Great idea to start a thread like this!!  As for me:
- Focus - Moving Waves while I have not heard the entire album, Focus are an excellent band. Very organ driven, like a less over-the-top version of ELP.
- Any Colosseum to start Valentyne Suite obviously!
- Egg - The Polite Force have only heard samples from it. If you like Canterbury you should pick it up fast!
- Rush - A Farewell To Kings (I only own Moving Pictures, Exit Stage Left, 2112, well, and their Rush In Rio DVD) You'll love it, trust me. Get Hemispheres and Permanent Waves too!
Thanks in advance!

- Caravan - In The Land Of Grey And Pink: Great Canterbury Album with some warm/moody instrumental passages with fuzzy organ & Flute. It's got a warm autumn-like feel to it, and i love it!
- Gong - You: A Very nice Psychedelic album. Essential if you've got "Flying Teapot" and/or "Angel's Egg". This one is more structured and has longer songs than Angel's Egg, and the last two songs features some yummy jamming!
- Any Soft Machine to start: I'd recommend Third to start with. Experimental Jazz-rock at it's very best. The long songs features lovely solos from Organ & Sax and the songs just float by. It's not recommended for a "beginner" if you know what i mean, but i guess you're not one.

Anathema - Judgment great moody and not too heavy prog-metal
Soft Machine - Six, Seven you should like'em if you like their other stuff
Van Der Graaf Generator - Still Life, Godbluff, World Record... Godbluff is the best one here, IMO, but all are excellent.
Frank Zappa - Waka/Jawaka, One Size Fits All, Zoot Allures... OSFA is probably his best album, WJ is fairly similar to Grand Wazoo, ZA is more basic but still have some great songs!

I recommend both. TA is MUCH more avant-garde like, where as the projeKcts usually sound "unmessy", even though theres lots of improv.
TA is definitely more for either the diehard KC fan or for people with experimental ears...its rewarding still.

What I've read, it's full of "messy" improvisation, and not many Album-tracks.

Sky Moves Sideways is very Pink Floyd-esque- very space and chill-out typte stuff. Signify retains a lot of the spaciness from the TSMS but condenses it into slightly shorter songs. It has quite a few instrumentals which are awesome. Stupid Dream sees slightly poppier songs and fairly different from the earlier stuff. In Absentia starts to incorporate more of the metal sound into the songs and incorporates more of the spaciness from the earlier albums into the songs Fear of a Blank Planet is kind of like Deadwing...but not. I don't know, it's kind of hard to describe, so just get it, it's great! All of these albums are excellent, but I would start out with Signify and In Absentia. What do you already have by GG and KC? |
By GG: Only "Aquiring the taste" yet on CD  . But i have "Gente Giant", "Octopus", "The Power and the Glory" as .mp3
By KC: Nothing on CD. "In the Court of the Crimson King", "In the Wake of Poseidon", "Lizard", "Islands", "Earthbound", "Larks Tongues in Aspic", "Three of a Perfect Pair" as well as the bootleg "Of Terse Economy" as .mp3
|
Definitely get "In A Glass House" by GG- their best album out of all of them in my opinion.
For KC, definitely check out "Discipline" and "Red."

Steve Hackett - Voyage of the Acolyte Brilliant album! |
Agreed - a brilliant album, with good vocals by Philip Collins Esq..
Incidentally, There is a tenuous (and in R J Godfrey's eyes, contentious) link between this album and The Enid's In The Region Of The Summer Stars, as both are based upon the Tarrot.

This one got me into PT. I was hooked from the very beginning of 'Blackest Eyes'. The album has this spacey feel to it, with poppy moments scattered here and there(like the verse/chorus of Blackest Eyes), and I personally find it a very easy album to fall in love with.
