What early 70's rock bands had violins?

Some pretty brain fry poop (violin isn't exactly a staple of generic rock) came out in the early 70's that might stretch alot of people's definition of rock to a breaking point. Haven't seen these listed yet:

-PFM, "Per Un Amico" might be a good start, "Cook" is not recorded as well, but is a scorching a live record, the "Cook" versions of "Four Holes in The Ground" and "Alta Loma 9 til 5" are anthemic monsters (if you dig Lou Reed Rock and Roll Animal, the best ELP or Focus this stuff will kill you).

-Arti + Mestieri, 1st two "Tilt" and Giro di Valser" still stand as a couple of the most advanced classically informed instumental rock records made. Fantastically skilled players, great ideas and very Italian.

-Wolf, Darryl Way, the violinist from Curved Air made a quantum leap by splitting and forming this band. All three releases are excellent (and mostly instrumental). "Saturation Point" (their 2nd) is my favotite, any Ponty/Holdsworth/Mahavishnu/Zappa head should get a deluxe buzz off this one.

Other supoib violin rock came from:
-Strynx
-Stomu Yamashta (the ones w/ his wife on Violin and Hugh Hopper on bass)
-Edition Speciale
-Zao, (the French 70's band)
-Roxy Music (Viva)
-East of Eden (1st two w/ Dave Arbus)
-Esparanto (start w/ Danse Macabre)
-Alquin, (Mountain Queen)
-King Crimson ("Lark's Tongues", "Starless and Bible Black" and "Red" might seem like twisted nightmares, but they're damn good records).

Hey Cwlondon,
Gentle Giant was definitely on the brainfry poop menu. Really dug that Playing that Fool record. It's not the greatest recording and it looks like the One Way Label did its usual piss poor job of putting an analog recording on those shiny little digital discs.
Gotta' agree that some G.G. tunes seem a little pompous and embarrasing at times, but they came up w/ some pretty intricate and high quality stuff. What really did it for me was being at a concert where they opened for Yes (who were great). Gentle Giant clobbered them in the chops department, no mean feat since the Relayer tour was a real high point for Yes.

Sorry about the opinionated tangent... umm, High Tide (Simon House), Embryo and early Michael Urbaniak also put out some good burnin' violin rock in the early 70's
