Hey ProgArchives, what are some good reccomendations of prog songs that include the Vibraphone? A good example of my favorite is "An Inmates Lullaby" by Gentle Giant.

Thanks!

L'Orchestre Sympathique - En concert a la Grande Passe. The album is a feast of vibes.

Zappa, Pierre Moerlen's Gong and Tortoise. Although all three have mallet percussion including but not limited to vibraphone. Floyd has some vibraphone on their '60s stuff, the More soundtrack specifically I think.

Absolutely, and including for these purposes the albums Gazeuse and Expresso II when they were still just called Gong.

Pierre Moerlen also played an extended vibraphone solo on Mike Oldfield's Incantations Part Four.
Speaking of Gentle Giant, Kerry Minnear played prominent vibraphone on Schooldays.

it's a great one too, just before the climax, and my favourite part, of the album
But it's the only vibraphone in prog that comes to mind for me

There's also this vibraphone solo (along with the flute) near the end of Movin' On by Circus.
Definitely my favorite moment of that track.

Family; particularly on 'Song for me' and 'Fearless'- Poli Palmer created part of Family's idiosyncratic and diverse sound with his use of vibraphone!!

I think Pollen used a vibraphone at some point, but I'm not sure.
