Half of a new LP by the British duo Chad Stuart and Jeremy Clyde is devoted to The Progress Suite, a breezy pastiche that gibes at complacency and hypocrisy. The Asso ciation have begun to perform their liturgical-cum-martial Requiem for the Masses-included in one of their LPs -as a musical playlet, much as The Doors act out the visionary lyrics of The End and The Unknown Soldier. Newcomer Van Dyke Parks has cast his first album...
