I forgot to leave comments - listened to these earlier.
 
Interesting writing - they both kind of remind me of like a Black Sabbath approach to prog.  I don't mean it in a bad way - just sounded like a prog Black Sabbath to me.
 
Thanks for posting - I had not heard of either, but after dinner will go take a look and see if there is more out there to check out.

That Samurai album is their only one, however, the band evolved from the other band I posted (The Web), then went on to become Greenslade.

I will have to check this out, I loved Greenslade. However it seems only Lawson was involved in The Web.

I loved Greenslade

I guessed as much from your avatar
 
I used to love their first album...

Hi,
 
Just love those Roger Dean piccies ... I need to get me a poster for "Bedside Manners are Extra".
 
And Dave Lawson was also a part of one of my favorite albums of all time ... Stackridge's Mr. Mick
