I am looking for highly rated progarchive albums with very few songs.  Recommendations are appreciated.  I already have the two from Jethro Tull, and Echolyn Mei.

Groups that I already have music from and do not need suggestions from:
Agents of Mercy, Anathema, Discipline., Echolyn, Eloy, Gazpacho, Genesis, Hawkwind, Jethro Tull, Karmakanic, King Crimson, Marillion, Pendragon, Peter Hammill, Phideaux, Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, Riverside, Spock's Beard, Steven Wilson, The Flower Kings, The Tangent, Transatlanic, Uriah Heep, Van Der Graaf Generator, Wobbler, Yes

I have turned into a prog addict and need more.  Thanks!

The sample on progarchives is great, but their stuff is hard to find or very expensive.  Any idea of where to purchase it?

wayside music has their stuff. They had them in stock earlier and they ran out pretty fast, they just restocked last week. I ordered mine right away. I've shopped there many times and I can tell you they are a reliable website. Only thing is sometimes you'll get a refund because they ran out of stock but hadn't updated the website yet.

The closest to the Trilogy would be his first 'Fish Rising' .  I mention RDM cos it is very good and only has two tracks.  More laid  back though

If you´re up for anything you could try Pholas Dactylus - Concerto delle Menti. An unorthodox RPI album with some pretty weird sections, but once heard a couple of times the album grows and grows. I am really into it at the moment.
Oh and the guy who recommended Clearlight´s first clearly has impeccable taste. Count me in on that!
Porcupine Tree - Moonloop - the full monty version though...
Japanese band Far Out made a record called Nihonjinn which I personally love to pieces. It is some sort of mix between psych Moodies and Pink Floyd. Highly recommended!
Cosmic Italian journey through synths, acoustic guitar, piano and one Franco Leprino. The album is called Integrati....Disintegrati. Will probably prove to be a difficult find though...
One of my absolute faves here in form of SBB´s Ze siowem biegne do ciebie. Don´t mind about the vocals though - these guys are like a brilliant symphonic band all blended up by a psych version of Mahavishnu.
Jean-Paul Prat - Masal. Yummy!

I listened to Jade Warrior's Waves for the first time last night and it is a pretty cool psychedelic/space instrumental.  Only 1 song broken into 2 parts because of the limitations of vinyl.

I suggest Miles Davis - A Tribute to Jack Johnson and Univers Zero - Heresie.



Why specifically 1 or 2 track albums? Is there something that makes them better than the others?

I buy all prog, and there is nothing better about them.  I do get excited when I see long tracks that have many changes in music.  I have a ton of Miles Davis including that one, and am trying not to find instrumentals.  Thanks for the suggestions.

Another long songs only album you might enjoy is Godspeed You! Black Emperor's Lift your Skinny fists like Antennas to Heaven. It's instrumental unless you consider spoken word passages to be singing.

other Vangelis recordings are at least 3 tracks or more inc Heaven and Hell (despite the way it was marketed in the UK which suggests just two tracks)
 
Rick Wakeman - Journey To The Centre Of The Earth
 
Tangerine Dream - Tangram
 
Stephen Caudel - Wine Dark Sea
