Hello Drone,
The Family in question here would be a Basque duo, active from 1989 to 1994 and seen as an influential act within the wider context of Spanish indiepop. Certainly it was them who first absorbed the musical influence of New Order into that particular idiom, as particularly evident in the track I shared the weekend before last.
No reason at all for the earlier Family not to appear in a future List if I can find a track I’m sufficiently enamoured with. There have been dips into that era of prog on occasion, and doubtless there will be more. I know I’ve got some Aphrodite’s Child cued up for inclusion at some point.
