Revisiting a piece of underground prog rock

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.

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)

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