Yep.
I was a huge prog rock fan back in the day, but my tastes developed over time, as did my love of dance. (Tried dancing to anything by Yes or ELP?
)
UW has always seemed to me to represent the natural progression - no pun intended - from the long, complicated experimental, and sometimes cacaphonic, pieces of the 70s to intelligent, structured dance music. A prime example of this would be Juanita/Kiteless/TDOL. They took prog rock down the road it should have gone, imo, nurtured it, developed it, perfected it.
I am not saying everything the guys ever wrote is perfect in that sense, but most of it is, for me.
