left field prog (roughly)

It was me that brought up Five Storey Ensemble, you're welcome :D It was probably the prog v. 3.0 thread or whatever it's called.

And I did end up enjoying the latter two of the albums Noel Emits posted up there, especially Shnabubula because I got the similar impression of it being like the soundtrack to an insane psychedelic jrpg. The Nick Prol thing is also good, like a lot of that sort of stuff it threatens to collapse under the weight of it's own wackiness and a couple of tracks are a bit annoying, but it's got enough of a Bob Drake/Cheer-Accident etc thing going on to be enjoyable.

Bass player recently posted a video from Knower's New Year's Eve gig at Irving Plaza and it brought me to this thread. Need to investigate more.

knower are goddamn classic, louis cole put out a solo record this year that i would've nommed if there weren't also so many other great records to nom!

lol i never would have expected this to be the thread to hide knower discussion, they're really pretty cool but i've never really thought of them as prog, just synth funk that's very heavy on their jazz chops

I'm still interested in good stuff from late 60s/early 70s as mentioned in original post at least as much as the more recent stuff.

Maybe we should start a KNOWER thread.
