Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield contains pipe organ (at the end, Viv Stanshall says: reed and pipe organ)

Three Monks---Neo Gothic Progressive Toccatas.

This album is saturated with it. Also, some churchy pipe organ on the new UNREAL CITY RPI album called La Crudeltà Di Aprile. Check that out. One the best albums of 2013 for me. :)
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

Someone forgot to mention the nice track "Jane Seymour", from Rick Wakeman's album "The Six Wives Of Henry VIII". Excellent for feeling the powerful sounds and the strenght delivered by the Organ instrument.

Hi,
 
Hmmmm ... I think I'm gonna put on some Keith Jarrett doing some jazz riffs on a pipe organ and then some!
 
Too progressive!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Listen to Tull's Songs from the Wood album. David Palmer plays portative organ in many of the songs.

to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

Enjoy man. It's a great album. I think you'll love it.

The Three Monks - The Legend Of The Holy Circle, is a 2013 release. They've added synths this time which is the main difference to Neo Gothic Toccatas as mentioned above. Both are essential instrumental albums imo

I just searched and they have a Bandcamp page! So I'll be checking this out. Thanks again for the tip. This is one of Zuffanti's projects. I must've seen an update and forgotten all about it.

Ah, yes, Jarrett's “Hymns/Spheres”, which is all improvised. Not too progressive for me, I assure you.

Hey, what about Strawbs’ Grace Darling? Not only one of my favorites of theirs, but based on a true story to boot.

Ah, just the thread I was looking for !

I'm hoping to go back on the air at KZMU (Moab, UT) and will do mostly themed programs, including one highlighting the pipe organ in rock..

Here's one I didn't see mentioned: Mannheim Steamroller's G Major Toccatta (from Fresh Aire IV). There's been debate on other threads about whether or not Mannheim Steamroller is prog, or at least prog related. This is probably as proggy as they ever got...

Glass Hammer's `Run Lisette' has a tasty overload of pipe organ (starts just after the twenty second mark), and I think it shows up on plenty of other spots on the same `Shadowlands' album:

^ its almost certainly going to be sampled ( I've got a DVD where Fred demonstrates all his pre-sets and he seems to have a lot!) but still very nice all the same.

Richard, don't quote me on it, but I'm pretty sure I remember an advance ad for `Shadowlands' that appeared in an issue I've got of that `Progression' magazine, and it boasted about it being the real thing on the studio album?! I'd need to check whem I'm back home, but that was actually why I instantly thought of that album? We'll see....

Which DVD was that off? The one with Carl Groves fronting the band and them playing stuff off the `Inconsolable Secret' album? I've got two of theirs (that one and the `Lex Live' set too), but they seem long overdue for a new concert DVD/Bluray! Many albums have come and gone since the last one!

First page mentions The Three Monks and the album Neo Gothic Progressive Toccatas. I can vouch for that and also the follow up album The Legend Of The Holy Circle.
 
The former is wonderful if you just want pure unadulterated pipe organ in all its glory. The second album has a slightly expanded sound including synths. Both are mighty good!

I'm fairly sure its the Lex Live DVD although I haven't seen it for a while.
 
I've also got the Live at Belmont DVD which I think is the other one you are referring to as it does have some tracks from TIS. That's a superb DVD.
