.
 
 
....
CANNABIS INDIA was a good suggestion.
 
(There are at least 5 others from 70s Germany.)

Keyboarddriven,

not just music that has keyboards.

So, the album must be written by the keyboardist, instead of the guitarist.

I have an avant-garde symphonic black metal album for you:

Arcturus - The Sham Mirrors


Every song is written by their keyboardist, and indeed, it's almost entirely comprised of keyboard melodies, you barely notice the guitar!

It is played by a bunch of Norwegian black metal musicians, so you know it's gonna sound dark and cold. Occasionally a beam of light shines through and it's phenomenal!

Other than keyboards, there is also an abundance of sound effects / electronic samples stuff. Very futuristic and sci-fi themed. It's like travelling in your space ship 2000 years into the future and landing on a planet and going into combat zone with laser weapons and such.
