agreed, though I think 'Magicians Hat' and 'Attic Thoughts' are slighty superior to that album. Cool

Khan's "Space Shanty" have some brilliant Hammond works, one of my favourites...
Percussion, sir!

For serious Hammond-drenched action, the Swedish duo Bootcut's two CDs are a must:

Hammonds vs. Drums (2001)
De Fluff (2006)

Amazing!!

I have to check this "Quill" 'cause I know all of your other choices and I have to say that they are all really great.



I got the remaster of Sursum Corda when it came out a couple years back and after waiting so long to hear this "'70s classic of American prog," I was disappointed. Shameless ELP worship (even down to the hairstyles), but unlike other bands that forded the same waters, like Triumvirat, it just wasn't that great. Just my opinion. I await your thoughts on the album.

I've checked "Curses and Invocations", I think that it's their best album. Lots of Hammond & mellotron there. As always with this band I felt like in good, old 70' when I was listening to this record.

I am glad you like the second Standarte album Ozzy Tom because it's "a Hammond freak's wet dream" Wink !

About Quill's album Sursum Corda, Verslibre: it's very ELP oriented but the great thing is that Quill succeeds to give it a warm extra dimension, ELP often sounds too clinical/technical, I love that extra dimension Quill delivers Thumbs%20Up

By the way, did I mention Hansson & Karlsson, excellent Hammond B3 driven progressive jazz Clap

Out of that list I'd say it's a direct toss-up between ELP and Eloy. Probably go for Eloy to be honest, but just by a hair.
My entertainment dollar is burning in my pocket!

Thick as a Brick, there's some real killer Hammond on that

everything by ELP, honestly, except for the piano-driven tunes

Anything featuring the fuzzed out organ talents of the Mighty Daves (Sinclair & Stewart) would be top of my list.

much as I dislike them I fear that Triumvirat should feature here. Maybe Illusions on a double dimple or Spartacus

Dalt99, two years ago I added Julian's Treatment to Prog Archives but it is still an overlooked band, what a wonderful and often compelling Hammond organ drenched prog (and great female vocals too), I am glad you have mentioned this amazing early Seventies band Clap!
