Revisiting a piece of underground prog rock

I kind of agree with simonmoon.  I don’t really like the vocals on side 1.

Oh, and let me add, that I would not consider this an "underground" piece of prog. A solo album by any member of Genesis at the time, could not be underground. They were pretty mainstream at the time. 

After all, in the same year, there were a great number of absolute masterpieces of prog (much better than Smallcreep's Day, IMO), that were substantially more underground.

Sure, they were much more on the avant-prog end of the spectrum, and more edgy, thorny, atonal, etc., but also incredible. And substantially more underground. 

Eskaton - 4 Visions (Magma influenced)
Present - Triskaidekaphobie (heavy, Crimson-ish, avant-garde)
Art Zoyd -  Generation Sans Futur (dark, atonal, avant-garde)
Picchio Dal Pozzo - Abbiamo Tutti I Suoi Problemi (jazzy Canterbury influenced)
Abus Dangereux - Le Quatrieme Mouvement (prog-fusion, with Magma influneces)

Yes I agree a hidden gem. I need to listen to that tonight, its been awhile.
If you haven't heard the prog band Karmakanic, you might dig them.

For sure.

The side long, title track is very good. Not a masterpiece, by any stretch, but a great listen. And the drum work by Simon Philips is worth the price of admission. 

Not a fan of the other side.
