it's like a bizarro radio edit of one of those long Comus suites

Chad & Jeremy - Painted Dayglow Smile

You have no idea how pleased I am to see a Chad and Jeremy mention. They are seriously one of my favorite 60's groups.

those two songs were very lovely!

xpost - I've been listening to Of Cabbages and Kings and The Ark a lot lately. they made some of the most convincing post-Sgt-Pepper's pop I've heard (w/r/t their grasp of pre-rock melodies and the way their psych songs aren't too over-the-top oddball like a lot of Pepper pastiches) & those two albums remind me a lot of Curt Boettcher's productions from the same era.

Family used the 'rooms with many doors' trick a lot, actually (3 X Time, The Chase, From Past Archives, Peace of Mind). maybe they were the progenitors of %microprog% (to use an imago coinage)

%<3%

will check out more by both artists for sure

The Ark rules. I've always thought that if that was their only album, they'd be a lot more revered than they are.

yeah, it seems like a lot of people view C&G as bandwagon hoppers/dilettantes because they started off as such a square, conventional folk-pop act. but 'A Summer Song' is still a great song, and a lot of more respected lite-psych acts had similar career arcs.

the examples in this thread and the recent poll make me want to hear more stuff by the Boo Radleys, who I'm not really familiar with at all.

Hooray, ILM has finally got round to discovering Family... after 15 years!

Talking of Chad & Jeremy, did anyone else used to enjoy this sitcom Jeremy was in?

So many rooms with so many doors, even more windows;; the damn ceiling gets peeled off towards the end:

Feel like Boards of Canada should get a mention in here. . .

most if not all of song cycle by van dyke parks

thinking feller union local 282's "cup of dreams" surely opens and closes and reopens a couple of doors in a room.

that mirrors song is great! they sound like a long-lost paisley underground band from the wrong era and hometown. I'll have to check out one of those posthumous comps.

i.e. when will you diphsits realize that Laura Nyro is the soul-progge schnizzle?

Another early example:

I was just listening the the Eli album this morning, and thinking of this very thread.

most of these aren't really rooms with many doors. they're more like railroad apartments. a bunch of rooms in a row.

Dancing about architecture.

are throwing muses too obvious for this thread

Joni Mitchell's output from 1975-1979

I feel this kind of trait is definitely more psyche than prog.

do The Boswell sisters qualify as jazz age micro-prog? they were famous for their labyrinthine re-arrangements of jazz standards and contemporary hits, with lots of unexpected segues and key changes and tempo shifts. ex. 'It's the Girl':

(cf. Lee Morse's pleasant but utterly conventional version from the same year)

you're a scholar

this is great, reminds me of nothing so much as the bonzo dog doo-dah band. would be keen to hear more

Gotta be some Blur and Kate Bush examples too.

'All We Ever Look For' has exactly 3 doors http://www2b.abc.net.au/tmb/BoardFiles/164/Emoticons/sunglasses.gif

Hop Along - Not Abel

Grateful Dead - “St. Stephen”

(there are variable criteria being used in this thread; but to me that song literally sounds like you’re hanging out / wandering in & out of a room with multiple doors)

This isn't very good but they certainly cram a lot into 3'15". There's even a drum solo!
