Alan Simon - Excalibur V – Move, Cry Act, Clash!
Review by Gary Hill
Alan Simon consistently creates compelling music. It's generally of the prog rock variety, but lands more along the lines of rock opera or even musical theater.

Steeleye Span - Hark! The Village Wait
Review by Gary Hill

The first album from Steeleye Span, this was released in 1970. It's perhaps more acoustic and traditionally driven than the discs that followed it.

I previously reviewed another set from this act. Like that one, this is not necessarily the tightest fit under progressive rock.

Steeleye Span - Please to See the King
Review by Gary Hill

This is Steeleye Span's second disc, released in 1971. As much as I enjoy the first album, I'd say that this one elevates things a bit.

Steeleye Span - Ten Man Mop Or Mr. Reservoir Butler Rides Again
Review by Gary Hill

Steeleye Span's third album, this was released in 1971 (and was their second release that year). I think this is proggier than the first two.
