This is probably not what the thread opener is looking for, but I love it so much! And another vocal highlight from Renate. |

Not sure how prog it is but it does have nods to Kate Bush and its atmospheric arrangements anticipate Gathering under Anneke. And more importantly, the lady does have a very unique voice:

Hi, I kind of wished that Renate had done a solo album, however, as is the case in one CD, I think that she might be the one person in the band that did not want to rehearse and try to make things look better, and still keep that "krautsomething" alive by improvising, and just doing stuff that might not sound as good as material that is a bit more focused. But she is strong in her own way, and I wish that she had been able to channel it into something more than a haphazard improvisation lasting a long time, that was ... maybe just for me ... meaningless ... otherwise, except for the fact that it was an improvisation, and one that ... probably won't matter, anyway! Her vocals, for my ears ... were fairly well tuned to the material for a few albums, but I have a feeling that the band deciding that she was not going to be up front all the time, probably had a side effect that we see later in at least one CD of her live in performance. But you could take one or two pieces from each album from WOLF CITY on, and make a stupendous album. And "Surrounded by the Stars" is not the only one. The biting venom of the deadly snake in "Mozambique" tells you more about her style and ability that the band was probably afraid to take on, and become some sort of metal band doing a growl like delivery by Renate! But it was effective and a couple of months later that country got its independence ... that was kind of strange, but for me, it brought the message home like so many "songs" can't even try ... But there is something really scary here, and it is in the HIJACK album in "Da Guadeloop" when the feminist wants to march and stand up, and is laughed off! That while funny in a sense, is down right insulting and I think that Renate was shut off probably more times than we know ... but I am not sure that she gives a darn ... she continued on!

here a live track from the legendary Beat-Club. and yes, that's a woman singing, not a man. why the Swedish flag is shown at the beginning is a mystery to me since this is a German band: |

She's probably my favorite singer, and Curved Air is probably my favorite non-mainstream band (ala Pink Floyd, Supertramp, Genesis).. I could list 20 songs! Hard to pick a favorite, I have a handful. Dance of Love |

Sad to have such a post when there are literally hundreds (if not thousands) of songs I could name--and, yes: they're all from accepted prog sources.

Gosh I love 70s prog (and 70s music in general.. and movies) but also the engineering/production. I like more looser songs, not so "tight". I don't like click-tracks (which you can notice on "Teen Town" by Weather Report), and it was so eclectic. I guess I like some sbilance, too, but it's always about the song for me.

Affinity was a short-lived band from the original British progressive rock movement. Affinity's self-titled album, released in 1970, showcases an ingenious eclectic blend of early jazz-rock, psychedelic blues-rock, pop, and folk influences. The band was fronted by the powerful vocalist Linda Hoyle. The album opens with "I Am and So Are You," a song with cryptic lyrics that set the tone for the rest of the record. Other standout tracks include "Night Flight," which features a melancholic opening before bursting into life with impressive energy and vigour; "I Wonder If I'll Care As Much," an Everly Brothers cover that tugs at the heartstrings; and "Mr. Joy," a bluesy song with lyrics that leave one wondering about the identity of "Mr. Joy." The grand finale is a pulsating progressive rock cover of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower," which clocks in at 11 minutes and showcases the singing abilities of Linda Hoyle and the band's raw power and sheer delight. |

Always loved the song, "Night Flight". Linda Hoyle is a favorite of mine... It's not prog, but "Paper Tulips" is a beautiful song. < height="1" width="1" style=": ; top: 0px; left: 0px; border: medium; visibility: ;">

Hi,
I was thinking that the one piece that really stands out in my mind is Annie Haslam in the piece that she burned a hole in DD's ears ... on the live at Carnegie Hall album. His reaction is priceless ... and you know he "heard" it and then some!
