Prog Contest 2022: Round 1 Match 4

This time out, we've got a British jazz fusion band with an album from 1977 against a Dutch Canterbury Scene prog rock band.


Circus - Movie' On

Swiss prog with some Genesis elements that also uses a wider variety of instruments and plays some "heavy" bits here and there plus some vocals a la Peter Hammill. First half of the album is great but its second half, the 22 min title track, is a top tier prog epic and the true star of the record

Supersister - To the Highest Bidder

Supersister offering the best of Dutch prog, with Canterbury scene inspirations. To the highest bidder is their most consistent effort, with all the quirks of a Caravan or Matching Mole record and mild catchy vocals that stick in your head and a repertoire of instruments and melodies that will surprise and delight any veteran prog fan.
