Before Prog, there was TIMEBOX. Ollie wasn't just a great guitarist, he did that too.

Birth Control's "We All Thought We Knew You", off of their 1977 album "Increase", which was dedicated to Helmut Koellen of Triumvirat, who died that year.

Gary Burton is the first thing that comes to mind when talking about them vibes.

He's not a prog rock artists but he has some fusion stuff

Run to the record shop and pick up some early Gary Burton albums.....Duster (with Larry Coryell), Lofty Fake Amalgam (Coryell!), Genuine Tong Funeral (with Carla Bley), Throb, and the albums with Keith Jarrett and Chick Corea (Crystal Silence).  Burton is a trailblazer of vibes in jazz-fusion.....hell, he's still kicking up a storm.....check out his stuff!
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

Here's one that's relatively obscure:
 
 
The band Zem from Asturias, led by vibraphonist Xuan Zem. They have one s/t album and it's excellent. The track from the video leads it off.

The best I've ever seen is "Tunnels," which featured Swiss vibraphonist Marc Wagnon, guitarist John Goodsall, bassist Percy Jones, and others.  Highly highly recommended!


Check out the videos on the channel.

I'm suprised nobody mentioned Colosseum yet!





Does not appear throughoutly, that's true, but I like a unique feel it gives the band at times.

An album that slipped under the radar of some Bill Bruford fans (though the title track is the only one he plays on).  This is the title track, though it's not openly labeled as such:



In earlier posts that mention Pierre Moerlen’s Gong no one mentioned “Time Is the Key”—specifically the first four tracks: Ard Na Greine, Earthrise, Supermarket and Faerie Steps.  A bloody 17-minute continuous percussive epic!!!!


There is some subtle vibraphone in Crying Song by Floyd, from "More."

Clap Exactly COLOSSEUM LIVE - how can anyone here miss that ?!

Dave Greenslade is a superb player, both organ & vibraphone. And the best wah-wah guitar work from anyone is right here folks... Dave Clempson please !

You may see a smile on Tony Banks´ face but that´s unlikely.

I'm just listening to the s/t album by MeTaL-O-PHoNe - a trio of Joachim Florent (of Jean Louis) on bass, Benjamin Flament on vibes and Eli Duris on drums.  Flament uses effects on his vibes to produce a variety of distorted and fuzzed-out sounds, so it's pretty different from any other recording with vibes I've heard. 
Excellent stuff though for those into some avant prog / avant jazz.

Samurai's self titled album had some great vibraphone moments ("Saving It Up for So Long", "As I Dried The Tears Away").

From the 1974 album "Ring" by the Gary Burton Quintet. Great version of Eberhard Weber's "The Colours of Chlo"
