Right now it's a tossup between Thinking Plague, Samla, Floyd, and Tangerine Dream. All four are on my all-time favorites list. This series is certainly going out with a bang!
Vote to come later.

Choosing between Les Mortes Vont Vite and 1313 is like choosing between my children. That's my favourite Univers Zero album. Two of my favourite all-time albums ther. I'm going with 1313 because while 1313 is my favourite UZ album, Shub-Niggurath's earlier self-titled album can compete with Les Morts Vont Vite.
There are a number of five star albums in this list in my books.
I think my faves would be in this order (though it's very close between some and a couple I should re-visit):
1313
Les Mortes vont Vites
Maltid
Phaedra
In Extremis
Wish You Were Here
The Magus (haven't listened to it in years, but I liked it)
Up the Downstair (which I've only heard once)
Strong list..

Listening to this beast right now.  Ann Stewart's vocals are the icing on the cake aren't they.

in other words, the Universal Totem Orchestra `The Magus' gets my vote! What an intense, varied and overwhelming album!!
But I LOVE several other albums on this list.
The Schulze and Tangerine Dream albums are stunning, the Univers Zero one is maddening and repetitive, and Floyd's classic has a grand status for a good reason.
Porcupine Tree's `Up The Downstair' is where they beautifully mixed prog, psych, ambient and dance elements together - well, the gorgeous original version, not the nonsense `remixed' version where the dancey programmed beats were replaced with live drums - BAH! Ruined what made it so inventive in the first place!  |
I'm leaning towards The Magus myself but i want to have a listen to these first.

It's been fun guys !
Wish You Were Here, The Magus and Up The Down Stair stand out for me although that first one on the list is incredible as well.
