i excluded porcupine tree becuase most people will straight away move to that project, im not saying thats a bad decision, porcupine tree's my favourite, but i just wanted to see which of his lesser known projects were most popular

I'll go with Blackfield, as well. Excellent mood music and a great change of pace.

I've only heard No-Man, Bass Communion, and Blackfield. I really like Blackfield, and I want to get more from No-Man. I still have to listen to Bass Communion I more, but I don't think it's my type of music. Right now, I'd say I like No-Man the most.

Woo Bass Communion, 1 vote! (me). BC is great and so is IEM, but really I like them all.

Hmm, No-man, Blackfield... No-man, Blackfiled...
I went with no-man, after thinking a bit, but still though that can easily change. Both are fantastic, as is everything Steven Wilson does.

No-Man is great, SW with Fish is also note worthy but Blackfield is "melancholy melody" central! Such beautiful pop-prog is deserving of massive applause. I have used Blackfield as a stepping stone to proggier horizons when trying (mostly successfully) to educate (as opposed to convert) the uninitiated!

1. Blackfield
2. Bass Communion
3. Continuum
Have several No-Man albums but I do not like them as much as the above.
The second in the Continuum series is absolutely fantastic.
Also like Ghosts on Magnetic Tape and Loss from Bass Communion.
Like both Blackfield albums but like the first a little better than the second.
If you don't own the 4 cover version albums that are available - you need to. 2 more to come.

None of them, Porcupine Tree is the only thing I can somehow accept from mister Steven Wilson...

Ive never heard of him claiming to be Zappa!
I have just started listening to his IEM stuff and am impressed.
