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.
