Pas mal du tout, même si ce n'est pas du prog  mais plutôt du rock psychédélique.

Voici ce qu'en dit Qobuz :

Citation :This hour-long CD is one of the best bodies of British psychedelia ever released. It contains the complete Mighty Baby album from Head Records, expanded to 13 tracks with the addition of five tracks cut by the Action during its 1967 transition period. The opening number, "Egyptian Tomb," sets the tone for the entire album -- in terms of content, structure, and beat, it sounds like the early Allman Brothers, or maybe the Grateful Dead in one of their harder-rocking moments, jamming with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young on an impromptu version of CSN's "Pre-Road Downs." The beauty of the original Mighty Baby album tracks is that they're psychedelia with a solid beat, none of that noodle-rock that drugged-up Brits usually engaged in. "A Friend You Know But Never See" mighthave passed muster on the Byrds' Notorious Byrd Brothers album. Other songs noodle around too much, but overall this is some of the most energetic psychedelia to come out of England, and anyone who enjoys psychedelic guitar will love Martin Stone's and Alan King's work on this album. The bonus tracks, all "lost" demos, are even better: highly rhythmic, driving rock (check out "Understanding Love") with lots of spacy guitar and tougher-than-normal flower-power introspective lyrics, with some gorgeous harmonies dressing it all up -- a near perfect meld of garage rock and psychedelic sensibilities.

Je ne connaissais pas du tout ce groupe et pas un mot dans mes différents dico rock.

Je cite toujours Qobuz :

Citation :The British psychedelic band Mighty Baby grew out of the Action, the North London-based R&B outfit signed to Parlophone by George Martin in 1965. Long considered one of Martin's best discoveries this side of the Beatles, the Action consisted of Reggie King (vocals), Alan King (guitar), Pete Watson (guitar), Mike Evans (bass), and Roger Powell (drums). After Watson left in 1967, he was succeeded by keyboardist Ian Whiteman and blues guitarist Martin Stone, a veteran of the Savoy Brown Blues Band. This new lineup evolved beyond the R&B/soul sound that the original Action had played and into a top-flight experimental group, incorporating the kinds of long jams and folk/blues influences that the West Coast bands were starting to export around the world.
They hooked up with ex-Yardbirds manager Giorgio Gomelsky in 1967 and recorded an album's worth of material that went unreleased. Reggie King was gone by early 1968 to record a solo album, and the remaining members went through a number of name changes, at one point calling themselves Azoth. In 1968, they hooked up with the managers who represented Pink Floyd and T. Rex and cut a new series of demo recordings featuring Whiteman (who wrote most of the songs) and Alan King on lead vocals. These demos were even more ambitious than the 1967 sides, extending the structure of the group's songs with long, beautiful guitar progressions and soaring choruses. Unlike a lot of R&B outfits that tried the psychedelic route and failed, they were suited to the new music by inclination and temperament. 
The president of the band's new record label, Head Records, for reasons best known to himself, chose "Mighty Baby" as the group's new name. The self-titled album that followed was a masterpiece of late psychedelic rock, with long, fluid guitar lines and radiant harmonies; still, Mighty Baby didn't sell very well, although the group continued to play live shows to enthusiastic audiences. Their record label folded in 1970, and the group eventually signed to the Blue Horizon label, where they released a respectable if not wholly successful second album, A Jug of Love. It was clear by then, however, that their moment had passed, both personally and professionally. Mighty Baby broke up in 1971, although several of the members periodically played together on various projects -- Evans and Whiteman even played backup to Richard & Linda Thompson in the late '70s.

Merci yanamar pour cette excellente suggestion.

(04-17-2018, 11:03 AM)Van Der Graaf Generator a écrit : Un premier album étonnant pour ce groupe anglais, avec des changements de rythme constant 
et des mélodies qui s’enchaînent pratiquement sans blanc entre les pistes dans un foisonnement d'instruments divers, 
à noter la voie du chanteur (Roger Chapman) frottée au papier de verre:

Family - Music in a Doll's House (1968)

Roger Chapman – vocals, harmonica, tenor saxophone
John "Charlie" Whitney – lead and steel guitars
Jim King – tenor and soprano saxophones, vocals, harmonica
Ric Grech – bass guitar, vocals, violin, cello
Rob Townsend – drums, percussion

Fantastique album!

Il est considéré comme le disque qui a lancé le Rock Progressif avec l'autre monument SHINE ON BRIGHTLY de PROCOL HARUM, sorti également en 1968.

Ce n'est qu'un an plus tard que KING CRIMSON sortira son IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING, que beaucoup considèrent, à tort, comme étant le disque qui a lancé le mouvement.

J-Luc

Je ne suis pas tout à fait d'accord, si on considère "qu'en gros" la musique progressive est constituée d'un "mélange" 
de rock, de jazz et de musique classique ou au moins de l'un des deux, les Moody Blues ont sorti ...

en 1967:
Days Of Future Passed


puis en 1968:
In Search Of The Lost Chord 


Deux "concepts albums" comme on les appelait à l'époque, idée qu'ils ont d'ailleurs poursuivi ensuite, 
et que l'on peut considérer comme évidement progressif ...
Non ? 

[Lantier]

Je pense qu'avec ce double 33t édité dans les années 70,nous sommes dans le jazz rock prog fusion. (réédition des one & two de Soft Machine ). 
Un groupe anglais dont les 2 premiers volumes n'ont pas encore développé la véritable marque du groupe amorcée par le fameux "third" et les autres ont suivi, fourth, five, six. Beaucoup de plaisir à retrouver tous ces disques (60/70).
