Madrigal - little-known prog band from Spokane, WA

   Not much good music ever came out of Spokane, WA but Madrigal was definitely an exception - a class act, heavy prog, and I think they only had a couple of albums:  Waiting... and On My Hands.  I think they were active from the mid/late '80's to the early '90's.  Years ago both were available from Musea - don't know if they still are.  As far as comparisons go, they remind me a bit of early Genesis. 
I'll post a couple of videos - this first one is off of Waiting... and is an instrumental jam.

This next one is from On My Hands, with vocals.  Kevin Dodson, the singer (and drummer) has a nice voice.  I've always enjoyed both of these albums and wanted to share, since they are really quite obscure.

	This short track (from Waiting...) is stellar stuff, IMO.
